Get Started with the Management Console

The MWARE IAM Management Console is a web-based user interface. It allows users to interact with a running identity server instance, without having to intervene with any underlying configuration files. The controls in the Management Console are usually self-explanatory. This page provides an overview of the user interface of the management console.

Info

You can access the management console of the WSO2 Identity server at https://<server-host>:<server-port>/carbon. When the server is running in your local setup:

https://localhost:9443/carbon

The default credentials for an administrative user is as follows. It is a must that you change this administrator credentials in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.

username = admin
password = admin

The following screen depicts the home screen of the management console.
