Chapter 6. Accessing the Discovery user interface

Procedure

1. In a browser, enter the URL for the Discovery server in the following format: https://IPaddress:server_port, where IPaddress is the IP address of the Discovery server and server_port is the exposed server port.

   The following examples show two different ways to enter the URL, based on the system that you are logging in from and whether the default port is used:

   • If you log in from the system where the server is installed and the default port 9443 is used, you can use the loopback address (also known as localhost) as the IP address, as shown in the following example:

     https://127.0.0.1:9443

   • If you log in from a system that is remote from the server, the server is running on the IP address 192.0.2.0, and the default port was changed during installation to 8443, you would log in as shown in the following example:

     https://192.0.2.0:8443

   After you enter the URL for the server, the Discovery login page displays.

2. On the login page, enter the username and password for the Discovery server administrator account and then click Log in to log in to the server.

Procedure

1. In the application toolbar, click the person icon or your username.
2. Click Logout.

Procedure

1. To log in to the command line interface, enter the following command, where server_username is the username for the Discovery server administrator and server_password is the password for the server administrator:

   $ dsc server login --username server_administrator_username --password server_administrator_password

Procedure

1. To log out of the command line interface, enter the following command:

   $ dsc server logout
