Use a web browser to access the connection manager user
interface.
The first time that you access the connection manager,
you must specify a database in which the connection manager can store
configuration information. The connection manager database can use
any database that is supported for Optim™ directories.
However, the connection manager database must use a different schema
from that which is used for any Optim directory.
You must create the schema for the connection manager database before
you begin. You must also obtain the following information to connect
to the connection manager database:
- Relational database system vendor and version
- Database host name or IP address, port number, database name,
and schema
- User credentials that have authority to create and modify tables
within the schema
You might also need to obtain the JDBC driver for the connection
manager database.
You must use a user account
with a user role of ocmadmin or admin to access the connection manager.
When you use the connection manager with WebSphere® Application Server Community
Edition in its default configuration, you can use the following user
accounts:
| User name |
Password |
| ocmadmin |
ocmadmin |
| admin |
admin |
To access the connection manager, go to https://hostname:port/optim/admin/,
where hostname and port are
the host name and port of the application server. If you
install the connection manager with WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition, then the default port is 8443. Your browser might
warn you of a problem with the website's security certificate. This
message is expected if you use SSL to access a web application that
uses a self-signed certificate. Choose to continue to the website. For example, if you installed the connection manager with WebSphere Application Server
Community Edition on your local computer, go to https://localhost:8443/optim/admin/.
If you cannot access the connection manager, ensure that the
following statements are true.
- The connection manager is started on the application server on
which the connection manager is deployed.
- You can access the application server on which the connection
manager is deployed from your computer.
- Your web browser is supported by the connection manager.
Bookmark the location of the connection manager for future
access.
