# Configure HPE IDOL Search Optimizer

Use the following procedure to configure HPE IDOL Search Optimizer.

To configure HPE IDOL Search Optimizer

1. Run HPE IDOL Search Optimizer once without a `config.json` file in your HPE IDOL Search Optimizer home directory, so that a default file is generated.

   Note: By default, the installer stores the HPE ISO home directory in the `ProgramData` folder, which might be hidden by default in Windows.

2. Open the generated `config.json` file in a text editor and find the generated default user name and password at the top of the file (`login.defaultLogin.username` and `login.defaultLogin.password`).

3. In your web browser, go to `http://Hostname:Port`, where `Hostname` is the IP address or name of the machine on which HPE IDOL Search Optimizer is installed, and `Port` is the port that you have installed HPE IDOL Search Optimizer on (for example, `8080`).

   Note: For details of web browsers that are supported by HPE IDOL Search Optimizer, see Prerequisites.

4. Log in using the default user name and password from the configuration file.

   The Settings page opens.

5. Fill in the details of your backend HPE IDOL servers. Click Test Connection for each server to confirm that a connection can be established from the HPE IDOL Search Optimizer server.
6. Click Save Changes.

7. In the setup wizard, click Next. The User Management page opens.

8. Add your users, and then use the credentials for one of those users to log into the application.

HPE IDOL Search Optimizer is now ready for use.
