security reasons. It is required that each Node hostname can be resolved to its
IP address that will be used to contact the Rudder Server.
Similarly, each Rudder Node must be able to resolve the Rudder Root Server
hostname given in the step described in <<initial-config>>.
If you can not make every node resolution consistent, it is possible to remove
this constraint by unticking "Use reverse DNS lookups on nodes to reinforce
authentication to policy server:" in the Administration - Settings tab of the

==== Initial configuration of your Rudder Root Server
After the installation, you have to configure some system elements, by launching
the following initialisation script:
----
/opt/rudder/bin/rudder-init
----
This script will ask you to fill in the following details:
=====
Allowed networks:: A list of IP networks authorized to connect to the server.
It uses the network/CIDR mask notation, for instance +192.168.0.0/24+ or
+10.0.0.0/8+.
To add several networks, first type the first network, then press
the return key - the script will ask if you wish to add some more networks.
Also, the allowed networks can be adjusted later in the web interface
in the Administration - Settings tab without having to run the script
again.
=====
[TIP]
=====
In case of typing error, or if you wish to reconfigure Rudder, you can
execute this script again as many times as you want.
=====
10_installation/10_install_server/19_validation.txt
==== Validate the installation
Once all these steps have been completed, use your web browser to go to the URL
given on the step described in <<initial-config, the section about initial configuration>>.
You should see a loading screen, then a login prompt. The default login is "admin" with
password "admin", authenticating you in the Rudder web interface with full administrative privileges.
The setup of the Rudder server is now over. If you plan to manage hundreds or thousands of Nodes,
please note that some <<_performance_tuning, performance tuning>> can be necessary on the system.
