Configure the First Administrator

After installing a single-server CA User Activity Reporting Module, you prepare for configuration by browsing to the URL of the CA User Activity Reporting Module from a remote workstation, logging on, and creating an Administrator account you can use to perform the configuration.

Note: For the purpose of this Quick Start deployment, we accept the default user store, and the default password policies. Typically, these are configured before adding the first Administrator.

To configure the first Administrator

  1. Connect to the following URL from your browser, where hostname is either the host name or IP address of the server where you installed the CA User Activity Reporting Module.
    https://<hostname>:5250/spin/calm
    
  2. If a security alert appears, do the following:
    1. Click View Certificate.
    2. Click Install Certificate, accept the defaults, and finish the import wizard.

      A security warning appears stating you are about to install a certificate claiming to represent the host name of the CA User Activity Reporting Module server.

    3. Click Yes.

      The root certificate is installed and a successful import message appears.

    4. Click OK.

      The trusted certificate dialog appears.

    5. (Optional) Click the Certification Path and verify the certificate status says this certificate is OK.
    6. Click OK, and then click Yes.

      The logon page appears.

  3. Log on with the EiamAdmin user name and the password you creating when you used to install the software. Click Log In.

    Log in as EiamAdmin when logging in for the first time.

    The application opens with only the Administrator tab and the User and Access Management subtab active.

  12. (Optional) View your login attempts as follows:
    1. Select the System Access from the query tag list.
