14.0 Managing the Appliance

You can deploy Self Service Password Reset as an appliance. You use the Appliance Management Console to change 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 Console, because native Linux tools are not aware of the configuration requirements and dependencies of the Self Service Password Reset services.

To access the Appliance Management Console:

  1. In a web browser, specify the DNS name or the IP address for the appliance with the port number 9443. For example:

    https://10.10.10.1:9443
