Post Installation Guide

Steps to take after installation

After installing the cluster, there are a few steps that should be taken to complete the setup.

Create an Admin User

The ESB3027 AgileTV CDN Manager ships with a default user account, but this account is only intended as a way to log in and create an actual user. Attempting to authenticate other services such as the MIB Frontend Configuration GUI, may not work using this pre-provisioned account.

You will need the IP address or DNS name specified in the configuration as both the first manager host and the Zitadel External Domain.

global:
  hosts:
    manager:
      - host: manager.local

Using a web browser, connect to the following URL, replacing manager.local with the IP or DNS name from the configuration above:

https://manager.local/ui/console

You must authenticate using the default credentials:

Username: admin@agiletv.dev
Password: Password1!

It will ask you to set up Multi-Factor Authentication, however you MUST skip this step for now, as it is not currently supported everywhere in the manager’s APIs.

On the menu bar at the top of the screen, click “Users” and proceed to create a New User. Enter the required information, and for now, ensure the “Email Verified” and “Set Initial Password” boxes are checked. Zitadel will attempt to send a confirmation EMail if the “Email Verified” box is not checked, however on initial installation, the SMTP server details have not been configured.

You should now be able to authenticate to the MIB Frontend GUI at https://manager.local/gui using the credentials for the new user.

Configure an SMTP Server

Zitadel requires an SMTP server to be configured in order to send validation emails and support communication with users for password resets, etc. If you have an SMTP server, you can configure it by logging back into the Zitadel Web UI at https://manager.local/ui/console, clicking on “Default Settings” at the top of the page, and configuring the SMTP provider from the menu on the left. After this has been performed, if a new user account is created, an E-Mail will be sent to the configured E-Mail address with a verification link, which must be clicked before the account will be valid.
