17.0 Verifying the Installation

You can determine whether the installation is successful by performing either of the following:

  • Verify the Sentinel version:

    /etc/init.d/sentinel version

  • Verify whether the Sentinel services are up and running and functioning in FIPS or Non-FIPS mode:

    /etc/init.d/sentinel status

  • Verify whether the Web services are up and running:

    netstat -an |grep 'LISTEN' |grep <HTTPS_port_number>

    The default port number is 8443.

  • Access the Sentinel Main interface:

    1. Launch a supported web browser.

    2. Specify the URL of the Sentinel Main interface:

      https://<IP_Address/DNS_Sentinel_server>:8443/sentinel/views/main.html

      Where <IP_Address/DNS_Sentinel_server> is the IP address or DNS name of the Sentinel server and 8443 is the default port for the Sentinel server.

    3. Log in with the administrator name and password specified during the installation. The default username is admin.
