Accessing the Express Server Manager

By default, you can access the Express Server Manager via HTTPS and HTTP. Both are protocols for communication over a network, however, HTTPS adds encryption for an increased layer of security. Use HTTPS whenever possible.

1. Open a web browser.

2. Navigate to one of the following URLs:

   • For HTTPS:

     https://<server name>:<https port>/ExpressServerAdmin

   • For HTTP:

     http://<server name>:<http port>/ExpressServerAdmin

   The port number is configured during installation. By default, the HTTPS port is 8443 and the HTTP port is 8080.

3. Enter the user name and password and click Login.

   By default the username is admin and the password is ChangeMe.

NOTE: If you access Express Server Manager from the same machine where you installed Express Server, you can use localhost as the server name. If you cannot access Express Server Manager with the server name, or if you cannot access the Express Server Manager from another machine, see Configuring the Firewall.
