Adding a server

SuperMap iPortal administrator can add multiple GIS servers within the organization into the portal for unified management. The administrator can specify one or multiple SuperMap iServer servers as hosting servers, used to publish services; the administrator can monitor multiple GIS servers, so as to guarantee safe and stable operation for platform system.

Before hosting servers and monitoring servers, you need to add one or multiple iServer servers into the portal. The specific added steps are as follows:

Adding a server

1. "Server" : the server access address, format is http://{ip}:{port}/{server}, such as "http://192.168.120.40:8091/iserver "; If the server beding added uses https protocal, the format is https://{ip}:{port}/{server}, such as "https://192.168.120.40:8443/iserver".
2. "Server alias" : setting the alias of the server, used to distinguish different monitored or hosting GIS server nodes.
3. "Manager account": administrator account of the server.
4. "Manager password": administrator account password of the server.
