First Run Setup

Relaywright shows the first-run setup page when no administrator account exists and no bootstrap admin was configured during install.

Create The First Admin

Open the admin UI, usually:

https://localhost:5443

Create the first administrator account. This account is required before the web interface, relay settings, and diagnostics can be used.

Use a strong password and store it in your normal infrastructure credential system.

HTTPS Certificate Setup

During first-run setup, Relaywright can configure a managed HTTPS certificate for the admin web interface.

Options:

  • generate a self-signed certificate for lab and test machines;
  • upload a .pfx or .p12 certificate bundle;
  • upload PEM certificate and private key files;
  • skip certificate setup and keep the current deployment certificate.

Certificate changes are picked up after the service restarts.

Next Steps

  1. Review Admin HTTPS And Certificates.
  2. Configure Upstream SMTP.
  3. Add Trusted Networks.
  4. Set a global Submission Policy.
  5. Run Diagnostics before pointing devices at the relay.
