Post-installation configuration (optional)

The installer created a preliminary configuration. If your system is still not operational, you may need to configure the following parameters manually.

Search for contact-points =, located under the persistence esi.persistence.datastax-java-driver section, and replace localhost with ip_address_of_cassandra_node. Search for url =, located in the esi.auth section. Enter your server’s IP address or FQDN (if accessing via FQDN), for example, https://127.0.0.1:8443.
