Remote Administration

You can remotely administer EFT from any computer on which the administration interface is installed (with network access). If you are using SSL, you must create and/or assign an SSL certificate to use for connections. When you connect from a remote administration interface, an SSL Certificate dialog box appears in which you must accept the certificate to continue. If you reject the certificate, the User Connect Failed Event is triggered with the Event Reason of "Client SSL Certificate was rejected."

If you are not installing the administrative interface and plan to use the COM API for remote administration, refer to Remotely administering EFT Using the COM API in the COM API reference.

Refer to FAQs About Remote Administration for several facts and caveats to consider regarding remote administration.

Refer to Remote administration via DMZ Gateway if you intend to allow EFT administration through DMZ Gateway.

Remote administration is not allowed after the trial expires if you do not activate the software.

If you are using SQL Express as your database, you may not be able to generate a report remotely, unless the connecting account is a trusted SQL Server connection (for example, if SQL Server and the remote computer are in the same domain, or if SQL Server is configured to allow "mixed authentication").
