Log in to the CMC

To log in to the CMC

  1. Enter the name of your CMS and the port number in the System field.
  2. Enter your User Name and Password.

    If you are using LDAP or Windows NT authentication, you can log in using an account that has been mapped to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrators group.

    Note: If this is the first time an administrator from your organization is accessing the CMC, enter Administrator as the User Name. This Enterprise account by default does not have a password unless you specified one during installation.

  3. Select Enterprise in the Authentication Type list.

    Windows AD, Windows NT, and LDAP authentication also appear in the list; however, third-party user accounts and groups must be mapped to BusinessObjects Enterprise before you can use these types of authentication.

  4. Click Log On.

    The CMC Home page displays.
