Configure Control Room database

Configure the Control Room to authenticate users using the database option.

To configure the Control Room when you start it for the first time, do the following:

Procedimiento

Open a browser and navigate to the Control Room URL.
The Configure Control Room settings page appears.
- Windows
  Double-click the Automation Anywhere Control Room icon on your desktop.
- Linux
  Open a browser and navigate to the host name of the server on which you installed Automation Anywhere Control Room. For example, myserver.mycompany.com
  
  Nota: Do not retain the forward slash at the end of the URL, as the validation will fail.
Enter the repository path.
- Windows
  This is the location where the uploaded automation files (such as IQ Bot s, and Bots de tarea) are stored. For example,
  
  C:\ProgramData\AutomationAnywhere\Server Files
- Linux
  /opt/automationanywhere/enterprise/appdata
Enter the access URL.
This is the URL for accessing your Control Room installation.
Click Save and continue.

Importante: The back button of your web browser is automatically disabled after you click Save and continue. This ensures that the Credential Vault Clave maestra that generates matches the repository path and Control Room access URL.
To return to the Configure Control Room settings page, press Ctrl plus F5 and restart.

The Credential Vault settings page appears.
Select from the following options:
- Express mode: The system stores your Clave maestra to connect to the Credential Vault. This option is not recommended for a production environment.
- Manual mode: You store the Clave maestra on your own, and then provide the Clave maestra when the Credential Vault is locked. Users use the Clave maestra to connect to the Credential Vault to secure their credentials and access them when creating and running Bots de tarea.
  Importante: If you lose the Clave maestra, you will not be able to access the Control Room.
Click Save and continue.

Importante: The back button of the web browser is automatically disabled after you click Save and continue. No further changes to the Control Room configuration or Credential Vault settings are allowed.
