Setting up your user account

Before you log on to the IBM® Cloud Manager - Self Service user interface for the first time, you must request an account through your system administrator. You also must know the URL for your IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack server.

1. Point your web browser to the URL for your IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack server and log in. The URL looks similar to the following example, where IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack hostname is the name of your IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack host and port number is the port number: http(s)://IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack hostname:port number
   Note: The default port number is 8080.
2. If you do not have an account, click Request Account to create a user account request. After the administrator approves the request, an account is created for you.
   Note:

   • You must receive your account information before you can continue.
   • If you do not know the URL for your IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack server, contact your IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack administrator to manually request an account.
