To connect to Enterprise Server Common Web Administration (ESCWA)

  1. In the Server Explorer view, click Create a new connection to an existing Enterprise Server Common Web Administration instance (Create a new connection...), or right-click and select New > Enterprise Server Common Web Administration Connection.

    The New Enterprise Server Common Web Administration Connection dialog box is displayed.

  2. In the Name field, enter a name for the ESCWA connection.
  3. In the Server address field, enter the hostname or IP address (IPv4 format) of the server.
  4. In the Server port field, enter the port number to connect to.
  5. If the server connection is TLS-enabled, select TLS Enabled, and then click Browse and select the appropriate certificate.
    Note: If TLS Enabled is selected, but you do not specify a certificate, the default Java keystore is searched for a valid one.
  6. Click Finish.

    A connection attempt is made, during which the ESCWA sign-on dialog box is displayed.

  7. Enter the required credentials to complete the connection. (See Getting Started with Default Enterprise Server Security to obtain the initial credentials.)

    The new ESCWA node is displayed at the top level, in the Server Explorer.
