COmanage Registry Grouper Shibboleth IdP VM |
If you intend to download these will be using the released VMs, below are a few suggestions:
- The VMs are designed to be run in VirtualBox. If you are not familiar with VirtualBox, you can read the documentation and download the software from the Oracle's web site.
- Once VirtualBox is installed and running, you import the .ova distribution using the File / Import Appliance function.
- The default network connection for some of the Virtual Machines is NAT. This works well for the case logging into and examing the VM and containers. To connect to services hosted by the VM, you'll likely want to switch the network to bridged mode. This will give the VM an IP address from your network's DHCP server and provide you with the ability to access services from a browser.
- Please review the Release Notes for installation instructions and additional information on VirtualBox setup.
- Remember to change the login password(s) before you place the VMs on a public network.
