Before you connect, obtain the URL to the instance, which includes the name of the host where Documentum Administrator is running and the port number on which Documentum Administrator listens.
By default, a new Documentum Administrator installation only contains one user account with the user name and password of the installation owner. The installation owner account has superuser privileges. We strongly recommend adding at least one administrator account with system administrator privileges. The system administrator is typically the user who is responsible for configuring repositories, additional users, servers, and services.
To log in to Documentum Administrator:
Start a web browser on a client machine.
Connect to the following URL, where host is the host where Documentum Administrator is installed and portnumber is a port number provided during application server installation:
