Access Server Admin Web UI First Login

Содержание

Once you’ve completed installation of Access Server, you can now connect to the Access Server Admin Web UI remotely. The following information shows you how to access the Web UI, add new users and admins, and disable the default, bootstrap admin user.

If you have not yet installed Access Server, see the Access Server Installation options page for more information.

Admin Web UI Address and Login Credentials

At the completion of your Access Server installation, an output message similar to this displays:

Recall the Admin UI IP address or domain and the password you assigned for the openvpn bootstrap admin, crucial steps during the installation process. If you do not remember the IP address or domain, locate the init.log file which should be found in the path /usr/local/openvpn_as/init.log. The bottom text of the file provides the addresses needed to access the Admin UI.

If you did not change the password for the openvpn bootstrap account or you do not remember the password you have assigned it, you can simply change it by inputting:

Input the new password twice and you will be able to access the Admin Web UI with the openvpn bootstrap credentials.

Logging into the Admin Web UI

Now that you have the IP address or domain and the credentials, input the address for the Admin UI into your web browser. You will receive a warning about navigating to an unsecured network. Accept the risks to continue. You should then be navigated to a page that prompts for login credentials. Input the required information:

  • Username: openvpn
  • Password: the password you assigned for openvpn bootstrap account

If this is your first time logging in, review the OpenVPN Access Server End User License Agreement. Choose agree to continue.

This option is suggested as a last resort and should only be used if you are absolutely sure that you need to wipe clean all configurations of your server. Since this guide assumes that Access Server was recently installed, this option is very reasonable to use for first time configuration if you encounter errors.
