You can log in to the Administrative Server (which opens the Administrative Console) from the Windows Start menu or from a URL on any computer with a web browser.
First, be sure the servlet runner is started. (The servlet runner is automatically started by the MSS installer.)
Choose a login option:
Administrative Server
This HTML login directly opens the Administrative Console (in English).
Administrative Server (via Java-based links list)
This login opens the list of session links, with a link to the Administrative Console. (Java is required on the client.)
Open the login page either from the Windows Start menu or from the URL:
Start > All Programs > Host Access Management and Security Server > Administrative Server (HTML login)
http://<hostname>[:port]/mss/Admin.html
Note: If the port number is 80 (the default for HTTP), it is not needed in the URL. For example, http://myserver.mycompany.com/mss/Admin.html
In the User field, enter either admin (the default) or your site-specific user name.
Enter the administrator password specified during installation and configuration.
Note: The default password is admin. We recommend that you change this password as soon as possible. In the Administrative Console, go to the Configure Settings - General Settings panel.
Click Login. The Administrative Console opens to the Manage Sessions panel.
NOTE:If you connect using HTTPS and your server has a self-signed certificate, your browser will warn you about the certificate you created. This is expected behavior. When the warning message is displayed, accept the self-signed certificate to proceed, and the product's administrator login page will open. These warning messages will not appear after you purchase a CA-signed certificate or if you import the self-signed certificate into your browser certificate store.
To see the list of sessions, open Manage Sessions.
Continue with Configuring the Administrative Server.
Open the login page either from the Windows Start menu, or from the URL:
Start > All Programs > Host Access Management and Security Server > Administrative Server (via Java-based links list)
http://<hostname>[:port]/mss/AdminStart.html
Note: If the port number is 80 (the default for HTTP), it is not needed in the URL. For example, http://myserver.mycompany.com/mss/AdminStart.html
If prompted to run the launcher application, click Run.
Keep the box checked to log in as administrator (and use the defaults), or clear the check box and enter a site-specific User name.
Enter the administrator password specified during installation.
Note: The default password is admin. We recommend that you change this password as soon as possible. In the Administrative Console, go to Configure Settings - General Settings.
Click Submit.
The list of Session links opens. (This list will be populated with sessions you create.)
Click the Administrative Console button.
NOTE:If you connect using HTTPS and your server has a self-signed certificate, your browser will warn you about the certificate you created. This is expected behavior. When the warning message is displayed, accept the self-signed certificate to proceed, and the product's administrator login page will open. These warning messages will not appear after you purchase a CA-signed certificate or if you import the self-signed certificate into your browser certificate store.
Continue with Configure the Administrative Server.
