Login

Users need to login to the MIKE Workbench in order to work with the Workbench functionality and data. The login form appears when the MIKE Workbench opens.

Note

Note: If this is your first time using the MIKE Workbench and you have not set up any users, you can log in as the default administrative user.
The default username is admin and the password is dssadmin.
Remember to change password of the admin user.

Login parameters consist of the following:

  • Connection - which is an alias for various database parameters.
    To define connections, click the Setup... button (see Manage server connections).
  • Username and password.
  • The name of the workspace within the server connection.

Select Always use the same username and password to have the username and password field pre-filled when starting the Workbench up. This is convenient if you always use the same username and password.

Select Always login with the above settings to perform an automatic login with the entered parameters. This is convenient if you always log in to the same workspace with the same username and password.

Configurations made, are saved into user.config files in the DHI user folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\DHI\.
