Quick reference to user IDs, passwords, and Web addresses

Overview

Administration in the WebSphere Commerce environment requires a variety of user IDs. These user IDs along with their requisite authorities are described in the following list. For the WebSphere Commerce user IDs, the default passwords are identified.

Most components in WebSphere Commerce utilize user IDs and passwords that are validated by the operating system.

Configuration Manager user ID

The Configuration Manager tool's graphical interface allows you to modify the way WebSphere Commerce is configured. The initial Configuration Manager user ID and password are configadmin and webibm. You are prompted to change these values the first time you log on to Configuration Manager.

You can access Configuration Manager from the WebSphere Commerce machine, or any machine on the same network as WebSphere Commerce.

IBM HTTP Server User ID

If you are using IBM HTTP Server, you can access the Web server home page by opening the Web browser and typing the following Web address:

http://host

If you have customized the Web server, you may be required to type the name of the Web server's front page after the host name.

WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator

The Site Administrator user ID and password apply to the following WebSphere Commerce tools:

• WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

  To access the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator from a remote machine running a Windows operating system, open the Internet Explorer Web browser, and type the following Web address:

  https://host:8000/accelerator

• Administration Console.

  To access the Administration Console from a remote machine running a Windows operating system, open the Internet Explorer Web browser, and type the following Web address:

  https://host:8002/adminconsole

• Organization Administration Console.

  To access the Organization Administration Console from a remote machine running a Windows operating system, open the Internet Explorer Web browser, and type the following Web address:

  https://host:8004/orgadminconsole

Enter the Site Administrator user ID and password that you entered when you created the WCS instance.

Note: The Site Administrator user ID should never be removed, and should always have instance administrator authority. WebSphere Commerce requires that the user ID and password adhere to the following rules:

• The password must be at least 8 characters in length.

• The password must include at least 1 numeric digit.

• The password does not contain more than 4 occurrences of a character.

• The password does not repeat the same character more than 3 times.

WebSphere Commerce Payments Administrator

When you install WebSphere Commerce Payments, the WebSphere Commerce Site Administrator ID is automatically assigned the Payments Administrator role. Switch the Payments Realm Class to WCSRealm if it has not already been done.

The Payments Administrator role enables a user ID to control and administer WebSphere Commerce Payments.
