To Start Identity Manager and Log in to the User Interface

1. Start your application server.

2. In a Web browser, enter the URL for your application server, including port, and append the URL for the Identity Manager Web application (typically, this is /idm).

   For example: http://appserver.example.com:8080/idm

   Note –

   If you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) as your Web server, you must add index.html to the list of Default Documents under Properties for the Identity Manager virtual directory. Otherwise, the application's main page will not resolve correctly when accessing the Identity Manager server.
