PowerProtect Data Manager provides a web-based UI that you can use to manage and monitor system features and settings from any location over a network.
Steps
From a host that has network access to the virtual appliance, use Google Chrome to connect to the appliance:
https://<appliance_hostname>
NOTE You can specify the hostname or the IP address of the appliance.
Log in with your username and password.
Usernames follow the format
user[@domain], where
domain is an optional identifier that associates the user with a particular
identity provider.
For example:
jsmith or
administrator@test-lab.
If you do not supply a domain, the authentication service checks the default
identity provider.
If you supply a domain, the authentication service consults the external
identity provider for that domain and determines whether to allow the login.
When the
identity provider validates the credentials, the authentication service issues a user token. The
PowerProtect Data Manager UI uses the token information to authorize activities.
Unless you have changed the system configuration, the default
identity provider is the local
identity provider.
The
PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide provides more information about the available user roles and their associated permissions. The associated roles for an account determine what parts of the UI a user can see and use, and what operations a user can perform.
If this is your first time accessing the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, an unsigned certificate warning might appear in the web browser.
The security certificate that encrypts communication between the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI and the web browser is self-signed. A self-signed certificate is signed by the web server that hosts the secure web page. There is nothing wrong with this certificate. This certificate is sufficient to establish an encrypted channel between the web browser and the server. However, it is not signed by a trusted authority.
The
Getting Started page appears.
The left pane provides links to the available menu items. Expand a menu item for more options.
The icons in the
PowerProtect Data Manager banner provide additional options.
NOTE If the user interface is left unattended for more than 30 minutes and times out, the login page might display with the error
503: Unknown Error. If this occurs, dismiss the error and log in again with your username and password.
