The recommended way to configure the connection to the database and to the shared
repository is through the Web interface of Talend Administration Center.
Procedure
-
Start the application server on which Talend Administration Center is installed.
-
Open a Web browser and type in the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/<ApplicationPath>
Replace localhost with the IP address or the
hostname of the Web server if the Web browser IP is different from the machine
you are on, and <ApplicationPath> with the Talend Administration Center Web application path.
For example,
http://localhost:8080/org.talend.administrator.
Choose a port according to your environment. The default port 8080
may clash with another application.
-
Type in the default admin
password. MySQL database connection parameters are displayed
and some automatic checks are performed on driver, URL,
connection, version information.
-
Click Set new license, then
browse your system to the License file you received from Talend and click Upload. A final License check is performed.
-
Click Go to Login.
-
On the Login page, type in the
default connection login for your first access (login:
security@company.com, password:
admin).
Those credentials correspond to the default user of the Web
application. You can create a new one using the Users
menu in Talend Administration Center, and then
delete the security@company.com user after connecting with the credential you
have created.
After the first connection, it is strongly recommended not to use the
default user account to access the application for security reasons. You can either
change the default credentials of this account
(security@company.com/admin) or create
another administrator user and remove the default account. This account has only the
role Security Administrator. Its type is No Project Access so it does not count in the
license.
If your Web access is restricted, you may need to click Validate
your license manually to perform the validation of your license key.
Follow the instructions on screen.
Results
Once the license is validated, the navigation bar of Talend Administration Center opens with all the pages
accessible for the default administrator user account.
For more information on which pages of Talend Administration Center an administrator user can access, see User roles/rights in the
Administration Center.
