Download the Root CA Certificate
To access the Device Console, the computer (host) that you use to access the Device Console must have the root CA
certificate from the Roving Edge Device. The root CA certificate is the top most certificate in the certificate chain of
trust and is used by your computer to verify the authenticity of the Device Console.
Perform the tasks in this section to download the root CA certificate and sign in to the device UI for the first time.
Prerequisites
To perform the tasks in this section, you need the following Roving Edge device items:
• IP address
• hostname
• User name
• Password
Oracle provides these items to your organization when Oracle provisions your device request.
Ensure Your Host Has OpenSSL Installed
Most Linux and MacOS computers have OpenSSL installed. For Microsoft Windows, you might need to install
OpenSSL.
To determine if OpenSSL is installed on Microsoft Windows, search for openssl. If OpenSSL isn't installed, follow
your organization's best practices for installing OpenSSL.
The following links take you to popular OpenSSL sites from which OpenSSL can be obtained:

Task 1 - Configure the hosts File
Adding the device IP address and hostname to the hosts file enables your computer to find the Device Console IP
address regardless of the DNS configuration.
Use one of the following procedures based on your OS.
Linux
1. In a text editor, open the /etc/hosts file. The following example uses the vim editor:
sudo vim /etc/hosts
2. Enter your administrator password.
3. Open a new line and enter the device IP address and hostname. Example:
198.168.0.1
