Logging In to DeviceManager

Prerequisites

The temporary maintenance terminal used for initial configuration has been connected to the storage device's management port, and the maintenance terminal IP address and management port's default IP address are on the same network segment.

Check that the maintenance terminal meets the requirements of DeviceManager before using it.

• Operating system and browser versions of the maintenance terminal are supported.

  DeviceManager supports multiple types of operating systems and browsers. For details, access Huawei Storage Interoperability Navigator to query.

• The maintenance terminal communicates with the storage system properly.
• The super administrator can only log in to the storage system as a local user.
• To use a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) domain user account to log in to DeviceManager, you must configure the LDAP domain server first, then set the LDAP server parameters and create an LDAP domain user account on the storage system.
• By default, DeviceManager allows a maximum of 32 users to log in concurrently.

Context

• DeviceManager only supports TLS protocols 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.

The super administrator can run change devicemanager tls min_version=? to change the earliest version of TLS supported by DeviceManager. Then, the super administrator must run reboot storage service service_name=devicemanager to restart DeviceManager for the change to take effect.

• The default IP address of network port 0 on management module 0 is 192.168.128.101 and that of network port 0 on management module 1 is 192.168.128.102. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
• The default user name of the super administrator is admin. For the default password, refer to the OceanStor V500R007 Account List.
• This section uses the Windows operating system as an example to explain how to log in to DeviceManager. The login operations on other operating systems are similar.
• If a user does not perform any operations after logging in to the system for a period longer than the timeout limit (the limit is 30 minutes by default and modifiable), the system logs out automatically.
• If an account is not used to log in to the system for a certain period of time (the period is 60 days by default and modifiable), it will be locked and can only be unlocked by the super administrator.

Procedure

1. Run Internet Explorer on the maintenance terminal.
2. Enter https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8088 in the address box and press Enter.
   • XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX indicates the IP address of the management network port of the storage system.
   • In an environment with a firewall, when the system externally provides web services, you need to enable port 8088.
   • The "This page can't be displayed" error may be displayed if you log in to DeviceManager using Internet Explorer. In this case, update your Internet Explorer, use any other browser supported by DeviceManager, or use CLI commands to change the cipher suite to the compatible mode. For details, see What Should I Do If Login to DeviceManager over Internet Explorer Failed?
   • Your web browser may display a message indicating that the website has a security certificate error. If the IP address is correct, you can neglect the prompt and continue to access the storage system. If you want to fix this error, you can have the certificate request file signed by a third-party CA center or use your own CA certificates. For details about how to use your own CA certificate for signature, see How Can I Use Self-Signed Certificates to Fix the Privacy Error Displayed When I Attempt to Log In to DeviceManager?
   • If you have a usable security certificate, you are advised to use corresponding commands to import the certificate to improve system security. For details about the corresponding commands, see the Command Reference.

3. (Optional) Set a login mode and language.
   1. Click Advanced.
   2. Select a login mode from the Authentication mode list.
      • Local user: You will log in to the storage system in local authentication mode.

      The super administrator can only log in to the storage system as a local user.

      • LDAP user: Log in to the storage system using LDAP domain authentication.

        You can log in to the storage system in LDAP domain authentication mode only after the LDAP server is properly configured.

   3. Choose a language from the Language list.

   DeviceManager supports two languages: English and simplified Chinese.

4. Type your user name and password in Username and Password respectively.
   • If you enter wrong passwords for consecutive two times, you need to enter the verification code. In Verification Code, enter the correct verification code.
   • If LDAP User is selected, enter the domain user name and password as well as the domain name.
     • For a domain user of domain authentication server 0, the user can log in to DeviceManager of a storage system typing domain or a combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN in Domain Name.
     • For a domain user of domain authentication server 1, 2, or 3, the user can log in to DeviceManager of a storage system only typing a combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN in Domain Name.
     1. If the base DN of the domain authentication server contains only one dc field, the dc field is used as the combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN.

        For example, if the base DN of the domain authentication server is ou=applications,dc=bigcorp, bigcorp is the combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN.

     2. If the base DN of the domain authentication server contains multiple dc fields, they are combined and then separated by a period (.) to serve as the combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN.

        For example, if the base DN of the domain authentication server is ou=applications,dc=bigcorp,dc=com, bigcorp.com is the combination of the dc field in the domain authentication server's base DN.

   • The default username of the local super administrator is admin. For the default password, refer to the OceanStor V500R007 Account List.
   • If you forget the password as an administrator or a read-only user, the super administrator can run change user to reset the password. If you forget the password as a super administrator (admin by default), the root administrator _super_admin can log in to the CLI through a serial port and run initpasswd to reset the password. For details, see "Resetting the Password of an Administrator or a Read-Only User" or "Resetting the Password of a Super Administrator" in the Administrator Guide.
   • If you enter incorrect passwords for a specified number of times (3 by default, equal to the value specified in Number of Incorrect Passwords on the Login Policy page), the account is automatically locked for 5 minutes. For details on setting the lock period, see "Configuring a Security Policy for System User" in the Administrator Guide.
   • You are advised to change the default login password immediately after you log in to the storage system for the first time and periodically change the password since then. For details about how to change the password, see "Changing Password" in the Administrator Guide.
