How to setup Chef management console for Chef Server(existing one spun up using AWS OpsWorks)

Question

This is my first time working with AWS OpsWorks.

I spun up a AWS OpsWorks instance(consists of Chef Automate and Chef server). I have an existing chef server URL mentioned in my knife.rb file - " https://chef-automate-xxxxxxxxx.us-east-1.opsworks-cm.io/organizations/default ". I need to setup a chef management console for the chef server to manage my nodes, granting access to users etc.

How do I setup a chef management console for the above specified chef-server?

Can someone please give me an overview of the setup? Or share a link to the documentation that might be of use.

Thanks in advance,

John

If you have purchased Chef Automate, you can install Chef Management Console on your node with the following commands:

chef-server-ctl install chef-manage

chef-server-ctl reconfigure

chef-manage-ctl reconfigure

You can find more installation information by following the chef server installation documentation .
