The newly created tenant will contain an administrator user that can be used to configure the tenant. The user credentials are admin / admin. When connected to the new tenant, you should change the password for the admin user, or completely delete the user if you plan to replace it with another administrator. 

To access the new tenant for license activation and user provisioning, log in with the default admin credentials by using one of the following URLs:

  • If the environment is configured to use an IP address, add the “tenant” query string parameter to it:
    http(s)://<server>/home?tenant=<tenant_name>
    For example, https://10.15.16.221/home?tenant=tenant1, where “tenant1” is the name of the newly created tenant.
    Then, click the tile on the Home page.

  • If the environment is configured to use a domain name, use the following URL:
    http(s)://<tenant_name>.<domain>/home
    Then, click the tile on the Home page.
    For example, https://tenant1.company.com/home, where “tenant1” is the name of the newly created tenant.

To activate the license for the new tenant, follow the steps described in this article: About Licenses.
