Chapter 2. Accessing the Management Console
Prerequisites
To access the Management Console, you must start JBoss Fuse and configure user credentials.
Note
If you use JBoss Fuse on OpenShift, you can skip this task and access the Management Console directly with the JBoss Fuse application URL after you deploy the JBoss Fuse cartridge. For more information about how to get started with JBoss Fuse on OpenShift, see the Cloud Computing with Fabric book for this release of JBoss Fuse.
To configure user credentials and start JBoss Fuse:
- In the command line, navigate to the directory in which you installed JBoss Fuse and run the following command:
./fuse
The Karaf console starts and shows version information, the default Management Console URL, and a list of common commands. - If no user exists for JBoss Fuse, you can create one by running the
esb:create-admin-user
command. You can also define the user name and password directly in theetc/users.propertiesfile. For more information, see the Red Hat JBoss Fuse Installation Guide.
Accessing the Management Console
To access the Management Console:
- In a Web browser, enter the URL to connect to the Management Console in the following format:
http://<host_name>:<port_number>
NoteFor a list of supported browsers, see access.redhat.com.For example, use the following default URL to connect to the Management Console locally:http://localhost:8181
NoteYou can configure the pax-web property to support HTTPS connections for a specific container.See chapter "Securing the Jetty HTTP Server" in "Security Guide" for more details. - In the login page, enter the user name and password and click .If you created or joined a fabric, the Management Console opens to the Fabric perspective. Otherwise, only the Container perspective is available. By default, the Management Console shows the Welcome page. You can choose to hide the Welcome page at the bottom of the page.
