CloudStack 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 UI is available in popular browsers including IE7, IE8, IE9, Firefox 3.5+, Firefox 4, Safari 4, and Safari 5. The URL is: (substitute your own management server IP address)
|

</div><pre class="programlisting">http://<management-server-ip-address>:8080/client</pre><div class="para">
|
||
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:
|
||
</div><div class="formalpara"><h5 class="formalpara" id="idp27394904">Username</h5>
|
||
The user ID of your account. The default username is admin.
|
||
</div><div class="formalpara"><h5 class="formalpara" id="idp21659472">Password</h5>
|
||
The password associated with the user ID. The password for the default username is password.
|
||
</div><div class="formalpara"><h5 class="formalpara" id="idp45767760">Domain</h5>
|
||
If you are a root user, leave this field blank.
|
||
</div><div class="para">
|
||
If you are a user in the sub-domains, enter the full path to the domain, excluding the root domain.
|
||
</div><div class="para">
|
||
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.

The CloudStack 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 CloudStack projects, the UI can provide a project-oriented view.

The CloudStack UI helps the CloudStack administrator provision, view, and manage the cloud infrastructure, domains, user accounts, projects, and configuration settings. The first time you start the UI after a fresh Management Server installation, you can choose to follow a guided tour to provision your cloud infrastructure. On subsequent logins, the dashboard of the logged-in user appears. The various links in this screen and the navigation bar on the left provide access to a variety of administrative functions. The root administrator can also use the UI to perform all the same tasks that are present in the end-user’s UI.
