Connecting to the Admin UI

To connect to the Traffic Manager Admin UI, type the URL displayed on the appliance console into your Web browser.

By default, this URL is "https://<appliance_IP>:9090/", where <appliance_IP> is either:

The IP address obtained using DHCP

The IP address specified with the z-set-initial-address command (if used).

192.168.1.101

Before you can connect to the Admin UI, your Web browser might report problems with the SSL certificate (either that it cannot trust it, or that the hostname in the certificate does not match the hostname in the URL). These problems can safely be ignored: the certificate is a self-signed certificate, and the hostname in the certificate might not match the URL you have used to access it, particularly if you have used the appliance’s IP address in the URL.

Access to the Admin UI is authenticated with a dedicated SSL certificate. The SHA-1 fingerprint of the SSL certificate is displayed on the appliance console. The SHA-1 fingerprint is useful for the following purposes:

To verify the SSL certificate when connecting with a Web browser for the first time.

To verify the authenticity of Traffic Manager identities when joining a cluster.

When you set up a new Traffic Manager, Ivanti recommends noting the SHA-1 fingerprint. You can also display the fingerprint from the appliance console command line using the following command: $ZEUSHOME/admin/bin/cert -f fingerprint -in $ZEUSHOME/admin/etc/admin.public
