Access the Tosca Administration Console

The Tosca Administration Console is key to an efficient and scalable testing infrastructure. It provides an environment where your QA teams can focus on what they do best: making sure that your application is the best it can be before its release.

This topic explains how to open the console and sign in. It also includes a quick primer on what you can do with it.

Open the console

You can open the Tosca Administration Console in the following ways:

• Directly, with the URL http(s)://<Tosca Server Gateway address>:<Tosca Server Gateway port>/AdministrationConsole.

• Through the Tosca Server landing page, by selecting Administration Console.

Sign in

Tricentis User Administration manages access to the Tosca Administration Console. Only administrator users have access to the console.

To sign in, enter your Tricentis User Administration credentials.

Sign in for the first time

You've just set up Tosca Server and opened the console for the first time. In this case, sign in as the default admin user with the default admin credentials. If you don't know the default admin credentials, reach out to Tricentis Support.

The Tosca Administration Console has a Change password button. As a security-conscious admin who's signed in with default credentials, you might feel the urge to hit this button immediately. However, we recommend that you don't change the password just yet. There's no password recovery process for the default admin user. So if something happens to that password, you're locked out for good. For information on a better solution, check out either admin workflow for Tricentis User Administration.

Get to know the interface

Once you're signed in, you get access to the Projects Overview page. Let's explore what you can do with the console:

• Add, edit, or delete projects.

• Check whether projects use Tricentis File Service or Tricentis Notification Service. For the File Service, you also see whether auto-removal is turned on or off. If you want to change these configurations for a project, edit it.

• Migrate your projects for a Tosca upgrade, if necessary.

What's next

If you're just starting out, let's add your first project.

You already have projects in the Tosca Administration Console? Here's what else you can do:

• Edit projects to tailor your project to your testing needs.

• Delete projects to declutter your list once you're done with them.

• Migrate projects to save time during the upgrade process.
