The Administrative Console

To open the Administrative Console, a web browser should be pointed at:

https://domain:10032/ibm/console"/>

Alternatively, the Administrative Console can be started from Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Application Server Network Deployment Version > Profiles > wp_profile > Administrative console. The Start the server and Stop the server commands can also be used from this menu to start and stop the servers.

Each time the Administration Console is opened, a username and password will be requested for login. These credentials will be those that were used when installing the Portal Server. The Administration Console is divided into two sections. The left hand side contains a tree hierarchy for navigating the console and the right hand side displays the information related to the current node selected in the tree. When instructed toNavigate to, the tree hierarchy should be traversed to the relevant node.
