Setting up Maximo Application Suite environment

The first time that you log in to Maximo® Application Suite as the administrator user, no applications are deployed, and no users are logged in to the system. Complete the following tasks to prepare the Maximo Application Suite environment.

In Maximo Application Suite 9.1, select the Administration page on side navigation menu from the Suite application.

In Maximo Application Suite 9.0 and earlier, select the Administration page by clicking the Administration icon in the Maximo Application Suite menu bar.

1. On the Catalog page, deploy and activate one or more applications.
2. On the Users page, add and manage Maximo Application Suite administrators and application users.
3. On the Configurations page, administer Maximo Application Suite configurations.
   For example, if you deployed the Maximo Manage application, you can add or update the database configuration information.

   For more information, see Configuring Maximo Application Suite.

4. If you installed Maximo Application Suite core and Maximo Manage, and you want to deploy certain applications and add-ons in Maximo Application Suite, such as Maximo Monitor, you must first install Cloud Pak for Data.
   For more information, see Installing Cloud Pak for Data on an Amazon Web Services instance of Maximo Application Suite.
5. Optional: You can change the authentication to use LDAP or any other supported authentication method.
   The default authentication uses Maximo Application Suite authentication.

   For more information, see Authentication methods.
