The CloudPlatform web-based UI is available in the following popular browsers:

•Mozilla Firefox 22 or greater

•Apple Safari, all versions packaged with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or greater

•Google Chrome, all versions starting from the year 2012

6.2. Log In to the UI

CloudPlatform provides a web-based UI that can be used by both administrators and end users. The appropriate version of the UI is displayed depending on the credentials used to log in.

The URL to log in to CloudPlatform is: (substitute your own management server IP address)

http://<management-server-ip-address>:8080/client

On a fresh Management Server installation, a guided tour splash screen appears. On later visits, you’ll see a login screen where you specify the following to proceed to your Dashboard:

Username

The user ID of your account. The default username is admin.

Password

The password associated with the user ID. The password for the default username is password.

Domain

If you are a root user, leave this field blank.

If you are a user in the sub-domains, enter the full path to the domain, excluding the root domain.

For example, suppose multiple levels are created under the root domain, such as Comp1/hr. The users in the Comp1 domain should enter Comp1 in the Domain field, whereas the users in the Comp1/ sales domain should enter Comp1/sales.

For more guidance about the choices that appear when you log in to this UI, see Logging In as the Root Administrator.

6.2.1. End User's UI Overview

The CloudPlatform UI helps users of cloud infrastructure to view and use their cloud resources, including virtual machines, templates and ISOs, data volumes and snapshots, guest networks, and IP addresses. If the user is a member or administrator of one or more CloudPlatform projects, the UI can provide a project-oriented view.
