Accessing Web Console

After you have installed and configured Web Services, log in to the Web Console to verify the installation and to administer the Connect:Direct Web Server.

Before you begin, ensure that the Web Console and Web server are running.

  1. Launch a web browser and enter the following URL to connect to the IBM Connect:Direct Web Console. 
    
https://<hostname:port>/cdws-ui/index.html
    The Web Console login page displays.
  2. At the Admin Functions login tab, type the default ID and password (admin/admin) and click Log in.
    Administrator can now manage (add, modify, or remove) IBM Connect:Direct user nodes.
  3. Log in to the User Functions tab to complete operational tasks such as, Add, Modify,or Delete Netmap entries or Initialization Parameters (initparms).
    Note: For security reasons, it is recommended that you change the default administrator password immediately after your first login. To change the administrator ID and password, use Reset Password option under the Admin view.
