Accessing and using the Flex Appliance Console
After you have configured Flex Appliance, you can sign in to the Flex Appliance Console to use and manage the appliance software.
To access the Flex Appliance Console
- Open a web browser on a system that has a network connection to the appliance. Flex Appliance supports the following browsers:
Google Chrome version 57 or higher
Mozilla Firefox version 52 or higher
Note:
These browsers may display a Privacy error or Insecure Connection page when you access the Flex Appliance Console. Use the Advanced option on the page to proceed.
- Navigate to https://console.domain, where console.domain is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that you entered for the Flex Appliance Console during initial configuration. It can also be an IP address.
When you sign in for the first time, use the following default credentials:

Password: P@ssw0rd
Warning:
The default password is well documented and available online. For security purposes, Veritas recommends that you change the admin user password the first time you sign in. See Changing the admin user password on the Flex Appliance Console.
