The dashboard is available on the node with the nova-dashboard server role. Ask the cloud operator for the host name or public IP address from which you can access the dashboard, and your user name and password. Open a Web browser. Make sure that JavaScript and cookies are enabled. To use the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) client for the dashboard, your browser must support HTML5 Canvas and HTML5 WebSockets. The VNC client is based on noVNC. For details, see noVNC: HTML5 VNC Client. For a list of supported browsers, see Browser support. In the address bar, type the host name or IP address for the dashboard: https://IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOSTNAME/ If a certificate warning appears when you try to access the URL for the first time, a self-signed certificate is in use, which is not considered trustworthy by default. Verify the certificate or add an exception in the browser to bypass the warning. On the Log In page, enter your user name and password, and click Sign In. The top-level row shows your user name. You can also access Settings or sign out of the dashboard. The visible tabs and functions in the dashboard depend on the access permissions, or roles, of the user you are logged in as. If you are logged in as an end user, the main screen shows the Project tab. If you are logged in as an administrator, the main screen shows the Project tab and Admin tab.
