Modify Administrative Account (v2.1)

If you have already deployed the template and now want to change the password for the administrative account or create a new administrative user account on the VM-Series firewall, you must generate a new API key and update the template stack with the new API key for the administrative user account.
  1. Log in to the web interface of the firewall and change the credentials for an existing administrative user or create a new account.
  2. Generate the API key.
  3. Update the API key in the stack to ensure that newly launched firewalls have the updated administrator account.
