First Time Access

This page is applicable to NetConnect X 2.5.95 and above

Once you navigate to your instance, you will be presented with the first time access screen. This page exists to prepare you for the browser warning you will receive on the next page; this error presents because we are moving to secure HTTPS before we have applied an SSL certificate. Simply click ‘Continue’ and then navigate past the browser warning to proceed.

Next, review and accept the End User Licence Agreement.

Create a Master Admin Account

Finally, you will need to create a Master Admin user for your new instance. The details for this account must be stored securely as they cannot be recovered by Northbridge Secure. Should these credentials be lost, you will need to reinstall your NetConnect X instance. We also strongly recommend a unique username to avoid conflicts with existing accounts on your network or external authentication sources. Additionally, we recommend taking a snapshot of your instance prior to creating the Master Admin account in the event you need to revert to this point.

Once the Master Admin account is set, you’ll be redirected to the default login page. Use the credentials you’ve just created to access you NetConnect instance…

Next Steps..

You now have a basic NetConnect instance installed and accessible. At this point, you will need to configure you server to ensure it is secure and ready for production deployment. From this point, all work will be performed within the Admin Panel which is available to the admin account and can be assigned to users in  the future.
