# How Do I: Administer WebLogic Server Through the Administration Console?

In some cases you may need to configure WebLogic Server while you are building or testing your application. For example, if you are connecting to a database, you may need to configure the server to add a new connection pool and data source. You can use the WebLogic Server administration console to administer WebLogic Server.

To Launch the WebLogic Server Administration Console

1. Make sure that WebLogic Server is running.
2. If you are building a web service against your development server, navigate to http://localhost:7001/console/ in your web browser. If you are building a web service against a remote server, use the remote server's name.
3. Enter your user name and password. If you are using WebLogic Workshop's Platform, Workshop, or Integration domain servers, sign in using weblogic for both the username and password.

   Note: To find out which WebLogic server you are using, right-click the top-level folder in the Application tab of the WebLogic Workshop and select properties, then select WebLogic Server in the left-hand pane. In the pane on the right-hand side you can change various server settings including the username and password.
