Signing in to the CloudBees CD/RO web interface

1 minute readReference

This section describes how to sign in to the CloudBees CD/RO web interface. During installation if you chose to configure an external database, you will not be able to sign in until you set up a database configuration.

Enter https://<cloudbees-cd-server>/flow/ in a browser window, where <cloudbees-cd-server> is the CloudBees CD/RO server IP address or host name. One of the following sign-in pages displays, based on the server’s single sign-on (SSO) setting. If you ever need to sign in as a different user, simply enter the credentials for that user.

SSO enabled

The sample sign-in page below is SSO-enabled with GSuite and Kerberos SSO. Your page may be enabled with other SSO providers such as Okta.
