Administrative components provide management functions, such as configuration and monitoring, for system services. The following Java ES administrative components are described in this section:
Sun Java System Administration Server (Administration Server) and Server Console together provide a graphical tool that lets you manage Directory Server, Directory Proxy Server, andMessaging Server. The Administration Server processes requests for servers installed in a server group under the same root directory, and then starts the programs required to fulfill the requests.
Server Console is a stand-alone Java application that works in conjunction with an instance of Directory Server and an instance of Administration Server on your network. Server Console acts as the front-end management application for Java ES software in your enterprise.
The Java ES installer provides Server Console and Administration Server together as a single installable component.
The Sun Java System Delegated Administrator is a command-line utility (commadmin) for provisioning users, groups, domains, and resources for Calendar Server, Messaging Server and other Java ES service providers.
Delegated Administrator is automatically installed when you choose to install Access Manager.
