Cisco Cisco Firepower Management Center 4000

Because FirePOWER appliances audit user activity based on user accounts, make sure that users log into 
the system with the correct account.

You must provide a username and password to obtain access to the web interface, CLI, or shell of an 
appliance. After you log into an appliance, the features you can access are controlled by the privileges 
granted to your user account.If you supply incorrect credentials multiple times, your shell access account 
may be locked. If you supply correct credentials and the login is refused, contact your system 
administrator rather than repeatedly attempting to log in.

The first time you visit the appliance home page during a web session, you can view information about 
your last login session for that appliance. You can see the following information about your last login:

the day of the week, month, date, and year of the login

the appliance-local time of the login in 24-hour notation

the host and domain name last used to access the appliance

By default, your session automatically logs you out after 1 hour of inactivity, unless you are otherwise 
configured to be exempt from session timeout. Users with the Administrator role can change the session 
timeout interval in the system policy. For more information, see 

.

Note that some processes that take a significant amount of time may cause your web browser to display 
a message that a script has become unresponsive. If this occurs, make sure you allow the script to 
continue until it finishes.

For fresh installations (new or reimaged) of the system on an appliance, you must log in using the 
administrative (

admin

) user account to complete the initial setup process, which is described in the 

FireSIGHT System Installation Guide. After you create other user accounts as described in 

, you and other users should use those accounts to log in to the web interface.

Any

Direct your browser to 

https://hostname/

, where 

 corresponds to the host name of the 

appliance.

The Login page appears.

In the 

 and 

 fields, type your user name and password. User names are case sensitive.

If your organization uses SecurID® tokens when logging in, append the token to your SecurID PIN and 
use that as your password to log in. For example, if your PIN is 

1111

 and the SecurID token is 

222222

, 

type 

1111222222

. You must have already generated your SecurID PIN before you can log into the 

FireSIGHT System.

The default start page appears. If you selected a custom home page for your user account, that page is 
displayed instead. See
