Logging in to the CLI with a Secure Shell session connection

By default, secure management is enabled on the Management server and you must use secure connections to access the Management server. Secure connections use the default host key that is provided with the Management server at installation. You can log in to the CLI on the Management server by using a Secure Shell session (SSH).

Procedure

  1. In Windows, start the application that performs SSH connections.
    For example, open PuTTY.
  2. Enter the management server-host-name.
  3. If needed, select SSH as the connection protocol or set one of the other connection parameters that are offered by the application.
  4. Initiate the connection. The login prompt is displayed at first access.
  5. Log in to the Management server with a user name and password, which have administrative privileges. The default user name and password is:
    • Login: admin
    • Password: !n0r1t5@C
      Note: This console uses a US keyboard configuration, in which the @ symbol can be in a different place to other keyboard configurations. If you are not using a US keyboard, please ensure that you have typed the password correctly.

Results

When you log in, the prompt changes to the host name of the Management server. For example, management server-host-name/APIManagement.

If you do not select a host name, the prompt defaults to the IP address of the Management server. For example, ip-x-xx-xxx-xx/APIManagement
