Logging In

Unidata system is a client-server application. The user interface is accessible via the browser.

The server address can look like localhost: <port>; <server IP address>: <port> or <domain name>.

Start page contains “Username” and “Password” fields. After you fill in the fields, click “Log in” (or press Enter).

First Login

A new account has a temporary password, which you will need to change to your own the first time you log in to the application.

After you enter your username and password, the window changes (Figure 2). Enter new password and click “Change” button. If the system has a password security policy configured, the new password will need to meet the requirements.

The action will bring up the login page again. Enter the user name and the new password.

Note

For Standart and Enterprise editions, changing the password at first login is available only after downloading the license

Changing Current Password

You can only change your password after you have logged in to the application under “Account settings”.

To change password:

  1. Log in under your account.

  2. Select “Change password” in user’ menu in upper right corner of the screen.

  3. In the window that opens, enter the current password, a new password, and repeat the new password again.

  4. Push “Change” for accept or “Cancel” for decline operation.

Login Error

If the login information is not entered correctly, a login error will be displayed on the initial page (Figure 3).

An error may mean a typo in one of the fields, a mismatched character case, or the absence of the account in the system. You need to check that the user name you entered, the selected input language, and case are correct.

Re-enter the password and try to log in again.

If you are sure that the password is correct, but you can’t log in, contact your system administrator.
