Chapter 1 Overview

Logging into ACE Appliance Device Manager

The admin account was created when the system was installed. Once you are logged in using this

account, you can create additional user accounts and manage virtual contexts, roles, and domains. For

information on changing account passwords, see Changing User Passwords, page 15-13.

Step 4 In the Password field, type the password for the admin user account, admin. The password for the admin

user account was configured when the system was installed. Change the default admin login password

as outlined in

Changing Your Account Password, page 1-6.

Note All ACE appliances shipped from Cisco Systems are configured with the same administrative

username and password. If you do not change the default Admin password, you will only be able

to log in to the ACE through the console port.

Step 5 Click Login.

When you log in, the default page that appears is the DM Homepage (see Chapter 2, “Using

Homepage”).

Step 6 We recommend you change your admin password. See Changing Your Account Password, page 1-6.

Note The DM does not support duplicate management IP addresses in different contexts.

Step 2 To login as a user, enter userid in the User Name field (where userid is the login name provided by your
