First time login is typically run using the CLI and is guided with a set of prompts. You can alternatively configure a script to run, thereby enabling you to automate the process. This may be useful when provisioning a number of SecureSphere gateways at once.

- This procedure can only be conducted when running first time login on a gateway. It cannot be conducted to install a management server.
