4.1.2 Using the Administrative Server Java-based login

  1. 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

  2. If prompted to run the launcher application, click Run.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 MSS Administrative Console, go to Configure Settings - General Security.

  5. Click Submit.

    The list of Session links opens. (This list will be populated with sessions you create.)

  6. 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.

  7. Continue with Configure the Administrative Server.
