      Article summary

      This page describes how to start Keep and introduces you to the parts of Lasernet Keep that you use to maintain and manage the system.

      Note

      This page contains draft documentation for beta software. Until the final release of Lasernet Keep 11.0, the content on this page is subject to revision.

      Log In to Keep

      To log in to Keep, follow these steps:

      1. In a web browser, go to Keep’s URL.

        Note

        The Keep URL has the following structure:

        https://<host name>:<port>/keep/

        Appropriately substitute <host name> and <port>.

        If Keep is using the default HTTPS port (443), you can omit :<port>.  For example: https://keep-server/keep

        However, if Keep is using a different HTTPS port, you must specify that port number. For example, if during installation you specified an HTTPS Port number of 443 and a Port offset of 100, Keep’s HTTPS port number is 543: https://keep-server:543/keep

        If you omit /keep/, your browser will redirect to you to Keep.

      2. Enter your Username and Password, then click Log in. You might log in as the built-in admin user, or as a separately created Keep user that has the Admin User role.

      Note

      Depending on how Keep has been set up, the log in page might look different from the page above, and the identity that you log in as might differ too.
