Starting Deployment Manager
When you start Deployment Manager, you need to know this information about the TDV instance connection information.
Deployment Manager runs on the browsers supported by TDV as listed in the TDV Installation and Upgrade Guide.
The TDV and Business Directory servers require a secure connection. So when you first connect a browser to any TDV web-based application, you might get a warning about connecting to an untrusted site.
Depending on your browser:
*You might be asked to allow the connection process to continue.
*You might want to configure it to trust the site so that warning messages no longer appear. For some site configurations this might require configuration of SSL connections for your entire TDV environment.
To start Deployment Manager
1. Start TDV, if necessary.
2. Use one of these methods to start Deployment Manager:
— In Studio, select Launch Deployment Manager (Web) from the Administration menu.
— Use a supported browser to access a URL similar to one of the following.
http://<cishostname>:<portnumber>/deploy/
For example:
http://localhost:9400/deploy
The port you specify when using http: is automatically redirected to a secure port by adding 2 to the port number. So, you could directly type a secure URL as in this example for port 9400:
https://localhost:9402/deploy
3. Enter your user credentials and information for the TDV server to which you are connecting. For example:
Field | Notes | Example Value |
domain | “composite” is the default domain. Click this value to change it to another domain. | composite |
username | Deployment Manager users must be user 'admin' or members of the 'admin' group.
Note: All users share access to the same defined sites, plans, and so on in this version of Deployment Manager. | admin |
password | Click the default value and enter a password. | @#$%!-# |
4. Click Login.
