How to Access the Management Console

After the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager is installed and available on your enterprise network, open a web browser and type in the IP address of the server that hosts the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager. If DNS is configured to resolve the host name, enter the host name of the server.

Note For information about installing and configuring CA Application Delivery Analysis, see the Installation Guide.

Access the management console web interface by providing the appropriate URL:

If the CA PC is

Specify this URL

Installed on the management console server

http://hostname/sa

Not installed on the management console server

The management console was designed for display in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8 or 9 and Mozilla Firefox, and requires Adobe Flash Player. Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7 are not supported. If you see a security prompt about blocked websites from Internet Explorer Enhanced Security when you first try to access the Web interface, we recommend you adjust your browser settings.

If you do not have a CA Application Delivery Analysis administrator account, contact your CA PC or CA NPC administrator. If you are logging on for the first time, you can use the predefined administrator account, admin, with the default password, admin.

On the Login page, type your user name and password. Keep in mind that login credentials are case-sensitive. As soon as you have been authenticated successfully, you are automatically redirected to the management console. An incorrect login returns you to the Login page.

For better security, we recommend changing the default passwords for the predefined user accounts. The administrator can do this by logging in and editing user accounts.
