Now that we have Ansible Tower installed, there are a few more steps we need to perform in order to complete the installation. The first step is to log in; to do this, enter the following URL in your browser: https://10.20.30.40.nip.io/. When you first open Tower, you will be presented with a warning about the SSL certificate; this is because the certificate that was installed during the deployment is self-signed. It is safe to proceed.
You should now see a login page; enter the USERNAME as admin and a PASSWORD of password, which is what we set in the inventory file earlier:
Then click on the SIGN IN button; this will take you to a page that instructs you to enter a license file:
Clicking the REQUEST LICENSE button will take you to https://www.ansible.com/license/; here, you have the option of requesting two types of license for your installation. We are going to be requesting the FREE ANSIBLE TOWER TRIAL - LIMITED FEATURES UP TO 10 NODES license. Select the license type, complete the form, and submit it as prompted.
After a short while, you should receive a few emails, one of which welcomes you to your Ansible Tower installation. The other email contains a license file. Make a copy of the attached license file and use the BROWSE button on the Tower License page to upload it. Also review and agree to the end-user agreement. Once you have uploaded the license file and agreed to the END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT, click on SUBMIT.
After a few seconds, you will be presented with your first look at Ansible Tower:
Now we have Ansible Tower installed, we can look at running our first playbook.
