This topic provides information on user accounts created on the successful completion of the OpenEdge Command Center server and MongoDB installation. It also describes how to access the OpenEdge Command Center dashboard and outlines the steps required to log in using the default super admin user account.

Default super admin and built-in accounts

After a successful installation of the OpenEdge Command Center server and MongoDB, the following accounts are created automatically:
  • A default super admin user account for the initial login to the OpenEdge Command Center dashboard.
  • A built-in user account for internal use in the OpenEdge Command Center database.

Default super admin account

The default super admin credentials for initial access to the OpenEdge Command Center dashboard are as follows:
  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin
Note:
  • Progress recommends that you change the default password immediately after the initial login.
  • If the server you installed is an additional server in a high availability setup, you can use the same credentials as the primary server to log in to the OpenEdge Command center dashboard.

The default email address for the super admin user is admin@oecc.com. You must change this default email address to a preferred one using the resetsuperadmin utility. Otherwise, you cannot add new user accounts. You can also use the resetsuperadmin utility to optionally update the other super admin user details, including the password, first name, and last name. For more information, see Reset super admin user details and RESETSUPERADMIN utility.

Built-in database user account

The built-in user credentials created for internal use in the OpenEdge Command Center database are as follows:
  • Username: dbadmin
  • Password: <encrypted password>

You can update the password for this built‑in OpenEdge Command Center database user account by using the resetoeccdbpassword utility. For details, see RESETOECCDBPASSWORD utility.

Log in to OpenEdge Command Center dashboard

The display of the OpenEdge Command Center login page depends on the active authentication mode:

  • In local authentication mode, the login page displays the Username and Password fields.
  • In IdP authentication mode, the login page displays the fixed Sign in with OAuth button instead of the local Username and Password fields.

Log in using local authentication

To log in to OpenEdge Command Center dashboard, perform the following steps:
  1. Enter https://host[:port] in the browser address bar.

    The host is the name of a system on which OpenEdge Command Center is installed, and the optional port number is the web server port. By default, this port is 8000. A sign-in form appears, prompting you to enter your login credentials.

    Note: If OpenEdge Command Center operates in high availability mode, and you are using a load balancer, then omit the port number when you specify the load balancer host name.
  2. If you are logging in for the first time, enter your login credentials and click Sign in.
  3. After you log in to OpenEdge Command Center for the first time, you must establish initial configurations before you can use it.

Log in using IdP authentication

To log in to OpenEdge Command Center in IdP authentication mode, perform the following steps:

  1. Enter the OpenEdge Command Center URL in the browser and click the Sign in with OAuth button.

    The log in page of your identity provider appears.

  2. If you already have an active single sign-on session with the identity provider, you are returned to OpenEdge Command Center without being prompted for credentials.
  3. If you do not have an active single sign-on session, enter your credentials on the identity provider log in page and complete the multi-factor authentication that your organization enforces.

    The identity provider returns you to the OpenEdge Command Center dashboard. Your permissions are determined by the app roles that your identity provider administrator assigns to you.

If your session expires, you are returned to the login page. When the single sign-on session of the identity provider is still valid, you sign in again without entering your credentials.

Note: In IdP authentication mode, password management, including forgotten password recovery and multi-factor authentication are handled by the identity provider.

On OpenEdge Command Center, the menu bar consists of the following functional options:

  • Dashboard
  • OECC Agents
  • OpenEdge Databases
  • PASOE Instances
  • ABL Applications
  • Users
  • OECC System Settings
  • Email Settings
Note: If OpenEdge Command Center detects no activity for more than 30 minutes, your session times out.

Upon first login to the OpenEdge Command Center console dashboard, Progress recommends changing the default admin password. For information about changing the default password after the first login, see Change or reset passwords.
