Once an application is configured, users can sign on using any configured user credentials. The QuickStart utility uses five users, which are configured by default. Credentials for these users are displayed in the User Credentials section.

Steps

  1. Go to https://hostname:8443 and sign on to the QuickStart utility.

    If you cannot access the utility, you might need to restart it by rerunning the .jar file. For more information, see the final step in Installing and configuring QuickStart components.
