Login

In this section we assume that your VM is ready. You can login into the GUI using the Web Browser (Google Chrome) for further configuration of KHIKA. Note: KHIKA does not support any browser apart from Google Chrome.

Open the Google Chrome browser and enter IP address of KHIKA server. The URL is in the format : "https://IP_address_of_KHIKA_App_Server"

Note that the certificate for the web server is self-signed and hence the browse will warn you at this. You may ignore this warning and proceed.
