Best Practices for Security

Create an Admin Identity

The default admin identity is initialized with a password. Store the password in a secure location and create a new admin identity for certificate authentication.

Create an admin2 identity for certificate authentication

ziti edge create identity admin2 --admin --jwt-output-file admin2.jwt

Copy token to the admin device and enroll

ziti edge enroll admin2.jwt

Log in to https://ctrl.ziti.example.com:443 with an identity file

ziti edge login ctrl.ziti.example.com --file admin2.json
