Step
3: Create an administrator account
Lotus Foundations is managed through a web-based interface
called WebConfig. You can access WebConfig on the server at https://
server_ip_address:8043/.
To create an administrator account, perform the following steps from a
Web browser on a workstation that is connected to the same network as the
server:
1. Read
the IP address on the server console of the Lotus Foundations server. For
demonstration purposes, the IP address 192.168.0.1 is used.
2. Open
a Web browser on a workstation, and enter the following URL https://
server-ip-address:8043/.
For example: https://192.168.0.1:8043
3. Select
a default language. Read and accept the licenses on the next two screens.
The Create Administrator Account page is displayed.
Figure 11. Creating an administrator account
4. To
create an administrator account, leave the user ID as
root. Enter
a valid password, and reenter the password. Write this password down in
case you forget it.
Caution: the administrator user ID must be
root.
You can create additional administrator accounts later.
5. Enter
an Internet domain name. Any Internet domain name can be entered at this
point. The organization's real Internet domain name is required before
you install Lotus Foundations Branch Office.
6. Enter
the software activation key in the
Activation Key field. For more
information on this, consult the
Lotus
Foundations Branch Office Administration Guide.
7. Click
Save Changes. The Administrator Account Created page displays.
8. Click
Login. Use the
root user ID and password you just created
to login to WebConfig. WebConfig continues the setup and server configuration.
Entering or changing an activation key at a later date
There are two reasons why you might need to do this procedure:
- You did not have the activation key when you did the initial
installation.
- You want to change an existing activation key that is
already installed.
In either case, follow these steps:
1. Open
a Web browser on the workstation to https://
server_ip_address:8043/.
2. Enter
the
rootadministrator user ID and password.
3. Click
Software Updatein the left-side menu of WebConfig.

4. Edit
the
Foundations Registration section and enter the activation key.
