When you use the manager with WebSphere Application Server Community
Edition in its default configuration, the default port is 8443. Your browser might warn you of a problem with the website's
security certificate. This is expected if you use SSL to access a
web application that uses a self-signed certificate. Choose to continue
to the website.
The first time that an administrator user accesses the
manager, the administrator is prompted to select a connection manager
and a default Optim™ directory.
An administrator must select a connection manager before any other
user can use the manager.
