Getting Started After Installing

Perform postinstallation testing and configuration.

Prerequisites
Start Sybase Control Center.
Task
  1. Install Adobe Flash Player 10.1 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. Click the link that says Test your Adobe Flash Player installation. The version information box on the next page that appears 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 provides a default login account, sccadmin, for initial configuration and setting up permanent authentication. The password is set during installation.

    Note: The sccadmin account and the preconfigured user login module on which it is 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 disable sccadmin as soon as you have set up and tested authentication, and that you change the password on the sccadmin account if you do not plan to set up and test authentication right away.

  5. (Optional) Change the password or disable sccadmin—see Changing the Password or Disabling the Default Login Account.
  6. Learn about Sybase Control Center. To open the help system, click ? in the upper-right corner of the screen, or select Help > Online Documentation.
