1. Gaining Access

By default, there are two accounts created preinstalled with the software.

Admin Account - intended for application management. It's recommended to change the password for this account via the admin site (under help/admin) once the application is deployed.

Username: admin   Password: proteomicsdatamanager

Generic Account - standard user account, intended for database searching. Unless there are security concerns, this account can be left as is.

Username: search_worker   Password: searchadmin

2. Access the app

there are two ways to access the application, It can be accessed on the device that it was installed on or it can be accessed over the internet.

Users can access locally (on the same installed system) by typing "localhost" into your browser's address bar. A login screen should appear, then you can use the above default admin account or create a new account to access the application.

  • Accessing the application through the network Instead of putting the localhost in the browser's address bar, you need to put the IP address of the server (where the application is installed. Find the IP address of a PC through, Windows IP address, Linux IP address, Mac IP address
