# The lmadmin User Interface

The lmadmin user interface is divided into two broad categories, Dashboard and Administration. The Dashboard shows you the current activity of the licensing manager, while the password-protected Administration area lets you see and configure the inner workings of the system.

The Control Header

No matter where you are in the lmadmin user interface pages, the Control Header is always available. The Control Header provides two buttons and two tabs, which are available at all times:

| • | Help: The Help button accesses this Help file.

| • | Sign Out: The Sign Out button returns you to the Dashboard page and signs you out as Administrator.

| • | Dashboard: The Dashboard tab returns you to the Dashboard page. If you were already signed in as an Administrator, you stay signed in.

| • | Administration: The Administration tab takes you to the five Administration pages. If you are not already signed in as an Administrator, you will see a Sign In popup window.

Sign In

| • | User Name: Enter a valid user name as provided by your License Manager. The name is one of these values:

| • | A user name that lmadmin manages and authenticates locally. This value is case-sensitive.

| • | The name of a Microsoft Windows Active Directory domain user. lmadmin contacts the Active Directory domain server to validate this name along with its password. Enter the name in the format domain\username. This value is not case-sensitive.

Note • Your user name automatically displays if you previously signed in successfully and had checked Remember me.

| • | Password: Enter the valid password associated with the user name. If necessary, ask your License Manager for help in obtaining this password.

| • | For a locally managed (that is, lmadmin-managed) user account, enter the password defined for this user in lmadmin.

| • | For a domain user, enter the password defined for this user in the Active Directory domain.

| • | Locale: Choose a locale from the drop-down list, and click Submit. The drop-down list displays only the locales that are configured. See User Interface in the Server Configuration section.

Note • This field is available only if the license management interface is configured to support multiple locales.

| • | Remember me: Select this option to have the system to remember your user name each time you return to this Sign In page in subsequent sessions. Once a user name is remembered, it can be removed only by successfully logging in with a different user name.

| • | Submit: Click to send your user name and password to the system for verification. Pressing the Enter key performs this same function.

| • | Cancel: Click to quit the Sign In process and return to the Dashboard page.
