The system software is now installed and configured.

Post-Installation Process:

Web over to your server. The URL will be the host name of your server (selected while doing a configure) plus a :4. For example the training server's host name is scnc.k12.mi.us so the admin-web's URL would be http://scnc.k12.mi.us:4/ . You can also use the server's IP-Address. The training server's IP-Address is 35.8.2.53 so the example URL would be http://35.8.2.53:4/ .
When prompted for a user and password enter a user name of deleteme with a password of rightnow .
Create yourself an account using the Add a user function on the Account Administration page. You should see something similar to the following to signify the user has been created:
```
        Added user evans
        
```
Add yourself to the admin group using the Change group membership function on the Account Administration page. You should see something similar to the following to signify the user has been added to the admin group:
```
        Group modified
        
```
Note: If you chose the primary group of admin for the newly created user, you do not need to add yourself to the admin group.
Fully exit all windows of your web browser, restart the web browser (neccessary to force the web browser to reauthenticate).
Web back over to your servers admin-web's URL (same URL as in step 1). Log in using your newly created user and it's password.
Delete the deleteme account using the Delete users function on the Account Administration page. You should see something similar to the following to signify the user has been deleted:
```
        User deleteme   .... Deleted
        
```
Note: all installations will start out with this well known user and password, not deleting this account will create a huge security hole! If you are unable to delete the account, do not leave the server turned on.
Select View/Change administrator mail list from the Server Administration page. Enter the name of the ID created above and select Add-User.
