Configuring SteelFusion Edge Appliances
Connecting to the Management Console
After you configure the Edge appliance, you can check and modify your configuration settings and view
performance reports and system logs in the Management Console. You can connect to the Management
Console through any supported Web browser.
To connect to the Management Console, you must know the host, domain, and administrator password that
you assigned in the configuration wizard.
Note:
Cookies and JavaScript must be enabled in your Web browser.

Before you begin, clear your browser cache and cookies to ensure the user interface displays correctly.
To connect to the Management Console
1.
Specify the URL for the Management Console in the location box of your Web browser:
protocol
://
host
.
domain
protocol
is http or https. HTTPS uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to ensure a secure
environment. When you connect using HTTPS, the system prompts you to inspect and verify the SSL
certificate. This is a self-signed certificate that provides encrypted Web connections to the Management
Console. The system re-creates the certificate when you change the appliance hostname or when the
certificate expires.
The secure vault does not protect the self-signed certificate used with HTTPS connections.
host
is the hostname you assigned to the Edge appliance primary interface in the configuration wizard.
If your DNS server maps that IP address to a name, you can specify the DNS name.
domain
is the full domain name for the appliance.
Note:
Alternatively, you can specify the IP address instead of the host and domain name.
