After VPN Server is installed, there are several settings that first must be configured. This section describes how to configure these settings with examples of the settings when using SoftEther VPN Server Manager. The same settings can also be configured using vpncmd, so as a basic rule, the corresponding vpncmd command names are also provided. For information about detailed vpncmd operations, please refer to 6. Command Line Management Utility Manual.
7.4.1 Changing the Manager Password
At the time VPN Server is installed, the manager password for the entire VPN Server is not set. We recommend setting the manager password as soon as you install VPN Server.
The following alert is displayed if the VPN Server manager password is not set when connecting to VPN Server with VPN Server Manager.

In vpncmd, use the ServerPasswordSet command.
7.4.2 Creating a Virtual Hub
By default, only one Virtual Hub, named "DEFAULT", is registered to VPN Server. You can use this Virtual Hub as is. You can also delete this Virtual Hub and create a Virtual Hub with a different name.
For the detailed operation of this setting, please refer to 3. SoftEther VPN Server Manual.
7.4.3 VPN Server Easy Setup
If you start the VPN Server for the first time or when there is no configuration file, the "Easy Setup" screen will open, which allows you to easily set up the VPN Server as a "Remote Access to LAN" or "LAN to LAN Bridge". Clicking "Close" will close the setup screen, allowing you to configure all settings manually. Select the option appropriate for your VPN Server usage and click the "Next" button.
