Once you have the Apache Geronimo server started (see Tools and commands) you can access the Administration Console by pointing your browser to the following URL:
The Administration Console log in page is depicted in the following figure.
Log in by specifying system as the username and manager as the password. Once you are logged in you will be redirected to the console's welcome page. The console has two main areas, a navigation panel on the left and a main content area on the right.
The navigation panel on the left provides easy access to the individual tasks, it is always present and allows easy transition from task to task. The main content area on the right is where the real work happens, this area will change as you select the different tasks in the navigation panel on the left. Each view contains one or more portlets that typically include a link for help in the header, see the following figure as an example.
