Accessing the Cloud Manager user interface

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

Before you begin

To open the Cloud Manager user interface, enter the URL for the <cloud-admin-ui> endpoint entered during installation, followed by /admin. The <cloud-admin-ui> endpoint is configured in the Management subsystem using the following command: apicup subsys set mgmt cloud-admin-ui <endpoint>.

The first time that you access the Cloud Manager user interface, you enter admin for the user name and 7iron-hide for the password. You will be prompted to change the Cloud Administrator password and email address.

Procedure

  1. Open a browser and enter the URL for the cloud-admin-ui endpoint followed by /admin. Note that this is secure connection using HTTPs, for example: https://<cloud-admin-ui>/admin.
  2. Enter the Cloud Administrator user name and password. 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 password> for the password.
  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 may 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 configured in the Notifications section of the cloud Settings.
