Bootstrapping the System

Before you can start using the Administration Console to manage AuthMinder, you must first perform the following mandatory steps to initialize the system:

• Change the default Master Administrator password
• Specify the Global Key label
• Specify the authentication mechanism for the Default organization

Bootstrapping is a wizard-driven process that walks you through these setup tasks. Other administrative links are enabled after you perform these tasks.

Before you proceed with Performing the Bootstrapping Tasks, you must understand the related concept of Default Organization.

Default Organization

When you deploy the Administration Console, an organization is created by default. This organization is referred to as Default Organization (DEFAULTORG). As a single-organization system, the Default Organization itself can be used without creating any new organizations.
