Log Into the Cisco EPN Manager Web GUI

Follow these steps to log into the Cisco EPN Manager web GUI:

Procedure

Step 1

On a client machine, launch one of the supported browsers.

Step 2

In the browser’s address line, enter https://serverIP, where serverIP is the IP address of the server on which you installed the Cisco EPN Manager. The login window is displayed.

When a client accesses the Cisco EPN Manager web GUI for the first time, the browser may display a warning that the site is untrusted. When this happens, follow the prompts to add a security exception and download the self-signed certificate from the Cisco EPN Manager server. After you complete this procedure, the browser will accept the Cisco EPN Manager server as a trusted site in all future login attempts.

Step 3

Enter the web GUI root username and password, as specified during the installation.

If any licensing problems occur, a message appears in an alert box. If you have an evaluation license, the number of days until the license expires is shown. You are also alerted about any expired licenses. (You have the option to directly go to the Administration > Licenses and Software Updates > Licenses page to address these problems.) For more information, see the Licenses and Software Updates section in the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager 8.0 User and Administrator Guide.

Step 4

Click Login to log in to the Cisco EPN Manager web GUI. The home page appears and you can now use the web GUI. For information about the dashboards and dashlets, refer to the Get Started With Cisco EPN Manager section of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager 8.0 User and Administrator Guide .

Step 5

For increased security, perform these steps:

  1. Change the password for the web GUI root user by choosing Administration > Users > Change Password.

  2. Create at least one Cisco EPN Manager web GUI user that has Admin or Super User privileges, then disable the web GUI root user. For information on disabling this user, refer to the user management topics in the User Permissions and Device Access section of the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager 8.0 User and Administrator Guide .

  3. If you have not done so already, disable the Linux CLI users. Refer to the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager 8.0 User and Administrator Guide .
