Using Basic User Password

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

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

   http://<hostname>:<app_server_port>/arcotadmin/adminlogin.htm

   Replace hostname and app_server_port in the preceding URL respectively with the host name or the IP address of the system where you have deployed the Administration Console and the port at which the Console is listening.

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

   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. 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 CA, then enter defaultorg, which is the (default) unique ID of this organization. Do not specify CA here.

4. Click Log In.

   The Login page appears.

   Note: This page does not show the Forgot Password? link that is available when you log in by using WebFort Password credentials.

5. Specify the user ID in User Name field, enter the corresponding password 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 are redirected to the login page.

7. Specify the Password again and click Log In.

   The landing page of the Administration Console appears.
