Configure Your Cluster

The MSS Admin Console is a central location for system and product configuration. First you'll use the MSS Admin Console to access Cluster Management, where you'll set key cluster settings. Later you will use the MSS Administrative Console to further configure your product(s).

Access the Admin Console

  • Access the MSS Admin Console here: https://hostname/adminconsole.

  • The Admin Console's default password is admin.

  • Once signed in, you can navigate to various views using the drop-down menu in the upper left.

Set the cluster DNS name

  1. Register a name in your DNS system that points to your load balancer. If not using a load balancer, the name should resolve to all nodes in your cluster.

  2. Log in to the MSS Admin Console at https://hostname/adminconsole.

  3. From the pull-down menu, select Cluster Management.

  4. Click Settings.

  5. Set the Cluster DNS Name and click Apply.

  6. You should now use this hostname for accessing all services in the cluster.

Set the cluster certificate

  1. Log in to the MSS Admin Console at https://hostname/adminconsole.

  2. From the drop-down menu, select Cluster Management.

  3. Click Settings.

  4. Expand the Certificate and Private Key panels and import the certificate and key pair.

  5. Click Apply. The cluster certificate will be applied to all cluster endpoints. This may take a few minutes.
