Hi @Simon L.,

Looks like the string interpolation has not worked when the index_admin.html page was generated. As you can see ${admin-url} is there instead of the actual URL.

You can find the index_admin.html file in following location in your application server:

\\<IFS_HOME>\instance\<InstanceID>\www-root

Open the index_admin.html file in edit mode and locate the following block:

        <div class="element">
            <a href="https://<host>:<port>/ifsconsole/" class="linkContainer">
                <img class="image" id="AdminConsoleLink" src="Images/AdminConsoleImage.jpg">
                <h2>IFS Middleware Server Admin Console</h2>
                <p class="helpText">Used to manage a Middleware Server installation.</p>
            </a>
        </div>

Then change the URL to the correct one. 

You could also try a reconfiguration to see if that would correct the file. 

Hope this helps!

In addition to the Charith’s explanation, if you have configured proxy/load balancer with middleware, the admin starting page will not allow to access Admin console and Monitoring console. (You will see an error similar to what you get)

The idea behind this would be that the internal administration/monitoring tools are not exposed to end users via proxy. Those tools can be accessed via internal URLs like <admin_server_host>:<admin_server_port>/ifsconsole

 Thank you , @Charith Epitawatta .

Seems like the reconfiguration procedure is breaking the Index_admin everytime.

Manual correction of the file works .

Any idea why the file gets broken on reconfiguration?

thank you , 

Best regards

Simon,

Please run the reconfigure and specify the :443 port on your Environment URL.

The IFS wizard doesn't complete it's find and replace when building the HTML otherwise and you end up with a URL that's not parsed and formatted correctly.
