Connecting

You log in to Integrated Analytics System using a number of different interfaces, depending on your role.

To log in to the system initially:

Appliance administrator: Use the KVM in the rack or remote terminal sessions over the interface set up during installation of the appliance.
Database administrator: Use a browser or remote terminal sessions over the interface set up during installation of the appliance.

Important: Browser prerequisites for the appliance web console:

Google Chrome 60 or later
Mozilla Firefox 52 or later
Internet Explorer is not supported

Default users and passwords

Two default users are provided with the appliance:

Table 1. Default users
User ID	Default password	Role
apuser	puffin	Appliance administrator
bluadmin	Customer defined (set at installation)	Database administrator

Appliance Administrator - Platform command line interface

The Appliance administrator logs in to the platform line interface to monitor or check the appliance status, to perform maintenance, or to add users.

You can use CLI commands, when logged into a node, to manage the appliance software, hardware, and configure alerts.

Refer to ap for information on the available commands.

Administrators connect to the appliance through a terminal session at:

ssh apuser@user_defined_IP_address

logging in as user apuser with the default password puffin or with a user-defined password.

Database administrator and users - web console

The web console is a web-based client for managing and monitoring the Integrated Analytics System. You can use the web console more directly and intuitively to administer multiple database objects such as tables, views, schemas, privileges, workloads, and add users. You can also monitor the system and workloads, get alerts, and receive recommendations on how to solve system and database problems.

The database administrator uses the web console to monitor performance.

Users and administrators connect to the web console at:

https://user_defined_IP_address:11089/console

Administrators can log in as user bluadmin with their customer-defined password, while database users can log in as the database user with their user-defined password.

Database administrator and users - database command line

Database users must be added to the appliance by the database administrator.

Users and administrators connect to the database BLUDB through a terminal session at:

ssh <username>@<Customer_defined_IP_address> -po 50022

Administrators can log in as user bluadmin with their customer-defined password, while database users can log in as the database user with their user-defined password.

Data Science Experience Local (DSX Local) connections - web console

You can connect to the DSX Local console at:

https://User-defined-IP_address:8444

For more information, see Data Science Experience integration (deprecated).

Alternative connections to the database

You can connect command line interfaces or IBM applications or tools to your Db2® Warehouse database. For detailed information, see: Connecting to your Db2 database.
