How Do I Prepare to Log In to a BMS?

Windows

  • Obtain the login password.

    When you create a Windows BMS, you can only select the key pair login. So, before you log in to a Windows BMS, you need to parse the key file into a password. For details, see Obtaining the Password of a Windows BMS.

  • Ensure that an EIP is bound to the BMS.

    For details, see Binding an EIP.

Linux

  • Obtain the login password.
    • If the authentication mode is SSH key pair, use the key pair you selected when you created the BMS. If you have misplaced your private key file, enable Data Encryption Workshop to reset the key pair. For details, see Resetting a Key Pair.
    • If the authentication mode is password, use the password you set when you created the BMS. If you have forgotten the password, you can reset it. For details, see Resetting the BMS Password.
  • Ensure that an EIP is bound to the BMS (not required for remote login).

    If you want to log in to the BMS by using an SSH key pair, or a username and a password, you need to ensure that you have bound an EIP to the BMS.

    For details, see Binding an EIP.
