The Puppet Enterprise (PE) console is a graphical interface where
you can manage your infrastructure without relying on the command line.
To log in for the first time:
-
In your browser, open the console by entering a URL referencing your primary server
hostname. For example:
https://primary.example.com
Note: You'll receive a browser warning about an untrusted certificate because you
were the signing authority for the console's certificate, and your PE deployment is not known to your browser as a
valid signing authority. Ignore this warning and accept the certificate.
-
Log in with your admin username and password.
- If you used the PE installer tarball to
install PE, log in to the console with the
username
admin and the password you created when
installing. Keep track of this login because you'll need it later.
- If you used PIM to install PE, log in to
the console with the admin username and password included in the JSON file
containing the parameters used for your installation. Your installation parameters
file has a name like
/success_install_<DATE_TIME_STAMP>.json. When you are logged in
successfully, change your admin password promptly for account security.
