# Log in to the vSphere web interface

## Requirements

- You must be the administrator of the [Hosted Private Cloud - Managed vSphere](https://us.ovhcloud.com/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/) infrastructure.
- IP addresses added in the `Security` section of your OVHcloud Control Panel. For more information, please read our [Authorizing IP addresses for vCenter access](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/hosted-private-cloud/vmware/authorize-ip-vcenter-access.md) guide.

#### OVHcloud Control Panel Access

- Direct link: [VMware vSphere](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/#/dedicated/dedicated_cloud/)
- Navigation path: `Hosted Private Cloud` > `Managed VMware vSphere` > Select your vSphere service

 

## Instructions

To log in to the managed vSphere Web interface, you need to use your OVHcloud account to generate a vSphere user.

 

### Step 1 - User management with vSphere and OVHcloud

#### Via the OVHcloud Control Panel

You can manage your login credentials via the OVHcloud Control Panel for your VMware product managed on OVHcloud.
Once you have selected your infrastructure, choose the `Users` tab.
From here you can `Create User`, or modify an existing user by clicking the _more options_ `...` button on the right edge of that user's row.

#### Via the OVHcloud API

**Note:** If you are not familiar with using the oVHcloud API, please refer to our [First steps with the OVHcloud API](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md) guide.

Some example API calls are:
- Create a user

  `POST /dedicatedCloud/{serviceName}/user`

  > **Parameters:**
  >
  > `serviceName`: your service, i.e. pcc-xx-xx-xx-xx.
  >
  > `name`: the name of your user.

- Change a user password

  `POST /dedicatedCloud/{serviceName}/user/{userId}/changePassword`

  > **Parameters:**
  >
  > `serviceName`: your service, i.e. pcc-xx-xx-xx-xx.
  >
  > `name`: the ID of your user.

 

### Step 2 - Log in to the managed vSphere Web interface

The HTML5 web client link is available in the `General information` tab of your service in the OVHcloud Control Panel. Alternatively, you customize the following URL for your service and type it directly into your browser: `https://pcc-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.ovh.us/ui/.`

Sign in to a local account using the credentials created in Step 1, and you will reach the **Summary** page of the vSphere Client.
