You deploy SaaS Account Management as an appliance. You use the appliance management console to register or unregister the appliance with Access Manager and to maintain certain configuration settings for the appliance, such as administrative passwords for the vaadmin user and the root user, network settings, and certificate settings. You should perform these tasks only from the appliance management console because native Linux tools are not aware of the configuration requirements and dependencies of SaaS Account Management.
IMPORTANT:NetIQ delivers and updates the SaaS Account Management appliance as a single unit including the operating system, the SaaS Account Management application, and associated runtime components. NetIQ does not recommend adding any additional software components to the appliance. Any support issues that arise with customer supplied components might require removal before support issues can be resolved.
To access the appliance management console, see Accessing the Appliance Management Console. Use the following information to manage the appliance.
