Your OpenStack environment now includes the dashboard. You can
:ref:`launch-instance` or add more services to your environment.

After you install and configure the dashboard, you can
complete the following tasks:

* Provide users with a public IP address, a username, and a password
  so they can access the dashboard through a web browser. In case of
  any SSL certificate connection problems, point the server
  IP address to a domain name, and give users access.

* Customize your dashboard. See section
  `Customize the dashboard
  <http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/common/dashboard_customizing.html>`__.

* Set up session storage. See
  `Set up session storage for the dashboard
  <http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/dashboard_sessions.html>`__.

* To use the VNC client with the dashboard, the browser
  must support HTML5 Canvas and HTML5 WebSockets.

  For details about browsers that support noVNC, see
  `README
  <https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/blob/master/README.md>`__
  and `browser support
