A server administrator uses a web browser to connect to a running Web
Console Server. You will see how the Web Console interface works, how you manage Corticon
Servers in a distributed architecture, and how you manage and monitor the Decision Services
that run on those servers.
Note:If you are getting
started with the Corticon Web Console - You need to access a running
network-accessible Tomcat 9 that has the Web Console component. See Installing Corticon Web Console for
installation information.
To connect to a Web Console Server:
On any device, in a supported browser, enter the hostname where Web
Console is running followed by the port value where it is listening, and then /corticon. For example:
http://remotehost:8080/corticon
When you are on the machine that hosts the Web Console installation,
launch the application server's startup script. To follow the example in the
installation guide, navigate
to:
run
startup.bat, and then, in a browser, connect to
http://localhost:8080/corticon.
Logging in to the Web Console
Enter your user credentials in the Web Console login page. When you start
using the Web Console, the one pre-defined user is the administrative user, admin, with the default password admin. If you are the administrator, you should change the default password
soon after you log in. Only the admin user can add new
users. All users have rights to deploy and manage Decision Services. If your role is as a
user, obtain your user credentials from your Web Console administrator.
