2 Configure the WebSDM Application

Chapter 2 describes WebSDM configuration.

2.1 Prerequisites

Before you access the WebSDM application and set site options for your organization, at least one client computer must be set up. See the instructions in the WebSDM_Client_ Installation_Instructions.pdf file supplied on the product ZIP file from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com).

2.2 Setting WebSDM Site Options

Perform the following steps to prepare WebSDM for use by others at your site.

  1. Open Internet Explorer. If you made WebSDM the default application for IIS, enter

    http://<server name>

    Otherwise, navigate to:

    http://<server name>/<instance>


    Note:

    If your server is configured to require SSL connections, use https:// instead of http://.

    The WebSDM Login page appears.

  2. Log into WebSDM using the default administrative account:

    Username: admin

    Password: <app_admin_pass_default>

    where <app_admin_pass_default> is the password provided by Oracle.

    You are prompted to change the password for the admin account.

  3. Change the password for the admin account to the value of <app_admin_pass>.

  4. After changing the password, log in again to the admin account, using the new password. The WebSDM home page appears.


    Note:

    The username admin is predefined with maximum privileges in WebSDM, and has the special status Superuser. Log into WebSDM with this username in subsequent steps that reference a Superuser.
