The HPCA server uses a Console through which various administrative and configuration tasks can be performed. For more information on these tasks, see Operations and Configuration.
There are four methods by which you can launch the HPCA Console. You can:
Open a Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (minimum version 7.0) or Mozilla Firefox (minimum version 2.0) web browser on any device in your environment and go to:
http://
HPCA_host:3466/
Where HPCA_host is the name of the server on which HPCA is installed.
Each method will launch the HPCA Console, which will prompt you for login credentials. When prompted, specify your user name and password, and click Sign In.
Note: The default user name is admin
and the default password is secret
. For more information on changing the default user name and password, and adding users to the Console-access authority list, see Configuration.
Insert a smart card.
Note: Smart Card authentication is available on Enterprise Core Servers only.
Follow these steps to launch the HPCA Console using smart card:
Open a Microsoft® Internet Explorer® (minimum version 7.0) or Mozilla Firefox (minimum version 2.0) web browser on any device in your environment and go to:
https://
HPCA_host/
Where HPCA_host is the name of the server on which HPCA is installed.
Click Sign on using Smart Card.
Note: To see Sign on using Smart Card, SSL must be enabled and you must access the login page through SSL. To log in, see Smart Card Authentication.
Important Notes
For security, HPCA automatically logs out the Console user if the user remains idle for 20 minutes. The Console user must log on again to continue using the Console. To increase the inactivity time before the current user is logged out, see Increasing the Inactivity Time.
Increasing the Inactivity Time
Complete the following steps to increase the HPCA Console inactivity time:
<InstallDir>\tomcat\webapps\sessionmanager\WEB-INF
directory. sessionmanager.properties
file.
http.session.timeout.minutes
to the amount of time (in minutes) for which the Console user can remain in idle state, after which the user is automatically logged-out. By default, this value is set as 20 minutes. sessionmanager.properties
file.Restart the HPCA Tomcat service.
