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.

Before you begin

About this task

If your catalog servers are running in a stand-alone environment, with a Java™ security manager, then the user ID that you use to log in must correspond to a principal that has the following permissions in the Java security policy file:
grant principal javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal "CN=manager,O=acme,OU=OGSample"
     {
        permission javax.management.MBeanPermission "*", "getAttribute,setAttribute,invoke,queryNames,addNotificationListener,removeNotificationListener";
     };

Procedure

  1. Optional: If you want to run your console server on a port other than the default port, edit the wxs_install_root/ObjectGrid/console/config/zero.config file. The default port for the console server is 7080 for HTTP and 7443 for HTTPS. You can edit the following properties to change the default values:
    /config/http/port = 7080
    /config/https/port = 7443 
    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/ObjectGrid/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.
    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
    • The Administrator e-mail address
