Logging In

After Launching the ADempiere Application the login dialog will appear. This dialog has two tabs, a Connection Tab and a Default Tab. Before you can set the defaults, you must complete the connection by logging in. Enter you user name and password and click the green check mark ( ) called "Confirm". If you don't have a user name, you can use one of the default names as shown below. For the first time, just confirm the defaults that appear and move on to Finding Your Way Around.

Default Accounts

The following users and passwords are part of the initial seed database:

The System and SuperUser accounts are used to manage the system. For first time use, try the GardenAdmin account which will access the Garden World demonstration client.

For more information about using the Garden World client when you first log on, see the page on Garden World and its initial setup.

Connection Tab

The first field called Server shows which server and database you are connected to. The Server field highlights the status of the application server and database that will be used. It indicates this status with a red background if either:

the database service is not available or the connection information is incorrect or the connection hasn't been initiated; and
the application server is not running of the connection information is incorrect.

If only one of the the application server or database service is the cause of the problem, the icons on the right and left of the field will appear red. For example, in the image above, the database icon is red indicating, in this case, that the database connection hasn't been attempted yet. If both the application server and database connection have issues, the entire field will be red.

When launching the client, the initiation process tests the application server status but not the database connection. The Server field will show the database with a red background as in the diagram above. This is normal. Once you enter the user name and password, the connection is established. The delay in the database connection allows you to change the database during the log-in process.

Click in the Server field to go to the Connection Test Dialog to diagnose the problem causing red backgrounds in the field or to change the database parameters.

Default Accounts

The following users and passwords are part of the initial seed database:

Connection Test Dialog

When you click in the Server field in the Connection tab of the login dialog, the Connection Test dialog appears. Note that this window is intended for system administrators. As a user, you should not need to look at it.
