To use ECMap, you must first enter a valid user name and password in these text boxes. If an invalid entry is made, entry into ECMap is denied.
The Login window allows the Administrator to control who has access to ECMap because only the Administrator can add names and passwords to the list of authorized users. The Administrator uses the User Administration function in ECMap to enter the names and passwords of authorized users, delete the names of users who are no longer authorized to use ECMap, and change the passwords of users.
The first password that the Administrator should change is the administrative password itself. When ECMap is installed, the Administrator is set up as a user with the user name “Admin” and the default password “ecmap”. The Admin user name cannot be deleted, but the default password for the Administrator should be changed as soon as possible. This should be done for security purposes since anyone can log on as the Administrator using the default password until the administrative password is changed.
The first time you use ECMap, Admin appears in the User Name text box and the Password text box is blank.
Enter the default password, ecmap, and select OK. Passwords are case-sensitive, so you must enter ecmap in all lower-case letters. The main ECMap window displays. The Administrator should immediately change the administrative password using either the Change Password function that allows individual users to change their own passwords or the User Administration function available only to the Administrator.
Once the administrative password has been changed, the Administrator can then perform user administration activity, such as adding user names and passwords for authorized ECMap users.
