3.1 Accessing the Administration Pages

After you properly initialize the appliance using the information in Section 2.5, Initializing the Appliance, the browser automatically redirects to the administration pages at https://dns_of_appliance/appliance/index.html.

If the initialization does not automatically redirect or you need access to the administration pages, use the following steps:

  1. In a supported browser, enter https://dns_of_appliance/appliance/index.html.

  2. Log in as the administrator of the appliance as specified during the initialization process.

    These credentials are the cluster administrator user name specified during the initialization process and its LDAP user password.

The first time you log in, the appliance displays the Admin page and activates users in the search contexts from the identity source. Ensure that this process completes before configuring any SaaS applications.

Icons at the top of the Admin page allow you to access the other administration pages. If your session times out or you log out, the next time you log in to the appliance, CloudAccess displays the page that you last accessed.

Admin sessions time out by default after 10 minutes. This setting is not currently configurable, but you can adjust the timeout setting for user sessions. For more information, see Section 10.1, Configuring Session Timeouts.

For a list of the different administration pages, see Section 1.4, How to Manage CloudAccess.
