The connector administration interface provides several screens for managing users, certificates, credentials, and configuration backups. All screens are accessed through the web-based interface running on the connector server.
About
The About screen displays read-only system information about the installed connector. It cannot be edited.
Connector information: Version number, Windows service name, and HTTPS port.
Certificate information: The common name and full distinguished name of the certificate assigned to the connector. The distinguished name is used when the connector authenticates with the platform and may be needed when configuring roles or access permissions.
Installation information: Install directory and driver file name (if applicable).
Platform connection details: The identifier of the platform instance receiving the connector's data, and the OData connection URL.
Source system configuration (connector-type specific): Tag list object name, remote execution connector name, and database source URL where applicable.
Manage Users
The Manage Users screen controls who can access and administer the connector interface. Only users with the Administrator role can create or delete other users.
To add a user, select Add User, complete the required fields, and save. To edit an existing user, select the edit icon next to the user. To remove a user, select the delete icon and confirm.
User fields:
Username — minimum 6 characters
Role — User, Configurator, or Administrator
Password — 8 to 20 characters, must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number
Manage Certificates
The Manage Certificates screen displays the SSL and authentication certificates stored by the connector. Certificates can be viewed, downloaded, deleted, or replaced from this screen.
To view a certificate, select View Certificate next to it. To download, select the download icon — certificates are saved in PEM format. To upload a new certificate or replace an existing one, select Upload Certificate and choose a .pem or .cer file. To delete, select the delete icon and confirm. Note that some system certificates cannot be removed.
Certificates used by the connector must be generated outside the connector environment. See Client Certificates for Connectors for the generation procedure.
Manage Credentials
The Manage Credentials screen is used to upload and manage the credential files the connector uses to authenticate with external systems and the platform. Only users with the Administrator role can access this screen.
To upload a new credentials file or replace an existing one, select Upload Credentials and choose the file. If the uploaded credentials are encrypted, a warning indicator appears in the Status column. Select the indicator, enter the encryption key, and confirm — the credentials will be decrypted and the status will update. To remove a credentials file, select the delete icon and confirm. Deleting credentials prevents the connector from authenticating with the associated system until new credentials are uploaded.
Import and Export
The Import/Export screen allows connector configuration to be backed up and restored. This is useful when upgrading the connector, migrating to a new server, or recovering from a failure.
Configuration items that can be exported include uploads, tag queries, and scheduled jobs. To export individual items, select the download icon next to the item. To export all configuration data at once, select Download All. Files are exported in XML format.
To import previously exported configuration, select Import and choose the XML file. Imported data is added to the existing configuration — it does not overwrite items that already exist. If you need to replace existing configuration, delete the current items before importing.
