403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

To start API Portal on Windows

1. Start API Portal automatically or manually by doing one of the following:

Automatic: Start API Portal automatically using a Windows shortcut, as follows:

Start > Software AG > Start Servers > Start API Portal n.n

Manual: Start API Portal manually from the API Portal Cloud Controller (ACC), as follows:

Start > Software AG > Administration > API Portal Cloud Controller n.n

You are prompted to enter the Clous user password.

2. Enter the password. The default password is g3h31m. If you want to change the password, follow the steps given in Changing Clous Password.

3. If you are starting API Portal using the manual method, type startall in the ACC command window to start all the components.

You can configure API Portal in a way that all services start automatically. You can set the autostart mode with ACC>set autostart.mode=all to automatically start all the portal services once the Cloud Controller starts.
