Verify SSH Access to SD-WAN Instance and Set a Password for HTTPS Access

After you successfully create your instance, you must verify SSH access to your SD-WAN Instance.

Creating a password for HTTPS access ensures you implement heightened security measures. Fortifying your system's defenses is critial to ensure robust protection against unauthorized access and potential threats. Follow these steps to verify your access and set up a password:

1. Run this command: ssh -i <privateKeyPath> talariuser@<mgt-public-ip>
2. Once you are logged in with SSH, set a password for talariuser.
3. Enter the following command: sudo passwd talariuser. This password is used for HTTPS access only and you can't use the password for SSH logins to the SD-WAN Instance. The following is an example:

   talariuser@Talari-:~#
   talariuser@Talari-:~#
   talariuser@Talari-:~#
   talariuser@Talari-:~#
   talariuser@Talari-:~# sudo passwd talariuser
   Changing password for user talariuser.
   New password:
   Retype new password:
   passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
   talariuser@Talari-:~#
   talariuser@Talari-:~#

4. After you've set up the password, exit the SD-WAN Instance CLI console.
