Getting Started with AirWave
This topic describes how to perform an initial launch of the AirWave network management solution on the
session-based authentication scheme introduced in AirWave 7.3.
When an AirWave URL is accessed either interactively using a browser or programatically using an API, a sent
cookie may match a session stored in the database, granting authentication (but not necessarily access, depending
on how the user's role matches the required role for the URL). If the cookie is not present or the session in the
database has expired, the request is denied.
For browser requests, this results in a login form being displayed. When you submit the login form, the supplied
credentials are checked against the AMP's user database, an external RADIUS server, or external TACACS+
server per the AMP's configuration. If the credentials are valid, the user's browser is sent a session cookie to use in
subsequent requests.
Use your browser to navigate to the static IP address assigned to the internal page of the AMP, as shown in
2. Enter the User Name and Password as admin/admin for your initial login, and then select Log In.
