Installation guide

NOTE

Make sure that the correct JRE — the program called java — is set in the PATH

before launching the Console.

When the login screen opens, you are prompted for the username, password, and

Administration Server location. It is possible to send the Administration Server URL and port

with the start script. For example:

/usr/bin/redhat-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830

The a option is a convenience, particularly if you are logging into a Directory Server for the first

time. On subsequent logins, the URL is saved. If you do not pass the Administration Server port

number with the redhat-idm-console command, then you are prompted for it at the Console

4. Getting the Administration Server Port Number

Logging into the Console requires the Administration Server URL along with a username and

password. The Administration Server has a standard HTTP address; the default is

http://hostname:9830/. (If the Administration Server is using TLS/SSL, then the URL begins

with https://.)

To find the port number for your Administration Server run this command:

grep \^Listen /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf

Listen 0.0.0.0:port

port goes after the colon in the Administration Server URL. If the Listen were 1132, the

Administration Server URL would be http://hostname:1132.
