Setting Up CA GMI › Start and Log In to the Windows Client

Start and Log In to the Windows Client

If you want to use the Windows Client for your CA GMI session then you must start it.

By default, when you start the Windows Client, you automatically log in as the ADMIN user (the default administrator), no Windows Client Login dialog appears, and the Windows Client Main Window appears. However, if this default was changed to require a specific user ID and password, the Windows Client Login dialog appears when you start the Windows Client and you must provide a valid user ID and password.

Note: For more information about creating and maintaining Windows Client logins, see the section User Manager in the CA Vantage SRM Windows Client Guide.
