PTV xServer Management Console

The PTV xServer Management Console provides a set of information and tools to administer and test your PTV xServer easily.

PTV xServer Information and Management Tools

Some of these tools are only visible if the client's IP has administrator privileges. This is controlled by the server setting adminAccessWhitelist.

By default all IPs have admin privileges, but it is recommended to restrict this to your local network. Also note that the setting proxy allows to exclude a proxy from the whitelist. Especially for cloud scenarios, you can allow proxyControlsWebAdminAccess such that the admin privileges are defined by adding the keyword webadmin to the Features http header.
