4.1. Overview of the Default User Interface

The default user interface is provided as a reference implementation that demonstrates the capabilities of the REST API. You can modify certain aspects of the default user interface according to the requirements of your deployment. Note, however, that the default user interface is still evolving and is not guaranteed to be compatible with the next OpenIDM release.

To access the user interface, install and start OpenIDM, then point your browser to http://localhost:8080/openidmui.

Log in as the default administrative user (Login: openidm-admin, Password: openidm-admin) or as an existing user in the repository. The display differs, depending on the role of the user that has logged in.

For an administrative user (role openidm-admin), two tabs are displayed - Dashboard and Users. The Dashboard tab lists any tasks assigned to the user, processes available to be invoked, and any notifications for that user. The Users tab provides an interface to manage user entries (OpenIDM managed objects under managed/user).

OpenIDM UI Administrator View

The Profile link enables the user to modify elements of his user data. The Change Security Data link enables the user to change his password and, optionally, to select a new security question.

For a regular user (role openidm-authorized), the Users tab is not displayed - so regular users cannot manage user accounts, except for certain aspects of their own accounts.
