Getting Started After Installing

Perform post-installation testing and configuration.

Prerequisites
Start Sybase Control Center.
Task
  1. Install Adobe Flash Player 10 or later in the Web browser you will use to connect to Sybase Control Center.

    Flash Player is a free plug-in. You can download the latest version from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.

    If Flash Player is already installed but you are not sure which version you have, go to the Adobe test site at http://adobe.com/shockwave/welcome. Move your mouse over the About button in the Flash Player box. It displays your Flash Player version.

  2. To connect to Sybase Control Center, direct your browser to:
    https://<scc_server_hostname>:8283/scc
    Note: If you changed the default HTTPS port during installation, use the new port number instead of 8283.
  3. If you see an error about the security certificate, add Sybase Control Center to your browser’s trusted sites zone (Internet Explorer) or add a security exception (Firefox).
  4. Log in. Sybase Control Center has two default login accounts:
    • sccadmin – for initial configuration and setting up permanent authentication.
    • sccuser – for testing.
    Neither of these accounts requires a password.
    Note:

    The sccadmin and sccuser accounts and the simple login module on which they are based are not intended for use in a production environment. Sybase recommends that you pass authentication responsibility to your operating system or to LDAP, as described in the Sybase Control Center > Get Started > Setting Up Security section of the online help.

    Sybase further recommends that you set passwords on sccadmin and sccuser as soon as possible, and that you disable the accounts as soon as you have set up and tested authentication.

  5. (Optional) Configure passwords or disable sccadmin and sccuser—see Setting Passwords or Disabling Default Login Accounts.
  6. Learn about Sybase Control Center by following the links on the introductory screen—or, to open the help system, click ? in the upper-right corner of the screen, or select Help > Online Documentation.
