Default URL for the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Admin Console

Question & Answer

Question

A successful installation of WAS has completed and now the administrative console needs to be accessed. How is the admin console accessed? Access to this console may be necessary in preparing for the ITIM installation.

Answer

Assuming a successful install, using default properties, the URL for the administrative console would be:

http://yourserver:9060/ibm/console

https://yourserver:9043/ibm/console

(where 'yourserver' is the server WebSphere is installed on)

This is also assuming the 9060 and 9043 ports were not already in use. If the ports are already in use the WAS admin console port can be changed to another port by modifying the HTTPTransport_4 and HTTPTransport_5 port values in the $WAS_HOME/profiles/profileName/config/cells/cellname/virtualhosts.xml file.

You may also be able to determine the port numbers by reviewing the following:

$WAS_HOME/profiles/<profileName>/logs/AboutThisProfile.txt
