GigaVUE‑FM Administrator Authentication by Platform

This table describes the initial values that are used for first time log in as a GigaVUE-FM administrator via the GUI or CLI on various supported platforms. Important to know:

  • The credentials used in the GigaVUE-FM GUI interface are different than those used in the GigaVUE-FM CLI interface.
  • As deployments vary by platform, so do the admin authentication methods. Depending on the platform where GigaVUE-FM is installed, you may need to specify the authentication method (SSH Public Key or Password) during deployment or use a pre-defined default password and then change the password the first time you log in.
  • Additionally, the default login credentials have also changed in certain software releases.

Rules & Notes

For AWS, initial access is only available using an SSH Public Key

During Azure deployments, you must specify one authentication method and provide the value.

Either authentication method will work if configured; however, on Azure, you cannot specify both, you can only configure one method.

In VMware deployments, you may configure an SSH Public Key and/or a Password.

You may configure both, but you must configure at least one of them. If you configure both, then you can use either method to access the GigaVUE‑FM CLI.

Password change is required on first login.
