Starting the administrative console

The administrative console is a Web-based application that runs on any browser supported by WebSphere Application Server. Start the administrative console to begin administering the system.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have a running application server profile. See Starting WebSphere Application Server if you have not yet attempted to start the application server.

The browser-based administrative console for WebSphere Application Server requires that cookies be enabled in the browser. This topic also describes how to enable cookies.

About this task

Use this procedure to start the administrative console on a workstation.

Procedure

  1. Open the following Web page in your browser:
    http://your.server.name:port/ibm/console

    The your.server.name variable is the host name of the iSeries server on which your application server is running. The port variable is the administrative console port as noted in the ready message in the joblog of your application server.

    The administrative console port of the default application server profile is 9060. For more information about the ready message, see Verifying that the application server is running.

  2. When prompted, enter a user ID.

    The administrative console is displayed in the browser window.

    The user ID does not need to be an iSeries user profile. This user ID is used only to track which users make changes to the application server configuration.

  3. Enable cookies for your Web browser.

    Netscape Navigator: Perform the following procedure:

    1. Click Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click Advanced in the left pane.
    3. The right pane shows settings for cookies. Verify that cookies are not disabled.
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, 5.0, and 5.5: Perform the following procedure:
    1. Click Tools > Internet Options.
    2. Click Security.
    3. Click Custom Level > Cookies > Enable.
    4. Click OK.
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0: Perform the following procedure:
    1. Click Tools > Internet Options.
    2. Click Privacy > Advanced.
    3. Click Accept to accept first-party and third-party cookies..
    4. Click OK.

What to do next

See your browser documentation for help enabling cookies for other supported Web browsers.

Some browsers provide advanced settings so that you can configure cookie settings separately for different domains, such as http://mycompany.com. For help with advanced features, see the documentation for your browser.

Next: Go to Configuring the virtual host to continue the installation.
