On AIX, which is what we are on, the default admin after initial
installation is the 'server_console' which is essentially the ADSM prompt
that one gets at the ADSM console. There is no need for 'logging' on or
password entry. From the prompt, one would then define additional admins
with whatever privileges that one wishes them to have. Afterwards, then one
can log on to ADSM via the admin client as any of the defined admin ids. I
don't know what platform you are on, but I suspect that this is fairly
consisitent across all ADSM server platforms.
