Initial Setup¶

1. Access the f5-use-cases container¶

• From an RDP client open an RDP session to the Window Jumphost
• Open Putty from the Jumphost and connect to the f5-use-cases container
• Password for root is default

2. Edit the global parameters file with your personal information¶

• Once you have connected to the container, edit the encrypted global parameters file /home/snops/host_volume/f5-rs-global-vars-vault.yaml by copying and pasting:

ansible-vault edit --vault-password-file /var/jenkins_home/.vault_pass.txt /home/snops/host_volume/f5-rs-global-vars-vault.yaml

• Once in edit mode - type i to activate INSERT mode and configure your personal information by changing the following variable: vault_dac_user - vault_dac_user - is used as a Tenant ID to differentiate between multiple deployments in Splunk - vault_dac_email - is used in this environment for Slack, can be arbitrary - vault_dac_password - is used in this environment for Slack, can be arbitrary
