Administering the Documentation Server

The AnswerBook2 software provides a web-browser interface (the Admin GUI) and a command-line interface (ab2admin) that you can use to administer the documentation server. Most functions are available in either interface.

To access the main page of the Admin GUI, select AnswerBook2 Administration from the Options Page of the AnswerBook2 browser, or, if you are running CDE, select AnswerBook2 Admin from the System_Admin applications window. All pages in the Admin GUI include a standard set of icons across the top of the screen.

To access the command-line interface, use the command: /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin. For detailed information about the command-line interface, see the ab2admin(1m) man page.

Only authorized administrative users can access the administrative functions. For more information, see "Controlling Administrative Access".
