Initialize the Access Gateway Admin UI console

Once an Access Gateway instance is running, you initialize it by assigning it a cookie domain. This domain represents the general domain that the Access Gateway instance is protecting.

  1. Open https://admin/ in your browser and sign in using the default credentials. See Default Access Gateway credentials.
  2. Access Gateway prompts you to change the default password. See Initial sign in to Access Gateway Admin UI console.
  3. Configure the DNS entries for the Access Gateway instance:
