Logging on to the Crystal Management Console

There are two ways to access the CMC: type the name of the machine you are accessing directly into your browser, or select Crystal Launchpad from the program group on the Windows Start menu.

To log on to the CMC

1. Go to the following page:

   http://webserver/crystal/enterprise/admin/

   Replace webserver with the name of the web server machine that has the Web Connector component installed. If you changed this default virtual directory on the web server, you will need to type your URL accordingly.

   Tip:    On Windows, you can click Start > Programs > Crystal Enterprise > Crystal Launchpad, and then click the Crystal Management Console link.

2. When the Log On page appears, select Enterprise in the Authentication Type list.

   Windows NT and LDAP authentication also appear in the list; however, you must map your third-party user accounts and groups to Crystal Enterprise before you can use these types of authentication.

3. Type your User Name and Password.

   For this example, type Administrator as the User Name. This default Enterprise account does not have a password until you create one. For details, see Setting the Administrator password.

   If you're using LDAP or Windows NT authentication, you may log on using an account that has been mapped to the Crystal Enterprise Administrators group.

4. Click Log On.

   The CMC Home page appears.
