Bootstrapping the System

Before you start using Administration Console to manage RiskMinder, perform the following mandatory steps to initialize the system:

• Change the default Master Administrator password
• Configure the Global Key label
• Specify the configuration settings for the out-of-the-box organization

Bootstrapping is a wizard-driven process that walks you through these setup tasks. Other administrative links are enabled only after you perform these tasks.

Before you proceed with Performing Bootstrapping Tasks, you must understand the related concept of Default Organization.

Default Organization

When you deploy Administration Console, an organization is created automatically. This organization is referred to as Default Organization (DEFAULTORG). As a single-organization system, the Default Organization itself can be used without creating any other organizations.
