3.2. First steps


Any system account belonging to the sudo group is allowed to log into the Zentyal web interface. The user created while installing Ubuntu Server will belong to the sudo group by default.

To access the Zentyal web interface, point a browser to https://localhost/ or to the IP address of your remote server. As Zentyal creates its own self-signed SSL certificate, you will have to accept a security exception on your browser. Log in with the same username and password used to log in to your server.


Once logged in you will see an overview of your server. Individual modules, such as Antivirus or Firewall, can be installed by simply clicking them and then clicking Install. Selecting server roles like Gateway or Infrastructure can be used to install multiple modules at once.


Modules can also be installed via the command line:


sudo apt install <zentyal-module>


See the list of available modules below.


To enable a module, go to the Dashboard, then click Module Status. Click the check box for the module, then Save changes.


To configure any of the features of your installed modules, click the different sections on the left menu. When you make any changes, a red "Save changes" button appears in the upper right corner.


If you need to customize any configuration file or run certain actions (scripts or commands) to configure features not available on Zentyal, place the custom configuration file templates on /etc/zentyal/stubs/

<module>/ and the hooks on /etc/zentyal/hooks/<module>.<action>. Read more about stubs and hooks here7.
