Step 3: Configure

Configuration of the appliance is done in 2 different interfaces:

  • Edge Manager: the interface for system and network admins. It contains mainly functionality to keep your TrendMiner installation healthy and up-to-date.

  • ConfigHub: the interface for application admins. It contains mainly TrendMiner specific configuration options.

A more detailed comparison between Edge Manager and ConfigHub can be found here: Edge Manager versus ConfigHubEdge Manager versus ConfigHub

Edge Manager

As a network administrator or IT expert, Edge Manager will be your portal to monitor the health of the TrendMiner server and keep it up to date.

Type ‘http://<trendminer_address>:8080’ in the browser navigation bar to navigate to Edge Manager.

The default password to enter Edge Manager is "admin".

Note that as long as SSL is not configured (or when there are issues with the SSL certificates) Edge Manager can only be accessed via http and not via https.

Tip

After successful configuration of SSL (and as long as the certificates are valid) Edge Manager can also be accessed via https://<trendminer_address>/edge

As soon as SSL is enabled your browser will likely redirect you to https://<trendminer_address>:8080, even when you explicitly add http in the navigation bar.

This will result in a page showing ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The easiest way to open Edge Manager anyway is to use incognito mode/inprivate browsing. When switching to incognito mode/inprivate browsing make sure to not browse to https links on this domain as all http calls will be redirected to https as of that moment.

Alternatively you can use the instructions below connect via http for this domain.

Chrome

  1. In your navigation bar, enter chrome://net-internals/#hsts

  2. Under "Delete domain security policies" enter your TrendMiner domain in the input field (without protocol or port), e.g. "mycompany.trendminer.com"

  3. Click "Delete"

chrome_hsts

Now you should be able to browse to Edge Manager. Note that as soon as you browse to a https page on this domain again, the setting will get lost and you need to repeat the above procedure to access Edge Manager.

Edge

  1. In your navigation bar, enter edge://settings/privacy

  2. Click on "Choose what to clear"

  3. Check "Cached images and files"

  4. Click "Clear now"

ConfigHub

As a TrendMiner administrator or IT expert, the ConfigHub page will be your portal to configure any data connectivity, user management strategy, security settings and more.

Type ‘https://<trendminer_address>/confighub’ in the browser navigation bar to navigate to ConfigHub.

Each user with the 'system administrator' role can log in in ConfigHub. There is 1 hardcoded user with username 'admin' which always has ConfigHub access and which can be used in case all other users have lost their ConfigHub access.

The password of the 'admin' user can be reset in Edge Manager.
