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"

The default self-signed certificates are installed in following directory: /opt/KHIKA/3rdpartyUnix/Apache24/conf/
Note that KHIKA supports PEM-Format SSL certificates. Please refer to the documentation of your certificate vendor to convert your certificates into the PEM format, if they are in any other format.
- After you have the .crt (i.e. the certificate) and the .key (i.e. private key) files, copy them in /opt/KHIKA/3rdpartyUnix/Apache24/conf/ directory.
- Change the filenames (and directory paths if you have copied the certificate and key anywhere else) if required in kibana.yml file
- Make sure that the ‘server.ssl.certificate’ stanza points to the full path of the certificate and ‘server.ssl.key’ stanza points to the full path of the private keys.
- After editing and saving kibana.yml, come to the command prompt. Enter cd /opt/KHIKA and fire command “./khika_appserver.sh stop”
- Wait for some time (2 to 3 minutes)
- Fire command ‘./khika_appserver.sh start’ from /opt/KHIKA directory
- Connect using the fresh session of the browser
- Login using default credentials (i.e. username = admin, password = admin).
