What’s next?
Now that the FirePass server is installed and accessible on the network, you
can use the Administrative Console to finish configuring FirePass.
◆
Set up security on the FirePass server by adding groups and user
accounts, and then configuring authentication. For more information, see
Chapter 3, Setting Up FirePass Server Security.
◆
(Optional) If necessary, change the FirePass server host name to a name
that is appropriate for your site. For more information, see Changing the
FirePass server name, on page 3-30.
◆
Install a new SSL certificate. For more information, see Setting up
certificates, on page 3-29.
◆
Configure the SMTP Server, Administrator’s password and email,
proxies, and SSL Server Certificate. See Chapter 5, Managing,
Monitoring, and Maintaining the FirePass Server, for directions.
◆
Install the license signature. You may have received an email from the
F5 entitlement server describing how to install your license. If so, use
those directions. If not, contact technical support (support@f5.com) to
make sure your license is ready. Then navigate to
Server/Settings/License and click on the link to pick up your new license
signature.
◆
Configure the Webifyers that you want to make available to users. For
example, configure the SSL VPN Webifyer, if necessary. For more
information, see Chapter 4, Configuring the FirePass Webifyers.
◆
(Optional) If necessary, customize the appearance of the user’s home
page, such as the logo and terms used for logging in. For more
information, see Customizing the user’s home page, on page 5-31.
Note
After you use the superuser account to create user accounts, you can assign
administrative privileges to one or more user accounts. For more
information, see Assigning administrative privileges to a user account, on
page 3-19.
