Go to the Access Manager URL.

Click on Users Realm.
Click on Subjects tab.
You should see three new users: authuiadmin, userdbadmin, and userdbauthadmin.
Verify that a user can successfully authenticate against the new realm.
Start a new browser session and log in to Access Manager.
Go to the following URL:
http://AccessManager-1.example.com:1080/amserver/UI/Login?realm=users
The parameter realm=users specifies the new realm to use for authentication. Without the parameter, the default realm is used.
On the login page, provide a user login and password from the existing directory.
authuiadmin
4uthu14dmin
You should be able to log in successfully.
If the login is not successful, watch the existing Directory Server access log to troubleshoot the problem.
At this point, a user can log in against the existing Directory Server if he invokes the realm=users parameter. If such a parameter is absent, the default realm is used.
Administrators who want to access the Access Manager console should log in to the default realm.
