LOGIN DIALOG

 

Whenever you start the Management Console, the first screen displayed is the Login dialog.

 




MANAGEMENT SERVER URI

This is the address of your Management Server.

You may choose any address if you have multiple Management servers configured. All Management Servers (Primary and Hub) are synchronized, and the data returned to the console is identical.

 

Note: You can find the address by opening the ThinScale Management Configuration application installed on your Windows server machine hosting the Management Server.

 



 


 

 

An administrator account will be created during the initial setup of the first management server. The default username is Administrator, and the password can be set using the dialog box shown during installation.


Select ‘Native Login’ and use these credentials to log in. Additional local user accounts can be created once logged into the console. Active Directory groups and users can also be added to your Roles to allow domain authentication.  (See the Domain Account Roles section for more information on adding your domain users and groups)
 
 

STATUS PAGE

If clicked, it will show the ThinScale Management Server Information over a web page. 

 

The Management Server supports  Native (local accounts created within the Management Server), Domain Logins (Active Directory groups or users), and an Auth Provider.

 

Note: To use a domain account, you must first log in with the native account and then add the user within the section in the Management console. See Domain Account Role Section
