  3. Follow the prompts to change your password and login.

Step 2. Set the IP Address and Time Zone.

By default, the IP address is obtained via DHCP. If DHCP is not available, you can manually assign an IP address to the virtual machine. To check or to manually assign an IP address to the virtual machine:

  1. Select Network > Configure to check the current configuration.

How to Configure SSH

  1. Select  Services.
  2. Select SSH.
  3. Select Enable to enable or Start to start the SSH service on boot-up.  
  4. If your virtual machine shares the IP address of your device on the external network (your device provides NAT for network traffic from the virtual machine), you need to change network settings to bridge mode (the virtual machine appears as an additional computer on the same physical network connection as your device). 
  5. You can check the IP address of the virtual appliance by selecting Network and Status.  
  6. Now you can SSH into the virtual appliance; example:  ssh admin@10.x.x.x

How to Configure a Proxy

Note that Envoy is pre-configured to listen locally on 443/tcp via the proxy environment variable FYDE_ENVOY_LISTENER_PORT. There is also a firewall rule for the public zone allowing external access to this port.

  1. Select Services > Proxy > Configure > Set .  

  2. Select enrollment_token.  

  3. Paste the token and click Enter, making sure that you are pasting without style (you can obtain the enrollment_token from the CloudGen Console when you create a new User Directory).

  4. If you can’t paste the token, you can SSH into the virtual appliance and paste it there. See How to Configure SSH above.

  5. To double check the entered values, select View .  

  6. Go to Services > Proxy .  

  7. Select Start to start the proxy service now, or Enable to start the proxy service now and enable starting the service on boot-up.
