Access User Interface and Install License

Creating the First IP Fabric User

To create the first user, please log in to the System Administration UI on port 8443.

After logging in as the osadmin user, go to the Create admin menu and set up a new local administrator account.

Info

On a clean IP Fabric installation, there is no user for the main GUI present by default. It is mandatory to create a new local administrator account.

Creating new admin user

With this new account, you will be able to log in to the main IP Fabric user interface.

In Settings → Administration → Local Users of the main interface, you can change the password of the new account.

In Settings → Administration → Local Users, you can also create or delete local users and change their passwords.

Creating a new user account

Accessing the Main User Interface

Type the IP Fabric VM’s address into your web browser and allow HTTPS exceptions in case of a warning.

Trusted Certificate

You can replace a self-signed SSL certificate with a trusted one in the web UI.

The system requires a license file that uniquely identifies the system and links it to the dedicated support channels.

Please keep the license file safe, as it is also used as part of the key to encrypt sensitive information.

Drag the license.key file into the Drop a file area. Or click the area (or the Upload & accept button) and browse to the file.

If the license installation fails, contact the IP Fabric Support team.

Once the license is validated, the system will present a login screen.
