Logging in to the Cluster Management Console

After the management server is configured and after clusters are configured for management, you can log in to the Cluster Management Console for regular use. Logging in to the Cluster Management Console requires that you provide a management server user name and password, a domain, and a domain type. A management server user can be added by the initial user or by any other management server user that has administrator privilege.

See About the initial user.

See Symantec Product Authentication Service for information on management server user accounts, authentication brokers, and other security requirements.

After logging in, you can view and manage any clusters that have been configured in the local management server or in a peer management server. This includes clusters that are configured at locations other than your own.

 To log in to the Cluster Management Console

1. Connect to the Cluster Management Console.

   See Connecting to the Cluster Management Console.

   The URL is:

   https://hostname:14443/

2. In the Select Language drop-down menu, select a language.
3. Enter the user name and password for the initial user or for another user account that has been added to the Cluster Management Console database.
4. Enter the domain name associated with the user account into the Domain box.

   If the user account is not a domain account, enter the fully-qualified system name of the management server host. (The management server host is the system on which the management server is installed).

5. Do one of the following:
   • If you are logging in using the authentication broker on the management server host, click Login. This action accepts the default settings for Domain Type and Authentication Broker for the system.

     On Solaris platforms, the default settings are Automatic for Domain Type and localhost:2821 for Authentication Broker. On Windows platforms, the default settings are Automatic for Domain Type and 127.0.0.1:2821 for Authentication Broker.

   • If you are logging in using a remote authentication broker, specify the following details for the remote authentication broker host system and then click Login:
     • On the Domain Type drop-down menu, select the domain type of the remote broker host.
     • In the Authentication Broker box, enter the remote host name, a : (colon), and then the port number used by the remote authentication broker.
