Logging in to the Community Console

This section provides the steps for displaying and logging into the Community Console. The recommended screen resolution is 1024x768.

Note:
The WebSphere Partner Gateway Community Console requires cookie support to be turned on to maintain session information. No personal information is stored in the cookie and it expires when the browser is closed.
  1. Open a Web browser and enter the following URL to display the console:

    http://<hostname>.<domain>:58080/console (unsecure)

    https://<hostname>.<domain>:58443/console (secure)

    Where <hostname> and <domain> are the name and location of the computer hosting the Community Console component.

    Note:
    These URLs assume the default port numbers are used. If you changed the default port numbers, replace the default numbers with the values you specified.

In most cases, your Community Operator has sent you the user name, initial password, and company login name that you will use to log in to the Community Console. You will need this information for the following procedure. If you have not received this information, contact your Community Operator.

To log in to the Community Console (these instructions are for the Community Manager as well as participants):

  1. Enter the User Name for your company.
  2. Enter the Password for your company.
  3. Enter your Company Login Name, for example, IBM.
  4. Click Login. When you log in the first time, you must create a new password.
  5. Enter a new password, then enter the new password a second time in the Verify text box.
  6. Click Save. The system displays the console's initial entry screen.
