Using CLI

As a system administrator you can use the apcli administrative command line interface to manage and monitor the system with commands.

Procedure

Connect to the system through a terminal session with user apadmin or any user from ibmapsysadmins group at:
ssh apadmin@user_defined_IP_address

Default system administrator credentials are apadmin:password. They allow you to access the CLI and the system web console. You can use the command line to change the default password as described in Managing users from CLI.

System users such as apadmin and other external LDAP/AD users can only login to the Cloud Pak for Data System control nodes. Worker nodes are not exposed for user operations.

For information on apcli commands, see System command line.
