To use the Management Console, you must be the admin@system user or belong to the admin-role role. For backward compatibility, jadadmin is treated as an alias for admin@system. When you install EAServer, the installer prompts you to enter the password. After you install EAServer, you can reset the administrative password using the set-admin-password script.
Setting the password for the administrative user
At a command prompt, change to the EAServer bin directory.
On Solaris, run:
set-admin-password.sh
On Windows, run:
set-admin-password.bat
The system prompts you to enter a password, which must contain at least six characters, and one of those characters must be a digit. To configure these password requirements, see Chapter 10, “Security Configuration Tasks,” of the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
Connecting to EAServer using the Management Console
Start the server and log in to the Management Console.
In a Web browser, access the following URL, where host is the name of the machine where EAServer is running; 8000 is the default HTTP port number.
http://host:8000/console
In the login window, enter:
Username – admin.
Password – the password that you set for this user.
The Management Console logs in to the local server.
The security domain “system” is the default domain. If you create a user in another domain, you must specify the domain when you log in; for example, userName@domain. The Management Console and the wlogin command line tool default to the system security domain.
When you log in to the Management Console, you can use the predefined connection profile “Local Domain,” or you can define a new connection profile.
See Chapter 2, “Management Console Overview,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.
