SSL Orchestrator Initial Setup
========================================================================================

Let's first get logged into the BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator system.

#. In the **UDF Console**, navigate to the **Deployment** tab.

#. Select **ACCESS > TMUI** for the **BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator** resource (*Components > BIG-IP SSL Orchestrator > ACCESS > TMUI*).

#. A new tab will open and present the **BIG-IP** login screen. Log in as ``admin`` with password ``admin``.

   .. attention::

      Simple passwords were used in this lab environment in order to make it easier for students to access the infrastructure. This does not follow recommended security practices of using strong passwords.

      However, keep in mind that this lab environment is only accessible via an authenticated UDF login.

#. In the left-hand menu, click on **SSL Orchestrator** to see the available options.

#. Review the **Required Configuration** section (to the right of the **Configuration Options** section). You will see that system-level **DNS** and **Route** settings have already been configured, but **NTP** is unconfigured.

#. Click on the **Click to configure** link beside **NTP**. This will open a new browser tab referencing the **System > Configuration > Device - NTP** configuration settings.

#. Enter ``0.pool.ntp.org`` in the **Address** field and click on the **Add** button. 

#. Repeat this step with ``1.pool.ntp.org`` and ``2.pool.ntp.org``.

#. Click on the **Update** button to apply the settings.

#. Close the **NTP** tab to return to the main SSL Orchestrator tab. You should now see that all of the requirements have been satisfied.

   .. note::
      The SSL Orchestrator **Guided Configuration** UI also provides an opportunity to define topology-specific DNS and Route settings later in the workflow.


#. The **Configuration Options** section contains some basic overview information about various deployment Topologies that are supported. Click on the **left** or **right** navigation buttons to cycle through the options and read about the topology characteristics.

#. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the **Next** button to start creating a topology.
