The CHARON-SSP Manager is a GUI management interface for the CHARON-SSP for Linux virtual machine. Using this management utility it is possible to manage multiple virtual machines, licenses and virtual networks across a number of remote hosts. It is also the interface presented on the console of a system running the CHARON-SSP Virtual Environment appliance.

Getting Connected

Upon starting the CHARON-SSP Manager you will immediately be presented with a login window similar to the following.

CHARON-SSP Manager Login Window

For CHARON-SSP Virtual Environment users, the CHARON-SSP Manager window starts automatically on the console.

To proceed, enter the address of the system running the CHARON-SSP Agent into the field labelled IP address and the password for that system into the field labelled Password. The default password is 123456. If the password was not changed by following the post-installation tasks, it is highly recommended that this is corrected immediately. Leaving the management console password unchanged poses a significant security risk.

To connect to the CHARON-SSP Agent system click the button labelled Connect.

If you receive an error similar to the following, check to ensure that the host specified in the IP address field is correct and the CHARON-SSP Agent is installed and running on the host.
