Web Gateway administrative console
The Web Gateway administrative console, which is provided with WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition, provides a graphical interface for you to use to administer file spaces and user mappings. If you have the security role wmqfte-admin you can use the administrative console to complete administrative tasks.
Using the administrative console
When you have deployed the Web Gateway to your application server, you can access the administrative console by opening a web browser and typing http://host:port/wmqfteconsole. If you changed the context root from the default of wmqfteconsole when you deployed the Web Gateway, you must use that value instead of wmqfteconsole.
If you are using WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, you might see the following error: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap. To fix this problem, change the value of the sslProtocol setting of the TomcatWebSSLConnector to SSL then restart the connector.
Tasks you can perform using the administrative console

You can create a file space by clicking the File spaces tab, and then clicking Add.
