  • Obtain the login password.
    • If the authentication mode is SSH key pair, use the key pair selected during BMS creation. If your private key file is lost, you are advised to enable Data Encryption Workshop to reset the key pair. For details, see Binding a Key Pair.
    • If the authentication mode is password, use the password set during the BMS creation. If you forget the password, you can reset it. For details, see Resetting the BMS Password with a Few Clicks.
  • Ensure that an EIP is bound to the BMS (not required for remote login).

    If you want to log in to a BMS using an SSH key pair, or a username and a password, you need to bind an EIP to the BMS.

    For details, see Bind an EIP to a BMS.
