Getting Started Guide

Overview

RemoteAdmin has quite a few dependencies that must be met before you can actually use it. Here are a list of things you will need to have setup:

1. A puppet environment with working puppet master
2. A foreman server using the 1.0 release or greater
3. Your puppet master(s) configured to use foreman as an ENC
4. Access to your foreman server either through VPN, wifi connection or direct https connectivity.
5. RemoteAdmin installed on your mobile or desktop device

If you are not familiar with configuration management software such as puppet you should take the time to learn more about puppet as it's a big shift in system management.

5. If using authentication, please add your user credentials in the authentication setting
6. If using https, be sure to set the https setting on and use specify port 443 or whatever is configured on foreman server
