Logging in to Admin Center

After the Admin Center web application starts, you can point a web browser at Admin Center and log in. After logging in, the first page shown is the Toolbox.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have a browser that supports Admin Center.

  • For browsing Admin Center on a computer: Firefox ESR 38 or 45, Chrome 49 or 50, Safari 9, Microsoft Edge 20 or Internet Explorer 11 browser (for best experience, use Chrome or Firefox browser)
  • For browsing Admin Center on an iPhone or iPad: Safari browser on iOS 9.x
  • For browsing Admin Center on an Android mobile device: Chrome browser on Android 5.0 Lollipop and 4.4 KitKat

Procedure

  1. Point a web browser at Admin Center.
    https://host_name:port_number/adminCenter/

    For host_name, specify the IP address or domain name server (DNS) host name of the computer on which the Liberty server is running. Specify localhost only if the browser is running on the same computer as the server.

    For port_number, specify the httpsPort value in the server.xml file. For example:

    https://localhost:9443/adminCenter/
      
    https://myhost.xyz.com:9443/adminCenter/
      
    https://9.65.234.567:9443/adminCenter/
  2. If your browser prompts you to confirm that the connection is trusted, specify an exception or otherwise enable the connection to continue to Admin Center.
  3. Log in to Admin Center.

    When you configured the server.xml file of the server to enable Admin Center, you defined one or more user names and passwords authorized to access the Admin Center. To log in to Admin Center, specify an authorized user name and password.

    For example, specify the user name admin and the password adminpwd.

What to do next

When you first access the Toolbox, it has the Server Config and Explore tools and a bookmark to wasdev.net. The Toolbox also has the Deploy tool if Admin Center is run on a collective controller. The Deploy tool is not available if Admin Center is run on a stand-alone server.

[16.0.0.4 and later]The Toolbox has the Java Batch tool if the configuration file for the server that runs Admin Center has the batchManagement-1.0 feature.

Toolbox

To add or remove tools and bookmarks, select Toolbox Edit icon and use the Tool Catalog to customize your user-specific Toolbox.

To view a tool, select its Toolbox icon or directly launch the tool using the URL that is shown in the browser when viewing the tool. For example, to directly launch the Explore tool, use a URL such as https://localhost:9443/adminCenter/#explore.

Later, to log out of Admin Center, select User icon > Log out user_name.
