    IMPORTANT:

    Unified Login credentials for Administrative Access from SSMC 3.6 onwards

    From HPE SSMC 3.6 release onwards, the web administrator account is merged with the appliance administrator account. As a result, there is a single locally defined application administrator account for all of SSMC.

    If you are upgrading from a version prior to HPE SSMC 3.6 release, then the web administrator credentials, if defined already, expires and you have to use the ssmcadmin (same password that you use for appliance access) to log in to the web GUI as well.

    This single local account (ssmcadmin) remains as the only emergency account for all of SSMC. The administrator retains access to the web administrator console session as long as that authenticated web session is active.

    From HPE SSMC 3.6 release onwards, administrators can reset password using the Forgot Password link available on the web login page. The TUI menu option to clear admin credentials is unavailable.

  2. Enter the SSMC administrator user name and password.
  3. Click Login.

    • The Administrator Console displays in a new browser window.

    • A warning is displayed on your browser that pop-up windows from the host (SSMC server) are not allowed. This warning is displayed when you attempt to display the Administrator Console for the first time. In most cases, you can click the warning icon to enable pop-up windows.
