Accessing the manager on an application server

Use a web browser to access the manager on an application server.

You must use a user account with a user role of admin, designer, requester, operator, or reviewer to access the manager. When you use the manager with WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition in its default configuration, you can use the following user accounts to access the manager:
User name Password User role
admin admin admin
designer designer designer
requester requester requester
operator operator operator
reviewer reviewer reviewer
To access the manager on an application server, go to one of the following locations, where hostname and port are the host name and port of the application server on which the manager is deployed. 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.

If you cannot access the manager, ensure that the following statements are true.
  • The manager is started on the application server on which the manager is deployed.
  • You can access the application server on which the manager is deployed from your computer.
  • Your web browser is supported by the manager and uses a supported version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in.
Bookmark the location of the manager for future access.
