In the AWS portal, navigate to CloudFormation section. Select the stack where ICS is deployed and then click on the ‘Outputs’ tab. Note down the ICS management, internal and external address from the table as shown in figure.

Use the credentials provided in the provisioning parameters to log in as the administrator in the ICS Admin interface with URL https://<PCS-IP>/admin. The default ICS Admin UI user configured in the CloudFormation config file is: user ‘admin’ and password ‘password1234’.

The administrator can configure Active Directory located in the corporate network for user authentication. The Ivanti Connect Secure Virtual Appliance administrator can check troubleshooting tools provided in the Ivanti Connect Secure admin UI (System > Maintenance > Troubleshooting), to verify whether Ivanti Connect Secure is able to reach other cloud resources as well as corporate resources. For this, AWS network administrator needs to ensure that all other resources have Ivanti Connect Secure Internal interface as its default gateway.
