CMS on VMware Work Station

[NetAdminCisco1]

Dear All,

I am preparing a lab for CMS on my laptop using VMware work station. I have installed the CMS server and i have been able to login the CLI of the CMS server.

Now i need to access the CMS through GUI, i mean webadmin for CMS. I would appreciate how can i enable the webadmin on CMS as i read in the document that to access the webapge i need to assign a certificate. 

So can anyone please guide me how can i assign the certificate to CMS and access the webpage. what steps are needed to accomplish this task

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

This is best guide for CMS which i saw https://cmslab.ciscolive.com/pod2/intro/landing

Only one drawback - this is for CMS version 2.8

But a lot of company still used this version. And most of the CMS functions same for 2x and 3x.

I think it's good point to start learning CMS.

Currently the customers are using the version 3.X and there is a big difference with 2.8, Cisco Web App and XMPP removed, and WebBridge3 introduced with complex certificates based on a certificate chain.

Hello, to enable the webadmin service and the rest of services, you need to prepare appropriate certificates, and to prepare successfully these certificates, read this article which shows in details certificates set up and services activation.
