Administering Maximo Application Suite on Microsoft Azure

Use the Suite administration page to configure and manage the suite-level features.

You access the Suite administration page from the admin icon in the Maximo® Application Suite menu bar.

Getting started

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 get your Maximo Application Suite environment ready:

Use the Catalog to deploy and activate one or more applications.
Use the Users page to add and manage Maximo Application Suite administrators and application users.
Use the Configurations page to administer suite-level configurations. For example, if you deployed the Maximo Manage application, you can add or update the database configuration information.
If you installed Maximo Application Suite core and Cloud Pak for Data its service Db2® Warehouse is enabled by default.
If you install Maximo Manage, and you want to deploy certain applications and add-ons in the 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 Azure instance of Maximo Application Suite.

Boot node and cluster administration

For operational reasons, you might need command-line access to the boot node, the bastion host, or the cluster nodes that are located in the Maximo Application Suite Microsoft Azure Virtual Network (VNet). For more information, see Accessing the boot node and Red Hat OpenShift cluster and boot node and bastion node.

Maximo Application Suite authentication

The default authentication uses the Maximo Application Suite authentication. However, you can change the authentication to use LDAP or any other supported authentication method.

For more information, see Authentication methods.
