Logging on to the LifeCycle Manager Client

Use this procedure to log on to the LifeCycle Manager Client.

Note:  If you installed the LifeCycle Manager Client under the Program Files folder and have User Account Control (UAC) enabled and did not change the compatibility level for the LifeCycle Manager.exe file, then you must right-click the LifeCycle Manager Client shortcut (for example, LCM-Client) and select Run as administrator from the menu.
  1. Click Start > LCM-Client shortcut

    The name of the shortcut is the name provided during the installation.

  2. Specify this information:
    User

    Specify your LifeCycle Manager user name.

    Password

    Specify the corresponding password for the user.

    Server

    Specify the IP address or domain name of the LifeCycle Manager Server.

    Port

    Specify the LifeCycle Server port number. The default value is 4060.

    Workspace

    Accept the default path to the workspace, or click Browse to select a different workspace location.

  3. Click Log On.

    The server certification information window shows the LifeCycle Manager Client connecting to a server for the first time.

  4. Click Yes to accept the certificate. A message is displayed asking you to update the client.
  5. Click Yes then click OK to restart LifeCycle Manager.
  6. Specify the required information and click Log On.

    LifeCycle Manager is now started. A dialog box is displayed if a new Java configuration file for Grid applications is available on the CCSS server.

    See information on retrieving Grid Java configuration in LifeCycle Manager Administration Guide.
