Install Site Administration Addon

You must install the addon to access the Site Administration Console.

Before you begin

Log out and close all the browser windows before you run the installer.

Procedure

  1. Run the siteadmin_addon Windows installer package from the Operations Hub installation DVD.
  2. Accept the license agreement and install the package.
  3. Make a note of the Site Admin user account credentials before you finish the installation.
    • In case you closed the setup wizard without making a note of the credentials (password), then reinstall the addon and note them down.
    • If you changed the password of the Site Admin user account, remember to enter the new password on the login page. Some web browsers may populate cached credentials that are outdated.
    • The Site Admin Console is used to configure MQTT settings or an email server. Do not use the console to change the password.
    • If you have configured Historian UAA as the external UAA to be used with Operations Hub, you can change the password only after performing the following steps:
      1. Access the uaa.yml file. By default, this file is located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\GE Digital\UAA
      2. Add the following line at the end of the uaa.yml file: issuer: uri: https://historian:8443/uaa. Do not enter a leading space before the line.
      3. Restart the Historian Embedded Tomcat Container service.

What to do next

Configure MQTT Broker Settings.
