Using a Web Browser to Log In to Your Bastion Host

You can use mainstream browsers to log in to your bastion host for system management and resource O&M. Web browsers are recommended for system administrator admin or other administrators to manage the system and audit authorization.

Browser-based logins can be authenticated by password, SMS message, mobile OTP, USB key, or OTP token.

  • First-time login users are required to bind a mobile number for password resetting.
  • You can select Local Login, IAM Login (available in V3.3.44.0 or later), or Admin Login (available in V3.3.52.1 or later, but not supported by Kunpeng PBH). If you select IAM Login or Admin Login, no password is required.

Prerequisites

An EIP has been bound to your bastion host.

Procedure

  1. Enter the IP address of your bastion host in the address box of your browser to access the login page.

    URL: https:// EIP of your bastion host, for example, https://10.10.10.10.

    Use supported browsers to access your bastion host. In an incompatible browser, the login verification message may fail to be sent to you, or exceptions may occur after you log in. For recommended browsers, see Restrictions on Using a Bastion Host.
