Verify Web Access
After configuring your appliance, you need to access the DSM Management Console from a browser, to administer the
DSM.
Open a browser and confirm access over HTTPS to either the DSM hostname (if configured in DNS) or the IP address
defined in
"Configuration tasks" on page 27
. Example URL:
https://dsm.vormetric.com
If this doesn't work because, for example, port 443 was blocked by a firewall, specify port 8445. Example:
https://dsm.vormetric.com:8445
The default user name and password to log on to the DSM the for first time are; admin and admin123. You will be
prompted to reset the password. The password criteria are:
l

l

The DSM Management Console has a help icon (?) located on the right-hand side of the title bar, which is located
under the menu bar, on each page of the Web UI. Click the icon for help with tasks on a specific page.
