   You can install the Tosca Server in one of the following ways:

   • Via setup dialog as described in chapter "Install Tosca Server via setup dialog".

   • In unattended mode as described in chapter "Install Tosca Server in unattended mode". In this case, the setup completes the installation without user interaction.

Tricentis Tosca Server Landing Page

The installation of the Tosca Server includes the installation of the Tricentis Tosca Server Landing Page. This webpage allows you to access all server features through a single web interface.

To access the webpage , type the following URL into a browser window: http://<server address>:<port>. If you use an HTTPS binding, enter https://<server address>:<port>.

• Replace <server address> with the name of the host or the IP address of the server.

• Replace <port> with the port number you specified during the installation.

  This is only necessary if you changed the default port during the installation.

This example uses an HTTPS binding, the server address localhost and port 443. https://localhost:443
