To have Smarts automatically pass the values of broker name/port, domain name, user name and password to the Smarts Web Console, do the following:

1. Open the webconsole.properties file for editing. This file is found here:
   
   <BaseDir>/SAM/smarts/tomcat/webapps/webconsole/webconsole.properties
   
    
2. Add and change the following values as required:
   
   smarts.remote.broker
   com.smarts.autoAttachDM
   com.smarts.userid
   com.smarts.password
   
   

   For example:

   smarts.remote.broker=192.168.100.100:1107
   com.smarts.autoAttachDM=SMARTS-AP
   com.smarts.userid=operator
   com.smarts.password=xyz123
   
   
3. Restart the Smarts Servlet Engine service (ic-business-dashboard).
4. Clear all client Web browser caches and close all Web browser sessions.
5. Open the client Web browser and navigate to the Web Console page here:
