Chapter 4. Quick Set up for JBoss ON

JBoss ON is primarily administered through its web interface. This UI can be accessed from any web browser by connection to the server using the URL http://server-hostname:port.

By default, the JBoss ON server listens over port 7080. (A different port can be configured when the server is installed, and the port number can be changed in the server configuration.) To connect to the server, then, simply open a standard HTTP page with a URL in the format hostname:port. For example:

http://server.example.com:7080

http://server.example.com:7080

Then, log in using any valid username/password combination. The default administrative user has the name and password rhqadmin/rhqadmin. (The default username and password are defined in the JBoss ON server.) After you log in, reset the password for the rhqadmin superuser.
