Use this page to specify the user for the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. If you are using global security, then you also specify a password.
Specifying a user allows you to resume work done previously with the product. After you type in a user ID, click OK to proceed to the next page and access the administrative console.
To view this page, start the administrative console.
Work that you do with the product and then save before exiting the product will be saved to a configuration identified by the user ID that you enter. To later access work done under that user ID, specify the user ID in the Login page.
If you are logging in from a client machine that currently has a browser open on the administrative console and you connect to the same server, your two connections might share the same HTTP session object, whether or not you are logging in under different user IDs. You must use two different types of browsers (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator) to log in to the administrative console from the same client machine in order to work from two different HTTP session objects, whether or not you use the same user ID. That is, if you need two concurrent sessions on the same client machine, access the administrative console from two different browser types.
Note that you can use the same browser type to log in twice to the console, but you must log in from different physical hosts and use different user IDs. For example, suppose that Joe logs into the administrative console under the user ID joe on the physical host myhost1 using an Internet Explorer browser. Joe can log into the same console a second time using an Internet Explorer browser, but he must use a different user ID (such as peggy) and a different physical host (such as myhost2).
