Role of webMethods Administrator
The webMethods Administrator tool is an HTML-based graphical user interface thatallows you to manage various resources on multiple servers from a central location. The
webMethods Administrator tool allows you to quickly and securely configure anywebMethods resource on an integration platform. Think of webMethods Administrator asa portal to the resources on your integration platform. The webMethods Administratorruns as a package on one of the Integration Servers in your integration platform. ThewebMethods Administrator resources include Broker Servers, Integration Servers,Workflow Servers, Mainframe Servers, and Manager Servers. In webMethodsAdministrator, your view consists of folders and resources. Each folder contains a list ofmanaged servers and their packages.
From an Integration Server (IS) Administrator, you can manage resources such asadapters, Brokers, Repository Servers and Proxy Servers.
The following illustration shows how webMethods Administrator is connected to
Integration Servers, a Broker Server, and a Mainframe Server.

webMethods Administrator and Integration Server
Administrator
The webMethods Administrator serves as a portal to administer multiple remote
Integration Servers, whereas the IS Administrator is the utility that manages one specificIntegration Server and its resources, such as adapters, Brokers, Repository Servers, andProxy Servers. The webMethods Administrator is installed on one Integration Server andis used to view other servers and their packages. With webMethods Administrator, youcan perform simple administrative tasks, as listed on page 12.
The IS Administrator allows you to perform more complicated administrator tasks on anindividual Integration Server, such as: monitoring server activity, examining loginformation, enabling/disabling services, and adjusting the servers performance features.
Tools that Work Together
While using webMethods Administrator, you may need to administer one IntegrationServer, and perform tasks that are not possible with webMethods Administrator, such aschange the privileges for a user account. You can quickly access the IS Administratorthrough webMethods Administrator. See the Portal to IS Administrator on page 24forinstructions on how to access IS Administrator from webMethods Administrator.
webMethods Administrator allows you to survey and organize your view of servers andresources and see the tasks you need to perform, if any. For example, in webMethodsAdministrator you can see that all the servers in the integration platform are up andrunning. However, if you need to stop and restart one server, you will perform that taskfrom the IS Administrator, then return to webMethods Administrator. See Portal to
IS Administrator on page 24for information about returning to webMethodsAdministrator.

What Are the webMethods Administrator Packages?
The webMethods Administrator consists of two packages: WmAdmin andWmAdminResource. Using the webMethods installer, webMethods Administrator is
installed as an optional component in its own directory called webMethodsAdministration. If you select these packages, both are installed in thewebMethods6\IntegrationServer\packages\ directory. For installation instructions,see webMethods Integration Platform Installation Guide.
You can install both packages on any Integration Server in the network to make it functionin any of three ways:
The webMethods Administrator
A server that can be administered by the webMethods Administrator
As both
After the WmAdminandWmAdminResourcepackages are installed on a local andremote server, respectively, the following users and groups are created on the local andremote servers.
Central users
Central administrators
CentralAdministrators group
CentralUsers group
The server uses user and group information to authenticate clients and determine theserver resources that a client is allowed to access. Access to the servers resources is
controlled at the group level. With these users and groups, you can control what servicesand tasks each user performs. For information on group levels, see Predefined Groupsand User-Access Levels on page 33.
WmAdmin and WmAdminResource Packages
The WmAdmin package installs on the Integration Server and acts as the webMethodsAdministrator, and provides the administrative services and Dynamic Server Pages(DSPs). The WmAdminResource package, or client, provides services that thewebMethods Administrator invokes remotely to retrieve resource information fromremote servers. Any server with the WmAdmin package installed has webMethods
Administrator capability. There is no limit to the number of webMethods Administratorsthat you can install on an integration platform. Any server with the WmAdminResourcepackage installed can respond to resource queries from webMethods Administrator.
When installed, the WmAdmin and WmAdminResource packages establish all thenecessary users, groups, and Access Control Lists (ACLs) required for the IntegrationServer to provide administrative and client functionalities. In addition, each

The webMethods Administrator does not provide preconfigured resources to beadministered. However, it provides an easy way to allow the user to register anIntegration Server with the webMethods Administrator. Once registered, thewebMethods Administrator pulls resource information back from the remote server tviewed in the webMethods Administrator GUI.
Example
The WmAdmin package resides on the local Integration Server. This Integration Servethe server from which you will administer remote servers. The WmAdminResourcepackage resides on each remote Integration Server. The local Integration Server (using
webMethods Administrator) connects to the remote server and gathers information.For example, you have three Integration Servers with the following names:
Sales
Production
Manufacturing
The WmAdmin package is installed on the Production server and theWmAdminResource package is installed on both the Sales and Manufacturing. TheProduction server is local to you, so you want to administer the remote servers from th(See the illustration below.)

Defining Users
Defining different users allows the server to identify who is currently accessing theresources on the server through the user name. For example, if there are several
applications accessing resources in the Integration Server, then the administrator candefine different users to represent these different applications.
Predefined users are used to invoke different services from different applications. Forexample, only users that are members of the Developers group can connect to the serverfrom the webMethods Developer to create, modify, and delete services.
When you add a user to webMethods Administrator, you specify a user name andpassword. The user is initially assigned to the Everybody group. When adding a user tothe webMethods Administrator, you are adding a user to the local Integration Server. SeePredefined Groups and User-Access Levels on page 33.

Access to the servers resources is controlled at the group level. A group membershipidentifies the groups to which a user belongs. The webMethods Administrator is instawith the following predefined groups.
The Everybodygroup is predefined by IS Administrator.
The CentralUsersand CentralAdministratorsgroups are predefined by webMethodsAdministrator.
A group is a named collection of users that share privileges. The following table showspredefined group name, member, access level, and a description for each group. Eachuser has a level of access associated with his or her user account, and a group to whichthat user belongs. The webMethods Administrator users belonging to the Everybody,CentralUsers,or CentralAdministratorgroups are automatically added to the IntegrationServer on which the webMethods Administrator, where the user accounts were createresides.
The administrator can add or remove a user to or from any of the groups identified in

Clustering
Clusteringis an advanced feature of the webMethods Integration Platform thatsubstantially extends the reliability, availability, and scalability of the Integration Server.The clustering feature uses a repository to share cluster information and thereby linkmultiple Integration Servers into a virtual server cluster. For more information aboutclustering, see webMethods Integration Server Clustering Guide.
Because the webMethods Administrator is similar in capabilities to the IS Administrator,
the webMethods Administrator can be clustered like any other Integration Server. ThewebMethods Administrator makes no distinction between resources that are members ofa cluster versus standalone resources. You can organize members of a cluster any wayyou like. For example, you can add all members of a cluster into a folder that representsthat cluster, or you can separate them in different folders.
Administering a Server or Resource in a Folder
Important! Make sure that the WmAdmin package runs on all servers in a cluster so thatany one of them can take over the function of webMethods Administrator.

Mapping Logical Servers to Physical Ser
webMethods Administrator Users Guide Version 6.1
Mapping Logical Servers to Physical Servers
The purpose of mapping logical servers to physical servers is to allow you the flexibilto map different processes to servers, and to change that mapping easily.
The webMethods Modeler is a graphical modeling tool for specifying business proceswhich includes the ability to generate skeleton code to implement the modeled procesThe Modeler creates a business process step that is mapped to a logical server, which
becomes a unit of deployment when a process is deployed.
A logical serveris a simple token to identify a server for use in modeling from anarchitectural viewpoint. It lacks physical parameters such as a host or port. The logicaserver is comprised of high-level functionality with a logical name. Aphysical serverisactual Integration Server to which the logical server is mapped. Once a logical server mapped to a physical server, you can change the mapping without affecting the high-lusage.
As you draw the model in the webMethods Modeler, you identify where each step is tcompleted; that is, you assign steps to servers. However, when assigning the steps, younot specify a specific physical server (for example, acct45.company.com:5555). Rather, assign steps to a logical server (for example, Accounting). Each logical server is mappea physical server. By assigning the steps to logical servers, you assign steps based onfunctionality and can easily change the underlying physical servers.
Mapping logical servers to physical servers serves two purposes:
Creates a business process that can be used by the webMethods Modeler tool
Shares processes between environments where physical infrastructure differs
When a logical and physical server are mapped, that information is available to the
Modeler. This map is imported every time you create the new process through Modelor every time you start the Modeler. The location where the logical and physical mappresides is not on the Modeler tool, but on the Integration Server, which you access throwebMethods Administrator. The logical server is mapped to a physical server throughmapping that you manage through the webMethods Administrator.

After you finish mapping, the Modeler queries the mapping to determine which physicalservers should generate packages. For more information about the Modeler, refer towebMethods Modeler Users Guide.
Managing Logical Servers
Mapping logical servers to physical servers enables you to:
Maintain a list of logical servers
Leverage this information in other tools, such as Modeler
The webMethods Administrator allows you to manage (add, delete, and edit) new logicalservers and associate them with, that is, add or remove them from the physical servers

Securi ty
The security for webMethods Administrator closely models that of the IS Administrator.It is the responsibility of the underlying servers being administered to provide a basic
security model for communication between servers. For products that are hosted on theIntegration Server, this will not be a problem because the underlying Integration Serversecurity model will be used. For products not hosted on the Integration Server, it will bethe responsibility of that servers administrator to institute acceptable security for theunderlying servers.
For all products, appropriate ACLs need to be set on the services contained in the HTML-based Admin packages such as WmAdmin, WmBrokerAdmin, WmMainframeAdmin toprevent unauthorized users from accessing administrative functions of the underlyingserver products. For example, in the WmAdmin package, all services and DSP files haveassociated ACLs. As a result, users without privileges are denied access.
The webMethods Administrator tool provides the following security options:
Uses the existing Integration Server authentication model that uses the browser-basedlogon to the server. The browser caches all security credentials and resends theauthentication information on every HTTP request to the Integration Server. With thisapproach, all sessions established on the remote Integration Server will remain activeuntil timed out (as a result of the lack of activity), or until the webMethodsAdministrator user exits the browser session. At this point, the user is promptedagain for credential information to access that resource again. The security advantageis that webMethods Administrator stores no remote server credential information
locally.
Uses user account and group information retrieved from Lightweight DirectoryAccess Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is used for the user accounts and groups defined onthe Integration Server. This security option is provided through existing IntegrationServer LDAP capability.
For information about the IS Administrator security, see webMethods Integration ServerAdministrators Guideand the webMethods Integration Server Security Best Practices.
Note: Creating and managing ACLs is a task performed in IS Administrator. To create,update, and delete ACLs, see webMethods Integration Server Administrators Guide.
