Enter a name for your physical hosts in the Label field.

Enter the FQDN or IP address of the physical host in the Host field. 

Enter the username (generally root) and the password you have set during the XCP-NG install. 

Unless you have already added a custom SSL cert on the physical host, make sure you toggle the Unauthorized Certification button. Otherwise, Xen Orchestra will not be able to verify and successfully connect to the XCP-NG physical host.

Once finished, click Connect
