Initially Logging in to NexentaFusion

After successfully installing NexentaFusion, (see NexentaStor 5.0 Installation QuickStart Guide), the system is ready for use with a predefined account with full administrative privileges. This predefined account cannot be deleted.

username: admin

password: nexenta

Important!

Immediately after accessing NexentaFusion for the first time, change the password for this admin predefined user account.

Passwords should be at least 9 characters long and contain at least 3 of the following classes of characters: lowercase, uppercase, numeric, and special (for example, !, @, #,$, %, ^). Passwords should not be based on English dictionary or slang words, nor English first names or surnames.

In case of a lost username and password, you can reset the credentials from the Login screen. To do this, you must have configured the SMTP mail server and set up an email address to receive an email about the credentials you reset. Only local administrators (admin users) have the ability to reset the credentials.

To log in to NexentaFusion for the first time, do the following:

1. In a Web browser, enter the URL of the system created during the NexentaFusion installation, followed by the default port 8457:

https://<IP Address>:8457

2. Enter the default login credentials in the appropriate fields.

If you have integrated NexentaFusion with Windows Active Directory (AD), you can login with your AD user credentials. When you enter a username and password, NexentaFusion first checks the local user list. If the user name is not on the local user list and AD is configured, then AD is checked. When you configure AD users, you must first delete local users that are duplicates of the AD users. For more information, see Adding NexentaFusion to Windows Active Directory (AD).

3. Scroll down and click the check box to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
