Overview
The Security Console is a component that customers must run in order to use Rapid7's InsightVM or Nexpose products. Many customers choose to run the Security Console in AWS. It not only eliminates the upkeep that's needed if you were to run the Security Console on a local server, it can also make it easier to configure communications with Rapid7 scan engines running on AWS.
This listing is for a pre-baked AMI of our Security Console. It allows you to quickly get up and running with a Console in AWS. It operates identically to the versions of the Console that can be downloaded directly from Rapid7.
Highlights
- Easily setup and run the Rapid7 Security Console for InsightVM or Nexpose on AWS.
- Connect to scan engines in AWS, other cloud environments, and/or on-premise networks.

Console Credentials Incorrect
I followed the instructions on the Marketplace AMI:
Connected to the Console on Port 3780
Attempted to login for the first time using:
- username: nxadmin
- password: <instance ID>
When I try to access the Console it shows the error:
The user name or password is invalid.
Never actually loaded
Says to wait 20 mins, I waited an hour. Never actually connected. I miss the old days of an actual computer.
