First Steps
===========

You installed privacyIDEA successfully according to :ref:`installation` and
created an administrator using the command ``pi-manage admin`` as e.g.
described in :ref:`install_ubuntu`.

These first steps will guide you through the tasks of logging in to the
management web UI, attaching your first users and enrolling the first token.

   login
   realm
   token

After these first steps you will be able to start attaching applications to
privacyIDEA in order to add two factor authentication to those applications.
You can 

 * use a PAM module to authenticate with OTP at SSH or local 
   login 
 * or the RADIUS plugin to configure your firewall or VPN to use OTP,
 * or use an Apache2 plugin to do Basic Authentication with OTP.
 * You can also setup different web applications to use OTP.

To attach applications read the chapter :ref:`application_plugins`.

You may also go on reading the chapter :ref:`configuration` to get a deeper
insight in the configuration possibilities.
