Access the server administration console to configure your Unity Version Control (UVCS) server settings. When you install the Unity Version Control server, you install it with default configuration values and it is ready for your UVCS clients to connect to it and run. The UVCS On-Prem server administration console is a cross-platform server configuration tool UI that the administrator can use to configure the server settings to suit the organization's needs.
Launch the administration console
To launch the server administration console, you can use one of the following methods:- Connect to the server address in your preferred web browser:
- If you don't have any SSL ports defined in your server network configuration, use . The server administration console HTTP endpoint listens on port
http://localhost:7178by default and it's bound to localhost only.7178 - If you do have any SSL ports defined in your server network configuration, use . You can configure that port using the
https://ipserver:7179setting in theWebAdminToolSslPortfile. This endpoint will listen on any network interface.server.conf - Note: The web server automatically uses the first certificate you configured in your network settings. This means that the web interface will automatically use the same certificate for your UVCS SSL connections without any further configuration. If you don't have any SSL ports defined in your server network configuration, only the HTTP endpoint will start.
