Signing in to the management-hub web interface

You can launch the Lenovo XClarity Management Hub 2.0 web interface from any system that has network connectivity to the XClarity Management Hub 2.0 virtual machine.

Ensure that you are using one of the following supported web browsers.
  • Chrome 115 or later
  • Firefox ESR 102.12 or later
  • Microsoft Edge 115 or later
  • Safari 16.6 or later

User sessions​

Each user can have up to five user sessions.

After 30 minutes of inactivity, you can continue to view data; however, you must log in again to perform other actions. The management hub automatically logs out user sessions after 24 hours, regardless of activity.

If five consecutive log-in attempts fail, you must wait at least 15 minutes before logging in again.

After changing your password, you must wait at least an hour to change it again.

Signing in​

Access to the web interface is through a secure connection. Ensure that you use https.

Sign in to the management-hub web interface by pointing your browser to the XClarity Management Hub 2.0 IP address, for example:
https://192.0.2.10
The IP address that you use depends on how your environment is set up.
  • If you specified a static IPv4 address during installation, use that IPv4 address to access XClarity Management Hub 2.0.
  • If a DHCP server is set up in the same broadcast domain as the management hub, use the IPv4 address that is displayed in the virtual-machine console to access the XClarity Management Hub 2.0.
If you are logging in for the first time:
  1. Enter the default username USERID and password PASSW0RD (using a zero).
  2. Immediately change the password. It is recommended that you use strong passwords of 16 or more characters. By default, passwords must have 8 – 256 character and must meet the following criteria.
    • Must have at least one number (0 - 9).
    • Must have at least two of the following characters.
      • Uppercase alphabetic characters (A – Z)
      • Lowercase alphabetic characters (a – z)
      • Special characters. Only these characters are supported ; @ _ ! ' $ & +
    • Must not repeat or reverse the username.
    • Must not have more than two sequential characters, including sequences of alphabetic characters, digits, and QWERTY keyboard keys (for example, abc, 123, and asd are not allowed).
    • Must not have more than two of the same characters consecutively (for example, aaa, 111, and ... are not allowed).
    • Must not reuse the last five passwords.
  3. Review and accept the End User License Agreement. You cannot sign in until you accept the agreement.
