Getting started

.. index:: Appliance

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

	https://10.76.83.69:8443

On the first run you need to configure your client machine to 10.76.83.70/30 and you will be taken to a configuration wizard.

The appliance management Web UI is used 

  * to configure the network settings of the machine, 
  * set passwords of the root user and LinOTP administrators
  * perform backup and restore 
  * and 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.
