First login

After the Plixer Scrutinizer appliance completes its first boot sequence and a user logs in with the credentials plixer:scrutinizer, it will perform a quick setup before rebooting itself.

After the reboot, log in again to start the initial configuration script:

  1. Provide the following information when prompted by the script:
    • Static IP address
    • Netmask
    • Gateway
    • FQDN
    • DNS IP address
    • NTP server IP address
  1. Continue through the succeeding dialogs and enter any additional information requested.
  2. To allow the script to generate a self-signed SSL certificate, enter following information when prompted:
  • SSL port (default: 443)
  • Country
  • State
  • Town
  • Company name
  • Organizational unit
  • Admin’s email address
  1. At the end of the script, press Enter and wait for the server to reboot again to apply the settings.

After the final appliance reboot, point any supported browser to http://[configuredIPaddress] and log in with the default admin:admin credentials to access the Plixer Scrutinizer web interface, where the rest of the initial configuration steps will be performed.
