This is pretty straight in windows.

But how to do the 2 steps in linux?

    Also there is one more thing you can do - if you are not so particular in using Console but just wants Admin commands to work. You can use HTTP Admin Api Commands instead - you will have to configure your Users.xml to allow HTTP Admin API commands and then read Admin API on how to use it.

    I would suggest first try things in my previous post and see if that works for you.

    1. Starting the Admin Server

    Navigate where FMS is installed - say /opt/adobe/fms & run the command

    >> ./adminserver restart

    2. If you installed Apache the Admin Console page is hosted so you can hit below URL in your browser on Linux box or some other machine( provided there is no firewall blocking port on which Admin Server is listening)

    http://<serverip>/fms_adminConsole.htm (you can try even http://<serverip>:8134/fms_adminConsole.htm if that's port Apache is listening on)

    Once page is displayed you enter admin id & password as you do on windows

    @SE_0208,

    I'm using nginx and so Apache is not installed.

    I can't login to the FMS admin console:

    http://219.153.41.195:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm

    <result>
    <level>error</level>
    <code>NetConnection.Connect.Rejected</code>
    <description>Admin user requires valid username and password.</description>

    ...

    Wait a minute - how can you access http://219.153.41.195:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm - 1111 is admin port and you are trying to access web page - that won't work at all.

    If you web server nginx installed then you can host fms_adminConsole.htm in your nginx's webroot (you can copy it from tools folder of FMS installation).

    Once you host it - then hit the page using URI like http://219.153.41.195:<port>/fms_adminConsole.htm (where nginx is configured to listen to)
