Providing access to the self-service portal

The self-service panel is a web-based control panel that allows end users to manage compute and S3 resources in isolated administrative environments.

Limitations

The default system administrator cannot log in to the self-service portal.

Prerequisites

The storage cluster is created, as described in Deploying the storage cluster.
Self-service projects and users are created, as described in Configuring multitenancy.

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"
