Accessing the Cloud Manager user interface

How to navigate to and log in to the Cloud Manager user interface.

1. Open a browser and enter the URL for the cloud-admin-ui endpoint followed by /admin. Note that this is secure connection that uses HTTPs, for example: https://<cloud-admin-ui>/admin.
2. Enter the Cloud Administrator user name and password.
   • Kubernetes and VMware

     If you are logging in for the first time, enter admin for the user name and 7iron-hide for the password. Otherwise, enter admin for the user name and your own password.

   • OpenShift

     The default user name is admin. Run the following words to retrieve the default password, which is generated automatically during deployment:

     oc get secret -n <namespace> | grep mgmt-admin-pass
     oc get secret -n <namespace> <secret_name_from_previous command> -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d && echo ""

3. If your cloud contains multiple user registries, as configured on the Settings > User Registries screen, then choose the user registry that contains your login credentials. You might need to ask your administrator which user registry is appropriate for your account.
4. Click Sign In.
   Important: The first time that you access the cloud console, you must, for security reasons, enter a new password and your email address. If you forget your password and request a password reset, the notification email is sent to this email address. The email is sent by the email server that is configured in the Notifications section of the cloud Settings.
