Logging Into My webMethods
My webMethods has a user interface that you access via a web browser.
Important:
Because My webMethods uses JavaScript and cookies, you must ensure that your web browser is set up to allow cookies and allow JavaScript to execute.
*To log into My webMethods
1. Access the My webMethods Login page by entering a URL in a web browser:
http://host:port
where:
*host is the host name of the machine on which My webMethods Server is installed.
*port is the port on which My webMethods Server listens for incoming requests. The default port for My webMethods is 8585.
For example, if the host name is rubicon.company.com and it uses the default port (i.e., 8585), enter the following URL:
http://rubicon.company.com:8585
2. On the Login page, type your My webMethods user name and password. The user name is case insensitive.
Note:
When logging in, the value you specify in the user name is case insensitive. However, after logging in, My webMethods uses the case of the user name that is defined in your user account. For example, if the user account is defined as “Administrator”, you can log in using “administrator”. When My webMethods needs to use the user name, for example, for HTTP authentication, it will use the version defined in the user account, which is “Administrator”.
Note:
For instructions about how to change your My webMethods password, see Changing Your Password.
3. Click Log In.
The first time you log in, My webMethods displays the Welcome workspace. On subsequent logins, the page My webMethods displays depends on your user preferences. For more information, see My webMethods User Preferences and Setting Your User Preferences.
My webMethods provides an extremely flexible framework for granting or restricting user access to virtually every aspect of the My webMethods interface. Administrators assign permissions known as access privileges and functional privileges.
*Access privileges define the application pages you can display. If this guide lists pages and/or menu items that you cannot access, it is likely because you do not have the access privileges to view the page.
*Functional privileges define the actions you can perform in My webMethods. If this guide lists user interface controls (for example, buttons) that you do not see, it is likely because you do not have the functional privileges to perform the actions associated with the user interface controls.
If you have any questions about your access and functional privileges, talk to your My webMethods administrator.
