Logging in

To log into AdminCentral, go to:

• Author instance - http://localhost:8080/magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia/admincentral
• Public instance - http://localhost:8080/magnoliaPublic/.magnolia/admincentral

The generic form of the URL is http://<domain>:[<port>]/<contextPath>/.magnolia. It may be different on your system.

Session Timeout After user Inactivity

The session timeout defines the allowed time of inactivity after which the user must login again. The session timeout for the Magnolia AdminCentral is bound to the session timeout of the underlying servlet container. 

For instance on a Tomcat server the session timeout is configured per web application in the web.xml and looks like this:

<session-config>
  <session-timeout>30</session-timeout><!-- in minutes -->
</session-config>

Demo user accounts

Superuser is the admin account that has access to everything. Accounts eric and peter are created by the travel demo. If you can't log in as eric or peter, log in as superuser and create users for your site.

Accounts are automatically locked out after N+1 failed login attempts, where N is a number configurable at Configuration > /server/security/userManagers/[admin|system]@maxFailedLoginAttempts.

Demo site

With Magnolia you typically get an example travel demo site. It showcases essential features. The demo is also available online at demo.magnolia-cms.com.

The demo is reset every 30 minutes. We recommend that you download install your own copy Magnolia so you won't lose your work.
