Post-install configuration¶
Once you have successully completed the browser-based or command-line installation, there are a few additional steps to take before beginning to use the platform.
Final configuration steps¶
The installation process will have installed self-signed SSL certificates to encrypt web traffic. While these certificates can be used on a temporary basis to get started, you will want to replace them with non-self-signed SSL certificates for production operation. See Updating TLS/SSL certificates for information on how to change them.

Wait for the application to fully stabilize. Anaconda Enterprise can take up to 30 minutes to fully finish loading, depending upon the performance of the cluster network and attached disks. You may be able to log in to the main UI immediately, but sessions and deployments will not be ready to start. To confirm that the cluster is fully loaded, run the following command from the master node:
The output will look something like this:
Wait for every pod to indicate a status of either
Running
orCompleted
. Theapp-images
pods will be the last to stabilize. You can exit thewatch
command at any time withctrl-C
.
Testing your installation¶
Once the application has fully loaded, you can do the following to verify that your installation succeeded.
Access the Anaconda Enterprise console by entering the URL of your AE server in a web browser:
https://anaconda.example.com
, replacinganaconda.example.com
with the fully-qualified domain name of the host server.Login with the default username and password
anaconda-enterprise
/anaconda-enterprise
. After testing your installation, update the credentials for this default login. See Configuring user access for more information.
You can verify a successful installation by doing any or all of the following:
Creating a new project and starting an editing session
Deploying a project
Generating a token from a deployment
Note
Some of the sample projects can only be deployed after mirroring the package repository. To test your installation without doing this first, you can deploy the “Hello Anaconda Enterprise” sample project.
Next steps:
Now that you’ve completed these essential steps, you can do any of the following optional steps:
Set TLS/SSL certificates for the platform.
One important thing to do is to change the default login credentials for both Anaconda Enterprise itself, and the Keycloak account management mechanism. These defaults are
Primary UI: username
anaconda-enterprise
, passwordanaconda-enterprise
Keycloak UI: username
admin
, passwordadmin
Both should be changed as soon as possible. The Keycloak credentials can be
accessed from the “User Management” entry in the master dropdown menu.
keeping the anaconda-enterprise
user in place, but changing its password,
so that it can be used in the future for certain cluster administration functions.
