Administration of ThinLinc using the web administration interface

Introduction

This chapter describes the web-based ThinLinc administration interface called tlwebadm. This administration interface is installed automatically by the ThinLinc installation program, and may be accessed by pointing your web browser to https://<hostname>:1010.

The default username for logging in to tlwebadm is admin, and the password is as specified during installation (or in the case of automated installs, as specified in the answers file).

For information on configuring tlwebadm, for example setting a password or changing the default port, see Parameters in /tlwebadm/.

Note

A password must be set and the tlwebadm service restarted before use.

Modules

The tlwebadm interface consists of several modules which address different aspects of ThinLinc configuration:

  • System health, for viewing information about ThinLinc master, agent and Web Access services, and testing user or group lookup performance. See The system health module below.

  • Status, for viewing information such as license usage, server load and sessions. See The status module below.
