Installing the MDM AE/SE user interface

When you install InfoSphere® MDM, the MDM AE/SE user interface is installed with the InfoSphere MDM operational server by default.

Since the MDM AE/SE user interface features use the same configuration as the InfoSphere MDM operational server, the IBM® Installation Manager does not have an additional configuration panel for the MDM AE/SE user interface.

After the extraction phase of an InfoSphere MDM installation is completed by IBM Installation Manager, the MDM AE/SE user interface installation artifacts are found in the following folders:

<MDM_INSTALL_HOME>/consent/consentUI contains the user interface files
<MDM_INSTALL_HOME>/consent/consentIGC contains the other MDM AE/SE user interface files

During the configuration phase of the installation, the Configure_MasterDataManagement madconfig file configures and deploys the MDM AE/SE user interface application along with any other user interfaces selected for deployment. During the configuration process, you can check the progress of the deployment in the component status area. There is no need for you to provide any specific input to configure and deploy MDM AE/SE user interface functionality.

Note: By default, the Configure_MasterDataManagement madconfig script installs MDM AE/SE user interface, virtual MDM restful services and physical MDM restful services on the same node. These three parts must not be separated on to different nodes.

When the installation is complete, the deployed MDM AE/SE user interface appears in the list of deployed applications on WebSphere Application Server with the name mdm_consentmgmt_app-<instance ID>.

To access the MDM AE/SE user interface after it has been installed and started, navigate your web browser to the following URL:

https://<MDM host name>:<secure port>/mdm-aese

The default user name for the MDM AE/SE user interface is mdmadmin and the default password is mdmadmin.

Important: To ensure security, change the default password to a more secure one after your initial login.

Uninstalling the MDM AE/SE user interface

The MDM AE/SE user interface is uninstalled when the Uninstall_MDM madconfig target is run. There are no additional steps required to remove the MDM AE/SE user interface application.

Redeploying the MDM AE/SE user interface

If you wish to reset the MDM AE/SE user interface preferences to the default configuration, you can redeploy the application.

Run the redeploy_user_interface madconfig target
- On Microsoft Windows systems, run
```
madconfig redeploy_user_interface
```
- On Linux® or UNIX systems, run
```
./madconfig.sh redeploy_user_interface
```
When prompted, select the MDM AE/SE user interface for redeployment.

Upgrading the MDM AE/SE user interface

The MDM AE/SE user interface is upgraded along with the rest of the InfoSphere MDM product during overall product upgrades. There are no additional steps required to upgrade the MDM AE/SE user interface.
