First Login
How to log in to your rtSurvey instance for the first time after deployment.
SSL must be configured before logging in. If you access the app over HTTP, you will see a security warning and SSO will be blocked. Complete Set Up SSL first.
After SSL is active, open your browser at your HTTPS URL:
https://your-domain.com
The login screen
The login page shows:
- Username and Password fields
- A Sign In button
- A Log In with SSO button (below a divider) — for team members with SSO accounts
Default admin credentials
Enter the default credentials and click Sign In:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Username | admin |
| Password | admin |
Change your password immediately after your first login.
If you see a security warning
If you access the app over HTTP (before SSL is configured), you will see:
- A yellow warning banner at the top of the login page
- A modal when you click Sign In, warning that credentials will be sent unencrypted
Click Set up SSL to configure HTTPS, or Continue anyway to log in without SSL (not recommended).
SSO login is blocked entirely over HTTP — clicking Log In with SSO will show a notice instead of redirecting.
After logging in
Once inside, you will land on the dashboard. From here:
- Change the admin password — account settings → change password
- Create your first project — Projects → New Project
- Upload or build a form — Forms → Upload XLSForm or open Form Builder
- Add users — Users → Invite or create accounts for your team
