CA RiskMinder Administration Guide › Getting Started › Accessing the Administration Console

Accessing the Administration Console

The default Master Administrator (MA) account is used to log in to Administration Console for the first time. Use the following credentials to log in to the Console:

• User Name: masteradmin
• Password: <password set during bootstrap>

To log in to Administration Console:

1. Open a Web browser window.
2. Enter the URL to access Administration Console. The default Administration Console address is:

   http://<hostname>:CA Portal/arcotadmin/masteradminlogin.htm

   In the preceding URL:

   • Replace hostname and port respectively with the host name or the IP address of the system where you have deployed Administration Console and the port at which the Console is listening.
   • If you change the default application context (arcotadmin), then you must replace it with the new value.

   The Master Administrator Login page appears.

3. In the Password field, enter the password that you set during bootstrap, and click Log In.

   The landing page of Administration Console appears.
