- [fleXive] administration
Provided that you have a working
[fleXive] installation, you
start the [fleXive] administration GUI by starting your chosen application server.
You can access the administration GUI by opening your web browser
and entering the address
of the administration GUI startpage. By default the address is
http://localhost:8080/flexive/adm/main.jsf
where
localhost
can be replaced by the IP address of the application server.
The port (
8080
in the example) depends on your
Application Servers settings (8080 is the default for JBoss).
After a few moments, you
will reach the login page.
If you want to work with the administration
GUI as supervisor (a role that is allowed to do
everything
without any security limitations), the default username to
choose is
supervisor
with its default password
supervisor.
Caution
Once you have logged in as supervisor you should modify the default supervisor password via account administration or via user preferences.
Note
When the administration GUI is started for the first time and a user successfully logs in, the execution of run-once scripts is automatically triggered which may take a few seconds. (Simply wait until script execution has completed and press the "Continue" button. The run-once scripts are used to initialize [fleXive]).
The administration GUI consists of four areas:
-
(1) The currently selected administration GUI section: The currently active GUI section is displayed on top, in this case the Content Tree.
