Configure Your Deploymet

After installing, you have a cluster of one, a single node. The next steps are to configure key cluster settings and then add more nodes to your cluster. Although these settings can be set at a later time, we recommend setting them during initial configuration.

• Configure your cluster
• Clustering

Configure your cluster

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

Access the MSS Admin Console

To access the MSS Admin Console:

1. Log in to https://hostname/adminconsole.

2. The Admin Console's default password is admin.

3. Once signed in, various views can be loaded using the drop-down menu.

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 drop-down menu, click Cluster Management.

4. Click Settings.

5. Set the Cluster DNS Name and click Apply.

6. 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, click 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.
