First Launch Experience

Overview

The first time you launch SFTP Gateway, you will go through a one-time configuration. This is where you create an admin user and configure a default Blob container.

These steps are performed in the web interface, so there is no need to SSH into the server.

Open the web interface

Open a web browser and navigate to the public IP address of the VM.

You will see a warning message:

The web interface uses SSL to protect network traffic. But the SSL certificate is self-signed, so you will need to bypass this warning message.

Click Advanced to reveal the rest of the page.

Click Proceed to IP-address (unsafe)

Create an admin account

After you bypass the SSL warning, you will see a welcome page.

In this section, you will create an admin account. Fill out the following fields:

• Username: Enter a username such as admin
• Password: Enter a password. Hover over the icon to see the password strength requirements.

Login

To sign in to SFTP Gateway admin UI, provide the username and password.
