Signing on to the administrative console

After you install the server, access the administrative console to verify the configuration and manage the server.

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

<host> is the hostname of the server, and <port> is the port on which the server accepts connections from HTTPS clients. This was configured during the install.

The root user distinguished name (DN) or the common name of a root user DN is required to sign on to the administrative console. For example, if the DN created when the server was installed is cn=Directory Manager, directory manager can be used to sign on to the administrative console.

To run the administrative console in an external container, such as Tomcat, seeDeploying the administrative console.
