2.1 Starting the Administration Console

Conferencing provides an Administration Console based on a Web browser, to assess the status of clusters and manage system communities. The URL for the Administration Console depends on the setting of the global-config variable <portal-hname> defined at system installation time. The Administration Console can be accessed by using the following URL:

http://portal_hname/imidio/console/

After you access this page, you need to log in. When the software is installed, a default Super Administrator account is created with the screen name admin and password admin. A Super Administrator has the authority to manage all communities, while Community Administrators only have administrative authority within their specific community or communities. However, a Super Administrator can be restricted to a single community by entering a community name when logging in.
