Accessing the Cloud Manager user interface

How to navigate to and login to the Cloud Manager user interface.

Procedure

Open a browser and enter the URL for the cloud-admin-ui endpoint followed by /admin. Note that this is a secure connection that uses HTTPs, for example: https://<cloud-admin-ui>/admin.
- Kubernetes, OpenShift, Cloud Pak for Integration installations: The cloud-admin-ui endpoint is specified in the Management subsystem CR, in the Endpoints section, for example:
```
Endpoints:
  ...
  Name:  admin
  Type:  UI
  Uri:   https://example.com/admin
  ...
```
Enter the Cloud Administrator user name and password.
- Kubernetes, and OpenShift individual Management subsystem install:
  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 top-level CR install:
  The default user name is admin. If you are logging in for the first time, run the following commands to retrieve the initial 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 ""
```
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.
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.

Results

The Cloud Manager user interface opens to the home page, as shown in the following screen capture:
