AROVA appliances are deployed inside the Google Cloud infrastructure and have no access from external networks. The Accessing AROVA section of this document describes how to access the AROVA UI through IAP port forwarding; however, HTTP access over internal networks and SSH access to the appliances is still possible.

    • It is recommend to create a dedicated project with access limited by IAM for AROVA deployment.
    • In addition to controlling access to AROVA appliances with IAM/IAP, a separate password-based authentication method has been implemented for further separation of access.
      • The password is set when the deployment script is executed.
      • Logging into AROVA UI:
        • Use the username: "admin".
        • Enter the password that was specified during the deployment.
      • SSH access to the AROVA appliance also requires the admin user’s password.
    • After 60 days, AROVA requires the password to be changed and will begin posting warning messages to the Google Event Console, reminding you to update the password.
      • Log into AROVA and execute the following command to change the admin access password: sudo passwd admin
