Service Administration¶
This document describes the service administration functions necessary for configuring a Bayware network via a web interface. The steps below guide the administrator through the creation of users and contracts.
Step 1. Login¶
After installing the Controller, access its web interface at https://www.controller.net. Enter default credentials
- Domain: default
- User: admin
- Password: demo-app
Step 2. Configure Technical (or Resource) Users¶
Select the desired domain from the list under Domain and click the Add user button under Resource Users menu item. The user profile fields are
- login
- user login, maximum 30 characters
- name
- username, maximum 30 characters
- user domain
- select domain where user will operate
- user status
- choose between Enabled and Disabled
- user auth method
- LocalAuth in local database or LDAPAuth at directory server (inherited from domain authentication type)
- roles
- select roles for user: hostOwner or switchOwner (inherited from selected domain)
- password, repeat password
- user password
Created user credentials should be used in switches and host configuration files (see corresponding installation guides).
Step 3. Create Contracts¶
Switch to domain from the drop-down list and click the Contracts section. All contracts in the selected domain will be visible. Click Add Contract, select necessary template, and fill in missing fields. Contract roles are inherited from the chosen template. If needed, add new Roles or edit existing Roles. Contract options are
