Providing access to the self-service portal
The self-service panel is a web-based control panel that allows end users to manage virtual objects, such as virtual machines, volumes, virtual networks, and other, in isolated administrative environments.
Limitations
- The default system administrator cannot log in to the self-service portal.
Prerequisites
- The compute cluster is created, as described in Creating the compute cluster.
- Self-service projects and users are created, as described in Configuring multitenancy.
- The needed compute images are shared between all projects or the permission to upload images is granted to self-service users.
- The compute cluster has at least one physical network.
To be able to access the self-service panel
Admin panel
Open TCP port 8800 on the management node by doing the following:
- On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, click Edit.
- Add the Self-service panel traffic type to your public network by selecting the corresponding check box.
- Click Save to apply changes.
You can now access the self-service panel at http://<admin_panel_IP_address>:8800. Use the domain name and user credentials to log in. If high availability for the management node is enabled, log in into the self-service panel by using the virtual address for the admin panel: http://<admin_panel_virtual_IP_address>:8800. You can also use the link in the Panel URLs field on the Settings > System settings > Self-service portal screen.
Command-line interface
Open TCP port 8800 on the management node by adding the Self-service panel traffic type to your public network. For example, run:
# vinfra cluster network set Public --add-traffic-types "Self-service panel"
You can now access the self-service panel at http://<admin_panel_IP_address>:8800. Use the domain name and user credentials to log in. If high availability for the management node is enabled, log in into the self-service panel by using the virtual address for the admin panel: http://<admin_panel_virtual_IP_address>:8800.
