2.1 Launching the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface

To use the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface and integrated help in one of the supported languages, see Configuring Language Settings for International Versions of PlateSpin Forge.

To launching the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface:

  1. Open a supported web browser and go to:

    https://<hostname | IP_address>/Forge

    Replace <hostname | IP_address> with the DNS hostname or the IP address of your Forge VM.

    If SSL is not enabled, use http in the URL.

    The first time you log into PlateSpin Forge, the browser redirects to the License Activation page.

  2. Log in using the local Administrator user credentials for the Forge VM.

    The default credentials for the Forge Management VM are user name Administrator and password Password1. To modify the Administrator user password, you can log in remotely to the VM’s Windows desktop, and use Windows management tools to set a new password.

    For information about setting up additional users for PlateSpin, see Section 2.3, Configuring User Authorization and Authentication.
