Log on to Admin area

This task describes how to launch OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Administration on your machine from your Web browser.

  1. Open your Web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are supported) and type the Administration URL in the following format:

    http://<Server_name>/admin

    The Administration Login window opens.

  2. In the User Name box, type your user name. Only a Site or Tenant Admin user can log on to Administration. For details, see Predefined admin roles.

    Note: The first time you log in to Administration, you must use the site administrator name that you specified during the installation of OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering. After you log in to Administration, you can define additional site administrators. For details, see Define a Site Admin user.

  3. In the Password box, type the site administrator password.

    If you are logging in using your internal OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering password, you can reset the password by clicking Forgot or want to change password (not available when using LDAP or SSO authentication).

  4. Select the language for displaying the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering user interface.

    The multilingual user interface, or MLU, provides support for multiple languages on a single instance of OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering without having to install language packs. Supported languages are English, French, Italian, Korean, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.

  5. Click the Login button. Administration opens.

Display a customized welcome screen

If you want to have a customized message appearing when end users log on to a OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering project for the first time, perform the following:

  1. Design the screen message

    On the OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering server, open the welcome.html file located in <OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Server path>\PCWEB\Welcome\, and design it to display the custom html message. The html should be text only, with no objects such as images or attachment files.

  2. Enable the screen on login

    Open the Web.config file located in <OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering Server path\PCWEB\, and set the WelcomePageFeatureEnabled parameter to true (it is set to False by default).
