Connecting to Appliance console
Overview
In some scenarios, you may prefer to use a URL other than the hostname or IP address of the Appliance. This article provides step-by-step instructions for managing and adding Virtual Appliance URLs.
Following these steps will help ensure your Virtual Appliance is accessible via the desired URL and that your environment is properly configured to recognize it.
Connecting to Appliance console
1. Open a connection to the Virtual Appliance console.
2. Log in to the Appliance and select System.
Сhanging Allowed URLs
Before you proceed, make sure to stop running your Tests.
3. From the System menu, select Change Allowed URLs (Allowed URLs refer to the new URL where the Virtual Appliance will be accessible).
4. This takes you to the built-in GNU nano editor. The values are semicolon-delimited.
5. Delete any unnecessary URLs and add the new URL as needed.
Make sure your URLs are valid and that you do not have a ; (semicolon) at the end of the line. Semicolons must only be used between each URL in the list.
For example:
6. Press Ctrl + O to save the changes, then hit Enter to confirm overwriting the existing file.
7. Press Ctrl + X to exit GNU nano.
8. From the main menu, select Reboot to restart the Appliance.
After rebooting, verify access to the new IP address of the Virtual Appliance front end using a web browser:
Ensure that the rest of your environment recognizes the new Appliance URL so that all parts of the network can connect to it.
Updating Launchers
After configuring the new URL, ensure that you update the Launchers to the latest version. Even if the version number remains the same, Login Enterprise updates the Launcher files with the new URL name.
