First sign-in

Open the web UI

Open a URL from --public-url in a browser. On the host of Paron, you can also open https://localhost:<listen port>.

Certificate warning

If Paron has a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, the browser shows no warning.

If not, Paron generates its own certificate, and the browser shows a warning. You have two options:

• Accept the warning in the browser.
• Trust the certificate authority of Paron. Download it from https://<name>/paron-ca.crt and add it to the trusted authorities of your system or your browser.

Caution

Before you trust the certificate, compare its SHA-256 fingerprint with the line in the server log. An attacker in the network can give you a different certificate.

certificate issued under self signed CA SHA256:<fingerprint>

See Certificates.

Sign in

Sign in with the user name paron and the password from the installation.

Set up Paron

After you sign in, the page Overview shows a short list of steps to set up Paron. Paron marks each step as done when it sees the result. To hide the list, select Skip setup.

1. Open the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar, and select My account.
2. In the card Sign-in methods, select Change password next to Password, and type the new password.
3. Set up an authenticator app or add a passkey. See Sign-in methods.
