Get started with Identity
Get started with Identity in Self-Managed by learning how to open and log in to the Identity interface.
Identity is included in the Docker-Compose and Helm based deployment of Camunda 8 Self-Managed. With the default configuration, Identity uses an included Keycloak container/pod.
Log in to Identity
Once Identity has successfully started, you can open the Log in page and log in to Identity.

If you are running the default configuration, you can access the Identity interface via the following URLs:
- Docker-Compose:
http://localhost:8084/
- Helm: Follow your
port-forward
or Ingress configuration
Default user
In the default configuration, Identity creates a default example user during installation.
You can log in with this example user account using the following credentials:
Username: demo
Password: demo
Identity uses the users managed in Keycloak. To create a user, refer to Keycloak's documentation on creating a user for your version of Keycloak.
Identity home page
You are directed to the home page once you have successfully logged in.
