Logging in to Control-M

This procedure describes how to log in to Control-M.

NOTE: If you cannot log in, your SSL configuration might not not have a trusted SSL certificate. For more information, contact your Control-M Administrator.

To log in:

1. From your desktop, select the Control-M icon.
2. Set the Server and Environment fields, as described in Login Profile selection parameters.
3. Type your user name and password.

   NOTE:

   • If the Local User checkbox appears and is selected, you can log in without typing a username and password. If you want to log in as a different user, uncheck the checkbox and type a different username and password.
   • If you are connecting to an environment that is configured with IdP, the User Name and Password fields are disabled. If you select the Emergency User checkbox, the User Name and Password fields are enabled and you can log in as a local Control-M/EM user.
4. Click Log In.

   NOTE:

   • If the Change Password field appears, your password is about to expire. Type your new password, and then confirm it.
   • If you are connecting to an environment that is configured with IdP, a login browser window appears. Type your username and password and click Log In.

   You are now logged in to the Control-M client. You can define jobs as described in Job definition.
