Once the installation is completed successfully, the scripts continues by offering the basic
configuration wizard. Confirm the action. This opens the wizard where you can browse by the
Tab key and confirm settings by Enter:
1. On the first page, create an email domain and specify Internet name of the server. If you
keep the default settings, the server will not work in the Internet. However, it will be
possible to use this configuration locally.
2. In the next step of the wizard, create an administration account. Keep the Admin as name
and enter password. Memorize the name and password defined in this dialog well since
they will be later used for authentication to theKerio Connect’s administration console.
3. The next dialog of the wizard allows setting of location of the data store. In this directory,
all user accounts and server logs will be stored.
