I am loging into the console as cn=directory manager !!
(I suppose the console is started by the application "fedora-idm-console"
I write in the Management Console : the User ID (cn=Directory Manager) 
the password (of course) and the Administration URL : 
(http://localhost:9830 )
Is there an another way to log ?
