Logging in to the Community Console

The Community Console is the access point to WebSphere Partner Gateway. Most of the tasks you will perform in setting up the hub require that you be logged in as the Hub Administrator (hub admin), which is the super-user of the system.

Make sure you know the IP address of the computer on which the Console component is running. You will enter that address in the HTTP command.

  1. From a browser, type the following URL:
    http://<IP_address>:58080/console
  2. Enter the following information:
    1. For User Name, type hubadmin
    2. For Password, type Pa55word
      Note: If you have already signed on to the Community Console and changed the default password of Pa55word, enter your new password in the Password field.
    3. For Company Login Name, type Operator

You see the Participant Search page, which is always the first page displayed when you log in to the Community Console.

You will use this page later in the book to define participants.

If you click Search now, you will see that one participant, the Community Operator, is listed. The Community Operator is defined automatically by WebSphere Partner Gateway.

Note: If you have not changed your password from the default of Pa55word, you will be prompted to do so before the Participant Search page is displayed.
