5.2 Accessing module web applications

After LiveCycle is deployed, you can access the web applications that are associated with the following modules:

  • Reader Extensions

  • Adobe® LiveCycle® Workspace 10

  • Content Services

  • Adobe® LiveCycle® Rights Management 10

After accessing the web applications by using the default administrator permissions to ensure that they are accessible, you can create additional users and roles so that others can log in and use the applications. (See Administration Help.)

    5.2.1 Access the Reader Extensions web application

    Note: You must apply a Reader Extensions credential and apply the user roles for a new user. (See “Configuring credentials for use with Reader Extensions” in LiveCycle Administration Help.)

    1. Open a web browser and enter this URL:

      http://[hostname]:[port]/ReaderExtensions

    2. Log in using the user name and password for LiveCycle.

      Note: You must have administrator or superuser privileges to log in. To allow other users to access the Reader Extensions web application, you must create the users in User Management and grant them the Reader Extensions Web Application role.

    5.2.2 Access Workspace

    1. Open a web browser and enter this URL:

      http://[hostname]:[port]/workspace

    2. Log in using the user name and password for LiveCycle.

    5.2.3 Access the Content Services web application

    Note: You must apply the Contentspace Administrator or Contentspace User roles for a new user to login to this web application. To do this, you must create the users in User Management and grant them the appropriate role.

    1. Open a web browser and enter this URL:

      http://[hostname]:[port]/contentspace

    2. Log in using the user name and password for LiveCycle.

    5.2.4 Access Rights Management

    You must create a user with the Rights Management End User role in User Management and log in to the Rights Management administrator or end-user applications by using the login information that is associated with that user.

    Note: The default administrator user cannot access the Rights Management end-user web application but you can add the appropriate role to its profile. You can create a new user or modify an existing user through Administration Console.

    Repackaging the client application JAR files when upgrading to LiveCycle

    In order to run LiveCycle ES Update 1 Java client applications after upgrade, you must replace the existing adobe-rightsmanagement-client.jar and adobe-livecycle-client.jar files with the LiveCycle ES3 version and recompile your applications.

    Note: Failure to update your client applications will result in the following exception:
    com.adobe.edc.common.dto.AuditSpec; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -6839645748622739902, local class serialVersionUID = -7778215071249017043

    Access the Rights Management end-user web application

     Open a web browser and enter this URL:
    http://[hostname]:[port]/edc/Login.do

    Access the Rights Management administration web application

    1. Open a web browser and enter this URL:

      http://[hostname]:[port]/adminui

    2. Click Services > LiveCycle Rights Management ES3.

      For information about setting up users and roles, see Administration Help.

    Assign the Rights Management End User role

    1. Log in to Administration Console. (See 5.1.6.1 Accessing Administration Console.)

    2. Click Settings > User Management > Users and Groups.

    3. In the Find box, type all and, in the In list, select Groups.

    4. Click Find and, for the required domains, click All Principals in the list that appears.

    5. Click the Role Assignments tab and click Find Roles.

    6. In the list of roles, select the check box next to Rights Management End User.

    7. Click OK and then click Save.

    5.2.5 Accessing User Management

    By using User Management, administrators can maintain a database of all users and groups, synchronized with one or more third-party user directories. User Management provides authentication, authorization, and user management for LiveCycle modules, including Reader Extensions, Workspace, Rights Management, Adobe® LiveCycle® Process Management 10, Adobe® LiveCycle® Forms 10, PDF Generator, and Content Services.

    1. Log in to Administration Console.

    2. On the home page, click Settings > User Management.

      Note: For information about configuring users with User Management, click User Management Help in the upper-right corner of the User Management page.
