Access Web Console

Access the Web Console by entering the host name or IP address of the Master Server in your browser's address bar.

To obtain the IP address of the Master Server host:

• Check the Master Server console on startup.

  The Web Console's IP address is 10.0.2.15.
  

• Run the ip addr command in the Master Server console.

First Time Setup

After installing the Master Server, the administrator must:

1. Log in to the Web Console with default administrator credentials.
2. Activate ER.
3. Update Administrator Account.

Log In

The default administrator login is:

• Username: admin
• Password: ChangeMeNow

Activate ER

1. On first login, ER2 prompts you to upload a new license file. Click Upload License File.
   
2. In the Upload License File dialog box, click Choose File.

3. Select the license file and click Upload to upload it.

   See Licensing on how to download your license file.
4. Check that the details of the uploaded license file are correct. Click Commit License File.

Update Administrator Account

After activating ER2, you will be asked to update the details of the administrator account.

1. In the Account Details dialog box, update the following fields:

   1. Email Address: Email for your administrator account.

      Your administrator account must have a valid email address to be able to receive notifications and password recovery emails.
      If a Message Transfer Agent (MTA) has been set up, all ER2 notification and/or delegated remediation emails will be sent from the email address configured for the administrator account. See Set Up MTA for more information.
   2. New Password: New password for the administrator account.

   3. Confirm Password: Enter the new password again to confirm.

      If you performed a standard (ISO) installation of the Master Server, changing your administrator password here also changes your Master Server's root password.
2. Click Save Changes.

User Login

Users can log in using credentials provided by their administrators.

A domain field appears if ER2 is using an imported Active Directory (AD) user list.

To log in using non-AD credentials, select No Domain.

Active Directory Login

You can set up ER2 to allow Active Directory logins. See Import A User List from AD DS.

To login using your Active Directory credentials:

1. From the list, select a domain.
2. Enter your Active Directory credentials and click Login.

Password Recovery

Click Forgot password? to receive an email to reset your password.

You cannot use Forgot password? to reset your password when:

• Your ER2 user account does not have a valid email address.

• A Message Transfer Agent (MTA) has not been set up. See Mail Settings for information on how to set up an MTA.
  

  If you cannot reset your password, check with your ER2 administrator.
