Stroom UI Login - user logged in

We have now successfully logged on as the admin user.

The next time you login with this account, you will not be prompted to change the password until the password expiry period has been met.

PKI Certificate Login

To login using a PKI Certificate, a user should have their Personal PKI certificate loaded in the browser (and selected if you have multiple certificates) and the user just needs to go to the Stroom UI URL, and providing you have an account, you will be automatically logged in.
