Logging in to the Configuration Manager

Before You Begin

To use the Configuration Manager, you first log in to the Java^TM Web Console. The Java Web Console offers a standard login page to access management applications, all of which have a consistent user interface.

Steps

1. Access the Java Web Console by typing the following URL in your browser:

   https://<hostname>.<domainname>:6789, where <hostname>.<domainname> refer to the server name that was specified during the setup procedure. For example, https://myserver.mycompany.com:6789

   The Java Web Console Login page appears, displaying the name of the server that you log into above the text fields for the username and password.

2. In the Java Web Console Login page, type the administrator's LDAP username and the password, and then click the Log In button.

   After successful authentication, the Java Web Console displays the opening page for the session. If there are any login errors, you are returned to the Login page and the reason for the error is displayed.

3. Click the Sun Java^TM Desktop System Configuration Manager, Release 1.1 link.

   This launches the Configuration Manager session.

   Note –

   To reach the Configuration Manager application directly after logging in, without passing through the Java Web Console's launch page, type the URL of the host where the Java Web Console's server software is installed. Include the host name, the domain, the port, and also include the Configuration Manager file name, in the form: https://<hostname>.<domainname>:6789/apoc
