Chapter 2. Accessing Red Hat Satellite


2.1. Logging in to Red Hat Satellite

After Red Hat Satellite has been installed and configured use the web user interface to log in to Satellite for further configuration.
These steps show how to log in to Red Hat Satellite.
  1. Access the Satellite server using a web browser pointed to the following address:
    https://HOSTNAME/
    To identify your hostname, use the hostname command at the prompt:
    # hostname
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Important

    An untrusted connection warning appears on your web browser when accessing Satellite for the first time. Accept the self-signed certificate and add the Satellite URL as a security exception to override the settings. This procedure might differ depending on the browser being used.
    Only do this if you are sure that the Satellite URL is a trusted source.

  2. Enter the user name and password created during the configuration process. If a user was not created during the configuration process, the default user name is admin.
