Logging In

To log into JasperReports Server on any operating system

  1. Start JasperReports Server.
  2. Open a supported browser: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari.
  3. Log into JasperReports Server by entering the startup URL in your browser’s address field. The URL depends upon your application server. If you installed the default, bundled Tomcat use:

http://<hostname>:8080/``jasperserver`` ``-pro``

  • <hostname> is the name or IP address of the computer hosting JasperReports Server.

    • 8080 is the default port number for the Apache Tomcat application server. If you used a different port when installing your application server, specify its port number instead of 8080.

The login page appears.

  1. Log in using the following credentials:
User ID Password Description
superuser superuser System-wide administrator
jasperadmin jasperadmin Administrator for the default organization

If you installed the sample data, these additional sample end-users are also created. These users are non-administrative users with fewer system privileges.

User ID Password Description
joeuser joeuser Sample end-user
demo demo Sample end-user for the SuperMart Dashboard demonstration

Warning

When you complete the evaluation or testing of your JasperReports Server instance, change the administrator and superuser passwords (jasperadmin and superuser) and remove any sample end-users. Leaving the default passwords and end-users in place weakens the security of your installation.
