Logging In/ Out

Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI) is a web-based application that you can log into with your login credentials on any of the supported Internet browsers. All front-end AAI features are available in one of two, integrated web-based solutions, referred to as the main AAI and AAI Web v1. Most features are in the main AAI interface, except for the series of reports called Vision reports, which run on Web v1. This topic explains everything you need to know about how to login to either interface of AAI , as well as how to log out.

This page includes the following:

Prerequisites to Login

Log into AAI prerequisites, Login credentials

Once AAI has been successfully installed and the AAI server is running, you can login to the AAI instance from any supported web browser.

Note:

For a list of supported web browsers, refer to the AAI compatibility matrix. For information, see Compatibility Information.

Before logging in for the first time, you have to get the following login details from your AAI administrator:

  • The URL to the AAI instance that your user is defined on. It has the following format:

    https://<ServerName>:<port>/aai/web/v2/login

  • Your login credentials

    Depending on your company's system administration policies, you might not need some or any of the following:

    • A user name that your administrator created for you in AAI

    • A login password that you administrator provided for you.

    • A domain onto which you can login to access your AAI instance.

    You might not need these if your system has been set up with an SSO (single sign-on) protocol, in which case once you sign onto your company's domain, the credentials will be applied to AAI.

Initial Login of the Default Admin

Admin Log into AAI,

After completing installation of an AAI instance, the initial login by an AAI administrator needs to do the following

  1. On your Internet browser, open a new window or tab, and enter the URL for the AAI instance.

    It has the following format: https://<ServerName>:<port>/aai/web/v2/login

  2. Enter the following default login credentials:

    • Username: admin

    • Password: password

    • Domain: JAWS

  3. Click the Login button. AAI opens on the System Dashboard page.

Next Step: If you are a first administrator user to log into a newly installed instance of AAI, one of your first tasks should be to change the password for the default admin user. The default password is not a secure and strong password and will allow anyone to easily guess and access all parts of AAI without restriction. For information, see Changing the Default Admin Password.

Logging In to AAI

Log into AAI,

As a any user of AAI in any role, use the following steps to login to your AAI instance.

  1. On your Internet browser, open a new window or tab.

  2. In the address bar, enter the URL that your system administrator gave you. It has the following format:

    https://<ServerName>:<port>/aai/web/v2/login

  3. To login the very first time on the instance, do the following:

    1. Enter the login credentials (Username, Password, and Domain) that your administrator gave you.

      Depending on how your AAI domains are defined, you might not see a Domain field because it is pre-populated behind the scenes.

    2. Click the Login button. AAI opens on the System Dashboard page.

    3. As a first step, you should change your password to a secure password of your choice. For information, see Changing Passwords.

  4. To login any other time, do the following:

    1. Enter your login credentials (Username, Password, and Domain) with the secure password that you created.

      Depending on how your AAI domains are defined, you might not see a Domain field because it is pre-populated behind the scenes.

    2. Click the Login button. AAI opens on the System Dashboard page, or to the last page you were on when you logged out last.

Note:

Although you can open multiple AAI pages in multiple browser tabs and windows, you can only be logged into one instance of AAI (accessed and defined by the login URL) on any particular, supported Internet browser.
If you need to run multiple users on the same instance at one time (for example, for testing or administrative reasons), you need to log into that instance in another supported browser, or in a private window.

Logging Out of AAI

You can log out from the main AAI any time. If you have AAI Web v1 open, you can also log out any time. If you have both interfaces open, regardless of where you log out, you will be logged out of both and all tabs and windows where AAI was open.
