This walks through a first login as the default admin account. For what happens behind these screens, and for account states, lockouts and password resets, see Signing In.

Assumptions

• The deployment uses Stroom’s internal Identity Provider (IDP) Identity Provider (IDP) An Identity Provider is a system or service that can authenticate a user and assert their identity. Identity providers can support single sign on (SSO), which allows the user to sign in once to the Identity Provider so they are then authenticated to all systems using that IDP.Click to see more details....
• The default admin account exists with the password admin. This account is only created when stroom.security.identity.autoCreateAdminAccountOnBoot is enabled, which is not the default. See Internal IDP.
• For certificate login, the deployment has stroom.security.identity.allowCertificateAuthentication enabled.

Manual Login

Enter admin into the User Name: entry box and admin into the Password: entry box.

Press the Login button. As this is the account’s first login, you are told the password must be changed before you can continue.

Press OK , then enter the old password admin and a new password with confirmation. The new password must meet the configured password policy.

Press OK again to see the confirmation that the password has changed.

On pressing Close you are logged in as the admin user, and are presented with the Main Menu, and the Explorer and Welcome panels.

You will not be asked to change this password again until it reaches the age set by stroom.security.identity.passwordPolicy.mandatoryPasswordChangeDuration.

Certificate Login

Load your personal PKI certificate into your browser, selecting it if you hold more than one, then go to the Stroom UI URL. Provided you have an account, you are logged in without being asked for a password.
