Configuring essential portal settings

When running XClarity One as a virtual machine and you access the portal for the first time, you need to configure essential settings through the setup wizard. You can launch the XClarity One portal from any computer that has network connectivity to the virtual-machine host.

About this task

XClarity One is only accessible through a secure connection. Always use https.

Ensure that you are using one of the following supported web browsers.
  • Chrome 115 or later
  • Firefox ESR 102.12 or later
  • Microsoft Edge 115 or later
  • Safari 16.6 or later

Procedure

Complete the following steps to initially set up XClarity One.

  1. Launch the setup wizard, by pointing your browser to the IP address of the virtual appliance.

    If you specified an IPv4 address during installation, use that IPv4 address. If a DHCP server is set up in the same broadcast domain as XClarity One, use the IPv4 address that is displayed in the XClarity One virtual-appliance console.
    https://{IPv4_address}
    For example, https://192.0.2.10
  2. Follow the steps in the setup wizard to create you organization and initial user (organization owner), configure the NTP server, and import licenses.

  3. Sign in, and then configure the portal by completing the following steps.

    1. Configure the network, including IP address, DNS address, and host configuration. Ensure that all required ports and firewalls are open (see Portal network).

    2. Optional: Configure an HTTP2 web proxy (see Portal network).

    3. Optional: Configure security certificates (see Security certificates).

    4. Optional: Configure an external authentication server (see External identity provider).
