An overview of the first-time Access Server setup.

Description

• After installation, you sign in to the Admin Web UI for the first time using the admin account, openvpn with a temporary password.

• A server without a subscription allows 2 VPN connections.

• When you click to get an activation key, you can purchase a subscription for the connections and billing terms you need.

• Activate your subscription key by pasting it from the Access Server Portal into the Admin Web UI.

• Setting up a domain name for your server rather than the public IP address is more user-friendly.

• Replace your temporary password.

• Configure users directly with local authentication.

• Create and manage user groups.

• Configure additional authentication systems, including SAML.

• Enable multi-factor authentication.

• Set the password lockout policy.

• Set up an Access Server cluster for load balancing and redundancy.
