Log in to the web interface

Perform the following tasks to log in to the web interface after installation is complete.

  1. Using a web browser, go to the IP address you assigned to .
    • If you installed as an unprivileged user, log in to 's web interface at the custom HTTPS port.
      https://<ip address or hostname>:<your https port>

      The custom HTTPS port for unprivileged AMI based installations is 9999. However, the UI is still accessible on port 443.

    • If you installed from the AWS Marketplace, get the public IP address for the instance from the EC2 Management Console and the full AWS instance ID for the EC2 instance. Log in to the web interface by using the public IP address.
  2. Log in using the default credentials. Use soar_local_admin as the username and password as the password. If you installed from the AWS Marketplace, use soar_local_admin as the username and the full AWS instance ID as the password.

    AWS requires about 20 minutes to complete the setup. After the setup is complete, you can use your full AWS instance ID as the password. Attempting to login before that will result in a login error.

    1. Click the user name soar_local_admin, then select Account Settings.
    2. Click the Change Password tab.
    3. Type the current password.
