# Signing on to the administrative console (manual installation)

## Steps

1. To access the administrative console, go to `https://<host>:<port>/console/login`.

   The default port is 8443.

2. To sign on to the administrative console, use the initial root user distinguished name (DN) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
   \<p>A name uniquely identifying an object within the hierarchy of a directory tree.\</p>
   \</div>)* and root user password specified during setup.

   The default DN is `cn=Directory Manager`.
