If the default user you provided as a preference is still accurate, you can simply click OK to log in.
TIP: If you re-install PlateSpin Orchestrate and specify a new administrator username and
password, that information is not displayed in the default login unless you change the login
preferences. The information you provided in the earlier install and established as the default is
retained as a cached file in the user directory until it is overwritten with new default preferences.
3.3 Walkthrough: Creating a Resource Account
After being installed on a computing node, having its credentials defined, and associating itself with
the computing node, the Orchestrate Agent begins broadcasting the availability of its host as a
potential computing resource. Before the Orchestrate Server can allow an agent to authenticate and
establish ongoing communication, you need to create a resource account for the agent on the
Orchestrate Server. When this account is created or “registered,” the agent’s host node can be
discovered and recognized as a computing resource that can perform the jobs assigned to it.
It is also possible to create a resource account for an agent before that agent is actually installed on a
computing node.You can also create a resource account on the Orchestrate Server and have it
waiting in an offline state in anticipation of agent installation and login.
This section includes the information you need to create a resource account on the Orchestrate
Server:

Section 3.3.4, “Selecting a Resource for Manual Registration,” on page 109
When resources are created, connected to the Orchestrate Server and online, you will see some jobs
deploy and run on their own. For more information, see

Discovery Jobs,” on page 110 .
