Installing › How to Implement the Software › Start the Web Interface

Start the Web Interface

After the installation is complete, you can start the web interface to verify that CA APM is ready to use. After you verify that the web interface starts, provide all administrators with the URL and login credentials to log in and prepare the product for users. Administrators can then set up security, configure the user interface, set up hardware reconciliation, and, if necessary, configure the product components. After the administrators prepare the product, they can provide users with the URL and login credentials. For information about administering and preparing the product for users, see the Administration Guide.

Note: Before you start the web interface, ensure that you register ASP.NET with IIS.

Start the web interface using one of the following methods:

• Open a supported web browser and enter the following URL:

  http://servername:port/itam
  

  Replace servername and port with the name of the server and the port that are hosting the CA APM web servers.

  Note: If the Internet Explorer browser security is set to high, a content warning message appears when you start the web interface. To avoid this message, add the web site to your trusted sites or lower your security settings.

  A Start menu shortcut is created on your web server that references the URL location.

• Click Start, Programs, CA, Asset Portfolio Management, Asset Portfolio Management.

To log in to CA APM, enter the following default credentials:

User Name

uapmadmin

Password

uapmadmin

Note: If you changed the password during the installation, use the password that you created.

In some situations, a browser error or a user name error appears. You can resolve these errors by following the troubleshooting instructions.
