Log in to the SolarWinds Platform Web Console

1. Launch the SolarWinds Platform Web Console using either of the following methods:

   • Start SolarWinds Platform Web Console in your SolarWinds Orion program folder.
   • Launch a browser and enter the address of your SolarWinds Platform server using one of the following options:
     • http://ip_address, example: http://10.10.10.10
     • https://ip_address, example: https://10.10.10.10
     • http://hostname, example: http://myOrion
     • https://hostname, example: https://myOrion

   If you are not using the default port (80 for http, 443 for https), specify the port after the IP address or hostname using a colon, for example http://10.10.10.10:8787, or https://myOrion:8787.

2. Enter the user name and password, and click Login.

   

See Configure automatic login for details about login options.

1. Check that there is Admin in the Username field.
