Manage appliances

You can monitor and manage integration appliances with Sophos Appliance Manager.

When you create a new appliance, we set up the account you need to use Appliance Manager.

We show you the account details when you save your settings. The username is zadmin, and the password is displayed in a pop-up message.

Store the password safely. It's only shown once.

We also set up accounts for existing appliances. The username is zadmin, and you'll be able to set the password the first time you open Appliance Manager.
