3.1 Accessing the Administration Console

After you properly initialize the appliance using the information in Section 2.7, Initializing the Appliance, the browser automatically redirects you to the administration console at https://appliance_dns_name/appliance/index.html. If the initialization does not automatically redirect you, open the page manually to complete the appliance configuration.

To access the administration console:

  1. In a supported browser, enter https://appliance_dns_name/appliance/index.html.

  2. Log in as the administrator of the appliance.

    These credentials are the cluster administrator user name specified during the initialization process and its identity source user password.

  3. The first time you log in, the appliance displays the Admin page and might display user count activity on the Users bar as users in the search contexts from the identity source are imported and activated. Ensure that this process completes before you configure any application connectors.

Icons at the top of the Admin page allow you to access the other administration pages. If your session times out or you log out, the next time you log in to the appliance, CloudAccess displays the page that you last accessed.

Admin sessions time out by default after 10 minutes. This setting is not currently configurable, but you can adjust the timeout setting for user sessions. For more information, see Section 9.2, Configuring Session Timeouts.

For a list of the different administration pages, see Section 3.2, Getting Started.
