## Change server settings

A site administrator can change the status of the server, and update the internal and external server URL.

To change server settings:

1. In Administration, select Configuration > Servers and click the Main Server tab.

2. Click the server name link in the grid to open the server details page.

3. In the Main details tab, perform the following:

   1. Select the server status:

      - Non-Operational. Select when performing a maintenance task to prevent users accessing the system.

      - Operational. Select after maintenance is complete, so that all relevant components can access the server.

   2. Change the internal and external URL as required:

      - Internal URL. The URL is used for all internal communication between the server and hosts, such as performing system health checks.

      - External URL. The URL is used to connect to the server from an external source. This is used, for example, if the environment is configured with a load balancer, or if the internal URL is not directly accessible.

        Note: For SSL connectivity, add a server using the following format for the external URL:

        `https://<LRE_server>`

4. Click Save to save your changes.
