Log In to SEI for the First Time

After installation, access SEI using any supported web browser. Enter the URL of your SEI Web Server in the browser’s address bar and press Enter.

Example: http://yourserver:81
Replace 81 with your configured port number, if different.

important

Do not use localhost (for example, http://localhost:81) even when working directly on the server, as this can cause instability.

Log in for the first time​

  1. Open your web browser. Google Chrome is the recommended browser.
  2. In the address bar, enter the server URL provided during installation.
  3. On the login screen, leave the Domain name field blank.
  4. Enter ADMIN as the username and admin as the password.
    For cloud environments, use the credentials provided by your vendor, typically ADMCA.
  5. Click Log in.
note

The ADMCA user does not have access to the Data Source feature in the Administration.

Resolve Central Point access issues​

If you see the error The selected Central Point is invalid:

  1. Verify that your user account can access the Central Point folder.
  2. Ensure that the Central Point path in your web server configuration is correct.
  3. If needed, review and adjust the CentralPoint path in Web.config:
    The default location for this file is either:
    • C:\Program Files\Nectari\Nectari Server\WebServer\Web.config
    • C:\Program Files\SEI\SEI Server\WebServer\Web.config

Activate SEI License​

After your first successful login, the Activate License window appears.

  1. Enter the Serial Number (license key) provided with your installation and click Next.
    Each license key is single-use only.
  2. Read the License Agreement, select I accept the terms and conditions, and click Completed.

Once activated, SEI is ready to use. The application will be empty at first—no views, dashboards, or workbooks are available until content is imported. To add data models, cubes, and ready-to-use content, follow the Template Installation guide for your ERP.

User management​

When adding new SEI users later, you can base their profiles on existing Active Directory accounts. This makes password management simpler and leverages your organization’s current security setup.
