The first time that you log into the Amlen WebUI, you are prompted
to submit information about the first Eclipse Amlen server that you
would like to manage.
You can use the Get started with IBM Watson IoT Platform - Message Gateway Web
UI page to enter configuration details for connecting to the Eclipse Amlen server that you want to manage. If you are the
first user to start the Web UI application, this page appears after you accept the license by using
a REST Administration API. Otherwise, this page appears the first time a new Web UI administrator
logs in. For more information about accepting the license by using a REST Administration API, see
Configuring the licensed usage for Eclipse Amlen and accepting the license by using REST Administration APIs.
If you want to manage more than one Eclipse Amlen server, you
can configure the Amlen WebUI to manage additional Eclipse Amlen servers by using the Server
ID menu after you log into the Web UI.
-
Log on to the Amlen WebUI page.
If this is the first time that the Amlen WebUI
application has been used, complete the following steps:
-
Log in by using the default user ID, admin and
default password, admin.
-
On the Get started with IBM Watson IoT Platform - Message Gateway Web UI
page, specify the connection configuration details for the first server that you want to manage. If
your web browser application, the Eclipse Amlen server that
you want to manage, and the Eclipse Amlen Web UI are running
on your local host, and the Eclipse Amlen administration
endpoint is listening on port 9089, you can go to step 3.
-
Enter the administration address. This value is the IP address or hostname that the
administration endpoint of the Eclipse Amlen server is
listening on.
-
Enter the administration port. This value is the port that the administration endpoint of the
Eclipse Amlen server is listening on.
The number must be in the range 1 to 65535 inclusive.
-
Optional. Select Send Web UI credentials. If you select this option, the
Amlen WebUI sends the Eclipse Amlen user ID and password to the administration
endpoint.
-
Optional. Test your connection by clicking Test
Connection.
Note:
The Eclipse Amlen server that you want to manage must be running for the test connection to succeed.
If the administration endpoint for the
Eclipse Amlen server is using the default configuration, you might need to allow the administration endpoint certificate in order to successfully complete the test connection. To allow the administration endpoint certificate, choose one of the following options:
- If you are using Firefox or Chrome, expand the error box that appears on screen and click the Click here link. A new tab opens and prompts you to allow the certificate. After you allow the certificate, return to the Amlen WebUI tab and click the Test Connection button again. The connection should succeed.
- If you are using Internet Explorer, accept the prompts to allow the certificate. The connection should succeed.
If the test connection fails, check that the
Eclipse Amlen server is running and that the server host can be reached from the host where the Web UI is running.
-
Save your server configuration by clicking Save and
Manage. You must complete this step to access the Amlen WebUI
function.
A message is displayed to confirm that the server is saved
successfully.
-
Click Close.
The address and port of the Eclipse Amlen server
that you saved appears next to the Server menu in the Amlen WebUI.
You can now start managing and monitoring this Eclipse Amlen server.
Use the Amlen WebUI to
begin configuring and monitoring the Eclipse Amlen server that
you specified.
