> ### 1.1 Logging In

> To be able to use the Administration Facility, you must have Interstage BPM Administrator permissions. For Windows® 2000 Server the default administrator role in Interstage BPM is a group called "AdminRole". Only a user who is a member of this group can log into the Administration Facility. This group must be created in your Directory Service. If you must change the default administrator role name, modify it in the Server section of the ibpm.properties file. The ibpm.properties file is located in the \bin directory of your Interstage BPM installation directory tree, typically C:\Fujitsu\InterstageBPM\bin on Windows systems and /opt/FJSVibpm/bin on Solaris. Refer to Appendix A "Error! Reference source not found." for more details. To open the Administration Facility proceed as follows:

> 1. In the Browser, open the Interstage BPM index page at the following URL:
> http://<Interstage BPM server host name>:49950/ibpm
> For example, a client on an intranet might have the following URL:
> http://myServer:49950/ibpm/

> Note: For details of the supported Browser for the Administration Facility refer to Section "Minimum Software Requirements for Clients" in the Interstage Business Process Manager Installation Guide.

> 1. Then, click Administration.
> 2. In the Login window, type your User Name and Password. Then, click Login.

> Note: For logging into the Administration Facility a user name and a password is required. Some Directory Services allows user names without a password. However, Interstage BPM users always have a user name and a password.

> The Administration Facility will display the following tabs: Process Definitions, Process Instances, Login Sessions, User Management, and Console. The Console tab transfers you to the Interstage BPM Console. Refer to the Interstage Business Process Manager User's Guide for more information about the Interstage BPM Console.

> Note: If you do not use the Interstage BPM Administration Facility for more than thirty minutes, you will be automatically logged out. Therefore, the Login screen may appear unexpectedly. If you log in again, you will return to the place where you were working before you were logged out.
> If immediately after clicking Login the Login screen appears again (without any error), there might be a problem related to browser cookies. Cookies are required so that the Administration Facility knows who is logged in as, as you browse from screen to screen. If your browser is set to "Block" cookies in the security settings, you must change the setting to "Accept" or "Prompt" for first party cookies. Also check the name of the machine that is hosting the Administration Facility; some versions of Internet Explorer will not accept cookies from machines that have an underscore character in the machine name. If so, you must change the name of the machine, or else set up and use an alias for the machine that does not have underscore characters in the name.
