Configuring SolarWinds SAM
Following a successful installation, the Orion web console will automatically launch in your server's default web browser.
Log in to the interface using admin
as the User name and leave the Password field empty.
Tip
Do not use the browser's back button while using the Orion web console.
Upon first log in, NSW will begin. We recommend that you complete the wizard, as it will save some time by enabling the SolarWinds SAM's "out-of-the-box" functionality.

and replacing the hostname with your SolarWinds SAM server.
