Step 6: Start and secure the RLM Server

  1. After the last command, if a browser doesn't open, open one manually and go to:
    https://localhost:5054
  2. Sign in with the default credentials:
    1. Username: admin
    2. Password: admin
  3. Immediately change the password to prevent the service from terminating after 10 minutes.
  4. In the left sidebar, navigate to Reread/Restart Servers and select Reread/restart to load the new license settings.
