Logging In

Launch JasperReports Server by entering http://<hostname>:8080/jasperserver-pro in a web browser, where <hostname> is the name of the computer that hosts JasperReports Server. The Login page appears.

To log in to the server, JavaScript and cookies must be enabled in your browser.

Rhino JavaScript engine has been removed from JasperReports Server. With the removal of Rhino JS, reports created using JavaScript do not function unless you add Rhino JS back to your deployment. This can be done by stopping the web server, downloading version 1.7.14, which at the time of writing is not known to have any CVEs. This file can be replaced into the WEB-INF/lib folder, and reports that rely on JavaScript will again be functional.

Before logging in, review the information on the login page. There are links to the online help and additional resources.

You can log in as the following users:

• superuser/superuser to manage configuration and organizations .
• jasperadmin/jasperadmin to manage a single organization.
• joeuser/joeuser to see an end user's view.
• demo/demo to view the demo dashboard, if samples were installed.

For security reasons, administrators should always change the default passwords immediately after installing JasperReports Server, as described in the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide.
