.. 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 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.
