System Login

The Figure 1 on the Chrome browser is as follows.

Login Method

You can log in to the UI management page through HTTP or HTTPS.
- HTTP defaults to support port 5000. Enter the corresponding URL address (http://your_machine_ip:5000) to open the UI management page. For a better product experience, we recommend that you use Chrome 49, Firefox 52, or their later versions.
- HTTPS is disabled by default. .
When you log in to the Cloud for the first time, the default account name is admin, and the default password is password.
ZStack supports the following login methods:
- Account login: Requires you to enter the account name and the account password.
- User login: Requires you to enter the user name and the user password.
- AD/LDAP login: Requires you to enter the login attribute name and the AD/LDAP password. For AD/LDAP, you need to configure the AD/LDAP server and bind the AD/LDAP account in advance.
- Project login: Requires you to add the License of the Enterprise Management module, and to enter the user name and the password.
Note: If the login fails, check the management node service. Make sure that both the management service and the UI service are running properly.
ZStack supports a variety of login UI modes (Main Login/Project Login). To manage quick UI logins, choose Settings > Global Settings > Advanced to set the UI login mode.
On the Advanced tab page, set UI Login Interface Mode to Project Login. Then, you can directly log in to the Cloud via the default link: http(s)://management node_ip:port.

Login Security

To avoid malicious login attempts, if you reach the maximum number of failed logins, the protection mechanism of verification codes will be triggered. That means that you need to enter the correct account name, password, and verification code, if you want to log in to the Cloud successfully. After you log in to the Cloud successfully, the number of the failed logins will be zeroized. In addition, the new count of failed logins will be adopted when you log in to the Cloud again.
To set the switch of verification codes and the maximum number of failed logins, go to Settings > Global Settings > Advanced.
- On the Advanced page, set Switch for Verification Code to true to enable this feature. Default value: false.
- On the Advanced page, set Maximum Number of Failed Logins to modify the maximum number of failed logins. Default value: 6.
To further protect your account security, ZStack supports two factor authentication. If you enable two factor authentication, the Cloud will require you to enter the correct account name, password, and 6-digit security code provided by the identity authentication APP for each login.
If you use the two authentication for the first time, follow these steps:
1. In the navigation pane of ZStack Private Cloud UI, choose Settings > Global Settings > Advanced. On the Advanced page, set Switch For Two Factor to true to enable two factor authentication.
2. In the app store of your mobile phone, download and install an identity authentication APP. We recommend that you use Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, and Google Authenticator.
3. When you log in to the Cloud for the first time, enter the correct account name and the password, and click the Log In button. Then, the Identity Authentication page is displayed, as shown in Identity Authentication.
  Figure 2. Identity Authentication
4. Use the downloaded identity authentication APP to scan the QR code, as shown in Identity Authentication. Then, you will obtain a 6-digit security code.
5. Click the Save and Next button. Then, the Cloud will automatically download the QR code and enter the input page of the security code.
6. Enter the 6-digit security code that is displayed at real time to log in to the Cloud.
Note:
- After you log in to the Cloud successfully for the first time, the QR code for authenticating your identity will no longer be displayed. Make sure that you save and keep it carefully.
- If the QR code of the administrator is lost, contact the official technical support to obtain another one.
- After you log in to the Cloud successfully as an administrator, you can check the QR code of the regular users on the account detailed page. If the QR code of the regular users is lost, contact the project administrator to obtain another one.
- After you log in to the Cloud successfully as an administrator, you can check the QR code of the project identity authentication on the project detailed page. If the QR code of the project is lost, contact the platform administrator to obtain another one.
- Each regular account or project must use its verification code for authenticating logins.
To increase the security of the login password, the Cloud supports the following password policies:
- Enable the account lock for continuous failed logins. During the locking period, you cannot log in to the Cloud by using the account.
  Method: Go to Settings > Global Settings > Advanced, and enable the account lock for continuous failed logins.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Lock Login Attempt Maximum to true to enable this feature. Default value: false.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Maximum Number of Failed Logins to change the maximum number of failed logins. Default value: 6.

- Enable the password update cycle to change login passwords regularly.
  Method: Go to Settings > Global Settings > Advanced to set the cycles of password updates.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Password Update Cycle to true to enable this feature. Default value: false.
  - On the Advanced tab page, enter a value for Password Update Cycle. Default value: 90 days.
- Limit the number of repeated passwords to prevent the new password being duplicated with the old passwords.
  Method: Go to Settings > Global Settings > Advanced to set the number of allowed repeated passwords.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Password not Repeated Times to true to enable this feature. Default value: false.
  - On the Advanced tab page, enter a value for Password not Repeated Times. If the value is 3, the new password cannot be repeated with the last 3 old passwords you specified before. Default value: 5.
- Enable the password strength to set the length of passwords and to choose whether to enable the password combination policy of numeric, alphabetic, and special characters.
  Method: Go to Settings > Global Settings > Advanced to set the password strength.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Password Strength to true to enable this feature. Default value: false.
  - On the Advanced tab page, set Password Strength to choose the length of passwords, and to choose whether to enable the password combination policy of numeric, alphabetic, and special characters. Default value: 8-32.
- With the switch for only one login session, you can decide whether to disable the multi-login session. After enabling the switch, only one user can log in to the Cloud, while the historical login sessions will be forced to log out.
  Method: Choose Settings > Global Settings > Advanced, locate Switch for Enable Unique Session, and enable or disable the switch as needed.
After you log in to the Cloud successfully for the first time, select Personal Center > Change Password at the upper right of the UI. Then, you can change your password.
By default, the login session can last 2 hours. If your login times out, you need to log in to the Cloud again.
- Set the Session Timeout as needed.
- Method: In the navigation pane of the ZStack Private Cloud UI, choose Settings > Global Settings > Basic Settings, locate the corresponding parameter, and make configurations as needed.

Personal Center

Select Personal Center > Switch Language to change the UI language. Currently, ZStack supports three mainstream languages: Simplified Chinese, English, and Traditional Chinese.
ZStack supports language consistency between the default UI language and the language of the current browser. If you log in to ZStack via the current browser for the first time, the language of the UI page will be automatically consistent with that of the current browser.
- If you switch a language via ZStack, the UI page will display the switched language at the next login.
- If ZStack does not support the language of the current browser, the UI page defaults to display English.
Select Personal Center > Log Out to exit the ZStack UI management page.
We recommend that you use a screen resolution that is greater than 1280 to obtain the best operation experience.
