### 17.1.1. Web Based Monitoring

You can configure OpenAM to allow you to access a web based view of OpenAM MBeans on port 8082 where the core server runs, such as `http://openam-ter.example.com:8082/`. Either use the console, or use the ssoadm command.

    $ ssoadm
     set-attr-defs
     --servicename iPlanetAMMonitoringService
     --schematype Global
     --adminid amadmin
     --password-file /tmp/pwd.txt
     --attributevalues iplanet-am-monitoring-http-enabled=true

The default authentication file allows you to authenticate over HTTP as user `demo`, password `changeit`. The user name and password are kept in the file specified, with the password encrypted.

    $ cat openam/openam/openam_mon_auth
    demo AQICMBCKlwx6G3vzK3TYYRbtTpNYAagVIPNP

Or

    $ cat openam/openam/opensso_mon_auth
    demo AQICvSe+tXEg8TUUT8ekzHb8IRzVSvm1Lc2u

You can encrypt a new password using the ampassword command. After changing the authentication file, you must restart OpenAM for the changes to take effect.
