3.1 Launching the Web Interface

  1. (Optional) Configure PlateSpin Server and your web browser to use one of the supported international languages instead of English. See Configuring Language Settings for International Versions.

  2. Open a supported web browser and go to:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/Forge

    Replace Your_PlateSpin_Server with the DNS host name 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. See Section 4.1, Activating Your Product License.

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

    The default credentials for the Forge 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 5.0, Configuring User Authorization and Authentication.
