4.1. Getting startedΒΆ

The appliance is managed using a Web UI, that can be reached via

On the first run you need to configure your client machine to 10.76.83.70/30 in order to connect to the Web UI by the above address. You will be taken to a configuration wizard. After finishing the wizard you will be forwarded to the appliance management Web UI.

The appliance management Web UI is i.e. used to

  • monitor the status of the system
  • configure the network settings of the machine
  • set passwords of the root user and LinOTP administrators
  • perform backup and restore
  • manage your license
  • update the machine

You will use the Web UI to define a new appliance configuration. After having defined the configuration it needs to be saved and activated. You can revert to a previous configuration set at any time. The appliance keeps track of your configuration sets.

Let’s take a look at the main tabs and thus at the main configuration topics.
