Logging in to Black Duck

Logging in to Black Duck SCA lets you search projects that may be restricted to team members or company employees.

Note: You must have a username and password to access Black Duck. Contact your system administrator if you do not have a username. If Black Duck is configured to use LDAP, you may be able to log in to Black Duck using those credentials.

To log in to Black Duck:

Using a browser, navigate to the Black Duck URL supplied by your system administrator. Typically the URL is in the format https://<server hostname>.
Enter the username and password provided by your Black Duck administrator. Your password is case sensitive.

Note: If your administrator has enabled password requirements and your password does not meet the requirements, a dialog box appears notifying you that you must change your password. When updating your password, make sure that it meets the requirements, as listed in the dialog box. You will not be able to log in to Black Duck unless the password meets all requirements.
Click Login.

When you first log in after installing Black Duck, an empty Dashboard page appears. For information to appear in Black Duck, you need to scan your code and map your code to a project, as described in the next chapter.

By default the Dashboard page only shows the Watching and My Projects dashboards. You can also create custom dashboards so that you can quickly view the project versions or component versions that are important to you: search for projects and/or components and then save the searches. Your saved searches appear on the Dashboard page.
