Accessing the connection manager

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.
Bookmark the location of the connection manager for future access.
