Access the interface

To access the Interface, you must point your Web Browser to the URL provided during installation.

By default the Configuration Tool is accessible on the dedicated port 7766 (HTTP). For example : http://172.16.1.130:7766

The UI can be now protected by an HTTPS access

The file /etc/shinken/synchronizer.cfg has new parameters.
to activate the HTTPS:
- http_use_ssl=0
  - by default it is set to 0.
  - Set it to 1 to activate.
Set certificates by updating the 2 following parameters:
- http_ssl_cert=/etc/shinken/certs/server.cert
- http_ssl_key=/etc/shinken/certs/server.key

Accessing to the UI will still use the default dedicated port 7766 (but in HTTPS).

You must Sign in to access the Administration Tool :

1. Enter your Username and Password
2. Click the Login Button or hit Enter

Info
If Shinken is connected to an active directory, please use your usual account

Warning
If an error occurred (wrong login or password), you will be prompted again
