Logging In as a Global Administrator

The first GA account must be created by the MA. To log in as a GA and proceed with further configurations, you must obtain the account details from the MA.

Before logging in, ensure that you have received your ID and the password that you will need to use to log in to your account for the first time. If for some reason you lose this password, then you must contact your administrator to regenerate it and send it to you again.

To log in to Administration Console as a GA by using the basic user name-password credentials:

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

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

    Replace hostname and port in the preceding URL 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.

    Note: It is recommended that you bookmark this URL to access Administration Console. Any GA, OA, or UA can use this URL to log in to Administration Console by using their User Name and Password.

    The Administrator Login page appears.

  3. Enter the Organization Name that you want to log in to.

    Important! Do not enter the Display Name of the organization. You must enter the unique ID of the organization (as defined by the Organization Name.) For example, if you want to log in to the Default Organization whose Display Name is Arcot Systems, then you must enter defaultorg, which is the (default) unique ID of this organization. You must not specify Arcot Systems here.

  4. Click Log In.

    The Login page appears.

  5. Specify the administrator ID in the User Name field, enter the corresponding password that you received in the Password field, and click Log In.

    If you are logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to change the password.

  6. Specify the New Password, Confirm Password, and then click Log In.

    You will be redirected to the login page.

  7. Specify the Password again and click Log In.

    The landing page of Administration Console appears.
