Accessing the web user interface

You can use the IBM® App Connect Enterprise web user interface to access integration node and integration server resources through a web browser.

1. Start the web user interface, by using one of the following methods:
   • From the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit: In the toolkit, right-click the integration node or server and select Start web user interface from the menu.
   • From a web browser: Enter the URL for the web user interface into a web browser, in the following form:

     protocol://hostname:port

     where:

     • protocol is either http or https
     • hostname is the host that you specified in the host property in the .yaml configuration file for the integration node or server (for example, localhost or 127.0.0.1)
     • port identifies the port that is to be used for the web user interface and the toolkit, and must match the value that you set for the port property in the .yaml configuration file; by default this is set to 4414.
     For example:

     https://localhost:4414

     or

     https://127.0.0.1:4414

   If the integration server is configured to require authentication for administrative tasks (that is, if the basicAuth property in the .yaml configuration file is set to true), you are prompted to enter your user ID and password.
2. If prompted, enter your user ID and password and log in to the system.
   If the connection to the web user interface is not secured, you can access all data and resources without logging in. Users have permissions granted to them according to their role, so administrators and web users can have different access to resources based on their role.
