The administrative interface of Seon is available in different versions. The most common one is the web interface, which is accessed via a webbrowser of your choice.

All interfaces share the same datasource: the Seonapi. The complete communication between the frontend and backend is done via http or https. The Seonapi is distributed in the directory of the Seon administrative web interface, but can be installed seperately outside of this directory wherever your interface expects it.

Seon administrative web interface

The most easy way of accessing the administrative interface is by using the web interface. Its standard installation directory gives the administrator access via an URL like

http://seon-server/seon/

from where on the interface dynamically forwards the user to the correct directory.

Server selection in the web interface

As a feature available since 2013-04-26, the admninistrative web interface can communicate with any other Seonapi instances than the local one (single requirement: the Seonapi you are communicating with must be of at least the same version). You can access the selection on different ways:

• Use the menu to select the entry "Configuration" -> "Switch Seon srv.":

File:Seonadmin select server.png

• Navigate to any Seon administrative interface and add the appendix "?server":

http://localhost/seon/?server

Seon admin interface app

In situations where your local webbrowser is horrible slow (mainly using Internet Explorer), you can use the Seon admin interface as a richt-client application. The application is a distribution of the web interface, packaged into an executable. You have to know where your Seonapi is reachable via http(s) you want to communicate with.
