Starting and logging on to the web console

Start the console server by running the startConsoleServer command and logging on to the server with the default user ID and password.

grant principal javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal "CN=manager,O=acme,OU=OGSample"
     {
        permission javax.management.MBeanPermission "*", "getAttribute,setAttribute,invoke,queryNames,addNotificationListener,removeNotificationListener";
     };

1. Optional: If you want to run your console server on a port other than the default port, edit the web console configuration.
   Click Settings > Configuration > System.
   The default port for the console server is 7080 for HTTP and 7443 for HTTPS. If you edit these values after the console server is already started, restart the server to use the new port numbers.
2. Start the console server.
   The startConsoleServer.bat|sh script for starting the console server is in the wxs_install_root/bin directory of your installation.
3. Log on to the console.
   1. From your web browser, go to https://your.console.host:7443, replacing your.console.host with the host name of the server onto which you installed the console. If you had changed the port number, remember to update the port number in the URL.
   2. Log on to the console.
      • User ID: admin
      • Password: admin

      The console welcome page is displayed.
4. Edit the console configuration.
   Click Settings > Configuration to review the console configuration. The console configuration includes information such as:

   • Trace string for the WebSphere® eXtreme Scale client, such as *=all=disabled
   • The Administrator name and password.
     Note: Changing the Administrator name does not change the login user ID. The login ID is always admin.
   • The Administrator e-mail address
   Note: The administrator name is the name of the user with user ID admin.
