Start the Administrative UI

To use the Administrative UI, you must login as a valid administrator.

To start the Administrative UI

1. Open your browser.
2. Type http://hostname.domain/iam/siteminder in the URL field and click Enter.
   • hostname

     Specifies the name of the machine on which the Policy Server is installed.

   • domain

     Specifies the fully qualified domain name.

   Example: http://siteminder.security.com:81/iam/siteminder

   Note: You must use a fully qualified host name in the URL. If the Web server on the host machine is not running on the standard HTTP port (81), you must append a colon and a port number to the end of the domain.

   The log in screen appears.

3. Enter a valid user name and password in the appropriate fields.
4. Click Login.

   The system displays the relevant tabs for your administrator privileges. The contents of this window differ based on the privileges of the administrator account you use to login to the UI.
