First Login
Once ProcessMaker has been successfully installed, the web browser will be redirected to the login page. The Get Started screen will appear automatically.
Read carefully the content of the Welcome to ProcessMaker window. Note that by default, the self-installer ProcessMaker package creates an administrator user with the following credentials:
Important! The “admin” user will be able to access to all the features and functionality in your ProcessMaker installation, such as: system configuration, processes creation and editing, user and group management, case management, and report and dashboard oversight among others. Thus, it is strongly recommended you take care to configure a difficult-to-guess password for this account. Take a look at this list of password dos and don’ts. You may also consider using a strong password generator like this one.
Once done, to avoid seeing the Get Started screen on every subsequent login, mark the option Don't show me again and the screen will automatically be closed.
The login screen will be displayed. Enter the name and password of the administrator user created by default and the workspace configured by default, which is named workflow. Click on Login to enter processmaker.
The login page can be configured. For more information see Login Settings.
Note: If a previous version of ProcessMaker was accessed by the web browser, it is recommended to clear the browse cache after installing ProcessMaker to clear any stored pages from previous versions of ProcessMaker.
