Logging in to the IBM WebSphere Application Server administrative console

Because IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server server-side processes run on WebSphere® Application Server, you do certain administrative tasks with the application server. You administer IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment by using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile does not have an administrative console.

Before you begin

To perform various tasks in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, you must have sufficient authority. The authority level that you require differs from task to task.

Procedure

  1. Open a Web browser, and navigate to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
    The URL is in the following form:

    https://hostname:port/ibm/console

    Specify hostname and port in the following manner:
    • If WebSphere Application Server clustering is set up for your services tier configuration, specify the host name (or IP address) and port of the computer that hosts the Deployment Manager. The default port number is 9043.
    • If clustering is not set up, specify the host name or IP address of the computer where WebSphere Application Server is installed. Specify the port number that is assigned to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console. The default port number is 9043.
  2. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
