After the system administrator has installed the platform, you need to register and activate the platform and set it up for use. Follow these instructions to get the platform up and running.

Initiate platform activation

1. Go to https://<FQDN>/console in a browser.

Activate the Lequinox platform

2. Enter your provided national node API key to register and activate the Lequinox platform in the National node.

The National node API key is supplied by your Lequinox platform provider.

3. Click Register, you are redirected to the form for creating the platform organisation.

Create the platform organisation

4. Enter the requested information about your organisation.
5. In the Support section, enter the contact information for your organisation's support/helpdesk.
6. In the Platform manager section, enter your information as platform manager. In the platform organisation, you will have Platform administrator access in the Lequinox console.

It is very important that the name and email address of you as a Platform manager are correct.

7. Click Create. An email with an invitation to activate your account is sent to the registered Platform manager email address, and the Lequinox console sign-in page is displayed in your browser. It might take a while to create the platform organisation, so please be patient.

Activate your account

8. Go to your email inbox, open the Activate your account email, and click Activate account. You are redirected to your default web browser.

9. Set a strong passphrase.

10. Read the Lequinox service end user agreement and click Accept.

Activation is now complete. You are redirected to the Sign-in page and an Activation complete email with your user name is sent to your registered platform manager email address.

Add your platform license number

In line with your service license agreement, you can create a support ticket on Support centre if you experience problems with your platform. For access to support centre, your platform provider needs to supply you with login credentials. You can only create tickets for platforms owned by your organisation.

11. Sign in to the Lequinox console.

12. Go to Settings > My organisation, and click the License information tab.

13. Enter your platform license number, and click Update. The platform license number is instantly readily available on the About page for Lequinox console users on your platform.

Your license number can be found in your service license agreement. It must be entered in the format ‘73401662 xxxxx’, with a blank space before the first eight and the last five digits.

Update console agreement

The Lequinox console is your interface towards the Lequinox platform. Here you can manage users, applications and more. When activating your console access during account activation, you sign a standard Lequinox platform end user agreement. You should create a new agreement that is to apply to users in your platform.

14. Go to the Standard user agreement resource and download the standard agreement.

15. Update the agreement so that it reflects the terms that are to apply for additional console users in your platform.

As a minimum, update the organisation name and the name of the service provided, in this case, the Lequinox console.

16. Follow the instructions to create a new agreement. Use the title and content from the updated Word document.

17. Follow the instructions to edit a user group to update the system user group ‘Console user group’ with the newly created agreement.

Invite additional Lequinox platform managers

To secure access and ensure that there is always a platform manager in your organisation who can access the platform, we strongly recommend that you invite additional Lequinox platform managers.

18. Invite additional platform managers by adding a role account for each of them.

Take care to use these settings when inviting your fellow Lequinox platform managers:

Role: Platform manager
Console administration level: Platform administrator
‘Allow sign-up to the Lequinox console’ check-box: Selected by default for administrator administration levels.

After setup

You are now ready to invite organisation managers, customer organisations and perform other steps that can be carried out after platform setup.
