Configuring the First KeyControl Node (OVA Install)

When you log into the target system for the first time after installing the KeyControl software, KeyControl displays the System Menu. This procedure explains how to use this menu to configure this system as the first KeyControl node in the system.

1. Log into the system on which you installed the KeyControl software.

2. On the Set System Password screen, enter a password for the KeyControl system and press Enter. The password must contain at least 6 characters and cannot contain spaces or any non-ASCII characters.

   This password cannot be reset from within KeyControl. If you lose the password, you will need to re-install the KeyControl software.

   Note:

   This password controls access to the System Console Menu that allows users to perform some KeyControl administration tasks. It does not permit a KeyControl user to access the full OS.

3. When prompted about whether you want to add this node to an existing cluster, select No and press Enter.
4. Review the confirmation dialog that provides the URL of the KeyControl webGUI. When you are done, press Enter to finish the installation and view the main system menu.

What to Do Next 

Set up the KeyControl webGUI as described in Initializing the KeyControl webGUI.
