Apache Felix Web Console

Apache Felix Web Console

Apache Felix Web Console is a tool for managing the Cortex OSGi framework. Felix comes bundled with Cortex out of the box. Using Felix, you can inspect your OSGi framework, start/stop bundles, view logging details, and modify run-time configuration settings.

Felix Login

  1. Navigate to http://<Your cortex server>/system/console/configMgr. If Cortex is running locally at port 8080, the URL is http://localhost:8080/cortex/system/console/configMgr
  2. Enter the User Name and Password in the Authentication dialog box:

    Felix Login

    Default credentials:
    User Name Password
    admin admin

Configuring Felix Security Credentials

To configure the username and password to log into a Felix Web Console:

  1. In your etc/ep/cortex/resources/config/permissions directory, create a file named org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager.config
  2. With a text editor, open org.apache.felix.webconsole.internal.servlet.OsgiManager.config and insert the following properties:
    password="Your_Password"
username="Your_Username"
    where Your_Username and Your_Password are your Felix Web Console log in credentials.
  3. Click Save

Your new credentials take effect immediately.

Cortex Felix Configurations

Felix Web Console edits the configurations files available on your Cortex configuration directory. If the property config file does not exist in this directory, it will not be editable through Felix. For more information on property configuration files, see Cortex Configuration Files

To modify a configuration file through Felix:
  1. Log in to Felix.
  2. In the menu bar, select OSGi and then click Configuration.
  3. Click the property, modify it as required, and click Save to write the update value(s) to the associated property file.
