Privileged Access Appliance Setup Task List
This task list is a quick reference for the steps necessary to get your Bomgar Appliance set up. Full details can be found further on in this guide. Use this list as a checklist of the essential steps.
-
Configure a DNS A-record for the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your new site (e.g., access.example.com).
- If your appliance will be located in your DMZ or internal network, then an internal A-record pointing to the internal IP address of the appliance is needed.
- If you wish to support external customers, then a Public DNS A-record also needs to be registered for the external IP address of the appliance.
- For Bomgar network deployment scenarios, see The Bomgar Appliance in the Network.
- Install the Bomgar Appliance according to Privileged Access Appliance Prerequisites.
- Obtain an SSL certificate that matches your FQDN DNS (e.g., access.example.com).
- For full details, see the SSL Certificate Guide.
- Import the certificate chain to your appliance and assign it to the IP address of the appliance.
- Export the root portion of the certificate chain (with matching Issued To and Issued By values) without private key information, and save the root certificate for the next step.
- Email the following three items to Bomgar Technical Support:
- The FQDN DNS hostname of the appliance from Step 1.
- The root SSL certificate segment exported in Step 3c.
- A screenshot of the /appliance > Status > Basics page.
- Install the new software license package which Bomgar Technical Support will send after you complete Steps 1-4.
- You will be notified by email when you should install the software license package using the Check for Updates utility.
- Once installed, navigate to the /login administrative interface (e.g., https://access.example.com/login).
- Use the default admin credentials admin and password to log in for the first time.
