The system can be accessed with the already present accounts "root" and "Administrator" after reboot. Both user accounts use the root password that has been set during the base settings.

UCS management system

The UCS management system can be accessed with a web browser through the configured IP address during the initial configuration. The URL is https://<IP address>. For example, if the suggested IP address 192.168.0.140 has been set, the URL would be https://192.168.0.140.

All settings in the scope of the domain can be configured in the domain management of the UCS management, e.g. management of users, groups, configuration of mail etc. The user account "Administrator" should be used for administration tasks.
