5 Getting started
Once you installed the Acronis vmProtect 9 or deployed your Acronis vmProtect 9 Virtual Appliance,
you can run the Acronis vmProtect 9 Web Console. The Web Console will be opened in the default
Internet browser.
Note that the Acronis vmProtect 9 web server (installed on the Agent side) which provides the user
interface uses self-signed certificates. As a result, you may receive the “There is a problem with this
website’s security certificate” error message when connecting to Acronis Agent via your Internet
Browser. To avoid this message, you should add this self-signed certificate to the list of trusted
certificates. The exact instructions depend on the type of Internet browser you are using. You can
refer to your browser’s help for further information.
Certificate error message
Once the Web Console opens in the Internet browser, you will get a login screen where you need to
provide user credentials for Acronis vmProtect 9. In case of Virtual Appliance-based installation, the
default login:password is admin:root. In case of Windows Agent-based installation, you should
provide the credentials of any Windows user who has “Administrator” privileges on the machine
with the Agent installed. The user should also be granted with “Log on locally”, “Access this
computer from the network” and “Log on as a batch job” privileges. These privileges can be checked
from Start -> Run -> secpolmsc -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
