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

To be able to access the self-service panel

Admin panel

Open TCP port 8800 on the management node by doing the following:

  1. On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, click Edit.
  2. Add the Self-service panel traffic type to your public network by selecting the corresponding check box.
  3. 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
