1.4 Accessing the Appliance Management Console

Secure API Manager provides an appliance management console that allows you to configure network settings, apply field patches, apply updates, and perform many other tasks. You access the appliance management console for each appliance you have deployed. If you have deployed the Secure API Manager components on separate appliances and clustered the components, you have to access each appliance to apply patches and change network settings.

  1. In a web browser, specify the DNS name or the IP address for the appliance with the port number 9443. Port 9443 is the default port. For example:

    https://10.10.10.1:9443

    or

    https://ip-address-or-dns-name-appliance:9443

  2. Specify the administrative user name and password for the appliance, then click Sign in. The default user is root. You can add a password for the vaadmin account to manage the appliance as a non-root account.

  3. Continue to configure and manage your appliance. For more information, see Section 5.0, Managing the Appliance.

The Deployment Manager is in the appliance management console. You use the Deployment Manager to configure logging to a Syslog server and the integration with Access Manager.
