OS4X administrative interface

The administrative interface of OS4X is available in different versions. The most common one is the web interface, which is accessed via a webbrowser of your choice.

All interfaces share the same datasource: the OS4Xapi. The complete communication between the frontend and backend is done via http or https. The OS4Xapi is distributed in the directory of the OS4X administrative web interface, but can be installed seperately outside of this directory wherever your interface expects it.

OS4X administrative web interface

The most easy way of accessing the administrative interface is by using the web interface. Its standard installation directory gives the administrator access via an URL like

http://os4x-server/os4x/

from where on the interface dynamically forwards the user to the correct directory.

Server selection in the web interface

As a feature available since 2013-04-26, the admninistrative web interface can communicate with other OS4Xapi instances than the local one. You can access the selection on different ways:

• Use the menu to select the entry "Configuration" -> "Switch OS4X srv.":

• Navigate to any OS4X administrative interface and add the appendix "?server":

http://localhost/os4x/?server
