Using Edge

Getting started

Read about the concepts behind the Cumulocity platform. Get familiar with the platform UI or directly get started by connecting your phone.

See Getting started.

Branding

With the Branding feature, you can fully customize the look of your tenant to your own preferences. To access the Branding feature:

Log into the Management tenant using the management domain (for example, management.myown.iot.com) and administrator credentials created during the installation. For more information on logging in to the Management tenant, see To access Edge

Switch to the Administration application using the application switcher at the right of the top bar Application switcher.

Go to Settings > Enterprise tenant and follow the instructions detailed in Branding.

Developing Cumulocity web applications

If you develop a Cumulocity web application using the Web SDK, for an Edge appliance configured with a certificate not trusted by Node.js (for example, a self-signed certificate), then you must ensure that Node.js trusts the root certificate.

To add the Edge appliance’s self-signed certificate to the Node.js trust store, set the environment variable NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to the path of the certificate before executing the npm commands.

Example:

On Windows Powershell:

$env:NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=<path-to-the-certificate>\certificate.pem

On Windows command prompt:

set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=<path-to-the-certificate>\certificate.pem

On Linux platforms:

export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=<path-to-the-certificate>/certificate.pem
