Creating a VM from the Image
After obtaining the image, you can create a VM from it. For more information about creating a VM from the image, refer to the following link.
To create a VM:
Login in to the Azure homepage.
Click Images.
The list of all the images appear.
Select the required image.
Click Create VM.
Enter details in the required fields.
Select SSH public key in the Authentication type option. Do not select the Password based mechanism as an authentication type. Protegrity recommends not using this type as a security measure.
In the Username text box, enter the name of a user. Be aware, this user will not have SSH access to the appliance. Refer to the following section Created OS user and SSH access to appliance for more details.
This user is added as an OS level user in the appliance. Ensure that the following usernames are not provided in the Username text box:
Select the required SSH public key source.
Enter the required information in the Disks, Networking, Management, and Tags sections.
Click Review + Create.
The VM is created from the image.
After the VM is created, you can access the appliance from the CLI Manager or Web UI.
Created OS user and SSH access to appliance
The OS user that is created in step 7 does not have SSH access to the appliance. If you want to provide SSH access to this user, login to the appliance as another administrative user and toggle SSH access. In addition, update the user to permit Linux shell access (/bin/sh).
