Access the User Interface

Access the user interface to discover and provision systems, to deploy software applications, to create policy, to schedule jobs, and so on. The Start menu shortcuts are only available on the CA Server Automation server. Access the server directly and use the Start menu to access product features such as the user interface and CLI command window. Users that access the interface from a separate server must enter the URL in a web browser.

To access the user interface

1. Select Start, Programs, CA, CA Server Automation, Launch CA Server Automation on the CA Server Automation server.

   The CA Server Automation login page appears at the following URL:

   https://servername:port
   

   servername

   Identifies the server where the CA Server Automation User Interface is installed.

   port

   Identifies the Apache Tomcat Server port on which the server is listening.

   Default: 8443

   Note: At logon, if you receive a security certificate request, bypass it and continue. To eliminate security certificate messages, you can acquire a certificate from the vendor of your choice and apply it to the server. For information about installing security certificates, see the Apache Tomcat website.

2. Enter your login credentials and click Log In.

   The user interface appears with the Dashboard displayed by default.
