Yellowbrick Manager Instance Login ​

By default, Yellowbrick Manager authenticates with a single instance which is deployed during installation. This instance is an enterprise-class data warehouse complete with its own database catalog of users and roles. During installation, this instance is configured with an initial administrator password of your choosing, and logging into Yellowbrick Manager with this username/password credential authenticates against this embedded database.

The login screen of Yellowbrick Manager, when configured with a single instance, will display a single username and password entry form. The options available on this login form will change when other login options are configured, or if secondary Yellowbrick instances are created.

Default Roles ​

There are two roles used by Yellowbrick Manager to control access to database resources and instance lifecycle. By default, every user is given the consumer role when logging into Yellowbrick Manager. In addition, if the user is granted SYSADMIN role in the database, users will be given consumeradmin role by Yellowbrick Manager, which controls instance lifecycle operations such as instance suspend, resume, create, delete, upgrade and diagnostics.

Additional Instances ​

Additional instances may be created using Yellowbrick Manager which will result in the login form displaying a selection on which instance to authenticate with. When only one instance is configured, this selection will not be displayed.

Multiple Instance Management ​

Yellowbrick Manager will allow multiple instances to be managed with a single login when using either the Single Sign-On option or Infrastructure Administrator options.

Resuming an Instance ​

The instance login feature allows for the resume of an instance if it is currently suspended, in order to facilitate the login authentication challenge to access the instance. If the instance you are attempting to login to is suspended, Yellowbrick Manager will offer to resume it for you.
