Realm Server and its Interfaces

Administrators can interact with the realm server using its graphical user interfaces (GUI) and its web API.

You can use the realm server GUI to modify the realm definition and to deploy changes to the realm server and its client application processes. You can also monitor and manage clients as they run, and as the server updates them to use a modified realm definition.

You can use the realm server web API to do all of the previously mentioned administration tasks programmatically (see Realm Server Web API).

TIBCO eFTL

Administrators also use the TIBCO FTL realm server GUI and web API to configure and monitor the TIBCO eFTL™ service. For information about these GUI pages and web API, see the TIBCO eFTL product documentation set.
