Logging In and Out

The login information you require depends on the type of login setup at your company. If your company uses the standard login, you must enter your login data. If your company uses single sign-on, the login is either fully or partially automatic. This topic describes the available login options and the login dialog, including the Version Information section. The login dialog gives you direct access to our support portal and website.

Notes:

This page includes the following:

Standard Login

If you have a default setup, this is what you see on the login page:

Single Sign-On

Single sign-on allows users to login only once without having to enter login details over and over again. However, a partially automatic login allows you to change session options such as language, connection, client, or color without having to enter your user information or password.

The Automation Engine supports Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) and the Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML 2.0) protocols. For more information, see Setting up Single Sign-On.

You enable single sign-on (SSO) in the configuration.properties of your Automic Web Interface instance by setting the sso.enabled property to true.

You can also decide if you want to enable autologin to use a fully or partially automatic login:

Logging in for the First Time

If you connect for the first time and nothing is configured yet, you see the default Dashboards (HOME) page. By default, it contains four videos and different links to the product documentation which walk you through the user interface, give you navigation hints, and introduce some of the main areas of the Automic Web Interface.

This page contains elements specific to you or your team. If you have the necessary rights, you can customize it with other widgets.

For more information, see Dashboards.

It is recommended to change the password after the first login. For more information, see Changing Passwords.

Logging Out

Expand the arrow that is next to your user name and session information on the menu bar and select Logout. If you log out (or if you close the browser window) while tasks are still executing and in the activation stage, those tasks will abort. This applies to tasks that were started by the user that is currently logged in. Tasks that you have started and that are already in another stage (generation, processing or completion) continue executing. A confirmation dialog prompts you to confirm that you want to log out.

For more information about the execution stages, see:
