If you do not have this information,  contact your System or Network Administrator.

If you are using an application server, like TOMCAT, it may be necessary to add a port number (eg 8080, 8090, 8081) after mycompany.com.

Example: http://www.mycompany.com:8080/opa/admin/

Consult your Network Administrator to determine if you need to add port number.
