Preliminary information
To use the Application Center, you must configure security settings, start the web application server where IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation is installed, start the Application Center console, and log in.
When you install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation, the Application Center is automatically installed in the specified application server.
If you install the Application Center in WebSphere® Application Server Liberty profile, the server is created and located in installation-directory/server.
After the installation is complete, you must configure the security settings for the applications. See Configuring user authentication for Application Center or, if you are using LDAP authentication, Managing users with LDAP.
The following example shows how to start the server and then the Application Center console on Liberty profile.
You can start the Liberty server by using the server command located in the directory installation-directory/server/wlp/bin.
To start the server, use the command:
server start worklightServerWhen the server is running, you can start the Application Center console by entering this address in your browser:
http://localhost:9080/appcenterconsole/
You are requested to log in. By default, the Application Center installed on Apache Tomcat or WebSphere Liberty Profile has two users defined for this installation:
- demo with password demo
- appcenteradmin with password admin
To start using the Application Center console, refer to The Application Center console.
