# Starting and Ending an Adabas Manager Session

How you start an Adabas Manager session depends on whether you are accessing the software locally or remotely.

Note
For security reasons, your login credentials cannot be saved.

After successfully logging on, the Adabas Manager application starts and the Adabas Manager home page is displayed.

To start a local Adabas Manager session on Windows

1. From the Windows Start menu, choose All Programs > start menu group name > Administration > Adabas Manager n.n.

   Note
   n.n stands for the current version number. The start menu group name (by default, this is "Software AG") can be changed during the installation.

   The Adabas Manager login page appears in your default browser.

2. Enter your login information (local or domain user ID and password) and click the Log In button.

   After successfully logging in, the Adabas Manager application starts.

   Note
   Login information could be the domain (e.g. LDAP) User-ID and password, local Operating System User-Id, and text-file user-ID. To create a text-file user-ID, execute `text_user.bat add` from <installdir>/AdabasManager/bin and follow the prompts.

To start a local Adabas Manager session on Linux

- Execute the script amn.sh located in <installdir>/AdabasManager/bin.

To start a local or remote Adabas Manager session via a browser on Linux or Windows

1. Open a compatible internet browser such as Microsoft Edge, Firefox or Google Chrome and open the URL https://<hostname>:<port>, replacing <hostname> with the name of the host machine on which Adabas Manager is installed and <port> is the "Application port number" which can be found from the parameter APP_PORT in the file config.env in <installdir>/AdabasManager/config.

   Note
   The firewall of the remote machine on which Adabas Manager is running must be configured to allow this remote access.

   The Adabas Manager login page appears in your default browser.

2. Enter your login information (user ID and password for this machine) and click the Log In button.

   Note
   To create a text-file user-ID, execute `text_user.sh add` from <installdir>/AdabasManager/bin and follow the prompts.

   After successfully logging in, the Adabas Manager application starts.

An Adabas Manager session can be ended in a number of ways:

1. Choose Logout from the user profile on the top right corner in the Adabas Manager title bar. Logging out always terminates Adabas Manager. This is the recommended method because it allows Adabas Manager to save information and release used resources before the session terminates.

2. Alternatively, close the internet browser or close the browser tab in which Adabas Manager is running.
