Preliminary information
To use the Application Center, configure security settings, start the web application server where IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation is installed, start the Application Center console, and log in.
When we install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation, the Application Center is automatically installed in the specified application server.
If we install the Application Center in WAS Liberty profile, the server is created and located in installation-directory/server.
After the installation is complete, configure the security settings for the applications. See Configure the Application Center after installation or, if you are using LDAP authentication, Manage users with LDAP.
The following example shows how to start the server and then the Application Center console on Liberty profile.
We can start the Liberty server using the server command located in the directory installation-directory/server/wlp/bin.
To start the server, use the command:
server start worklightServer
When the server is running, we can start the Application Center console by entering this address in the browser:
http://localhost:9080/appcenterconsole/
We are requested to log in. By default, the Application Center installed on Apache Tomcat or WebSphere Liberty Profile has two users defined for this installation:
- demo with password demo
- appcenteradmin with password admin
To start using the Application Center console, refer to The Application Center console.
