When you configure a CSP Vault Management cluster, you assign each node a static IP address. When you navigate to one of those static IP addresses in a web browser, CSP Vault displays the CSP Vault Management web GUI. The CSP Vault Management web GUI lets you configure the CSP Vault Management appliance and manage the VMs registered with the cluster.

You can log into the CSP Vault Management web GUI on any CSP Vault node in the cluster, and the changes will be automatically disseminated to all nodes in the cluster.

Always explicitly log out of the CSP Vault Management web GUI when you are finished. If you close the browser without logging out first, CSP Vault keeps your session active until the Session Timeout is reached. For details, see Setting the CSP Vault Management web GUI Session Timeout.

The main features of the CSP Vault web GUI are:

  • A Top Menu Bar that provides access to the main CSP Vault features. The icons you see in this bar depend on the user privileges associated with your account.
  • A User menu next to the Top Menu Bar that lets you set your user preferences, log out from the web GUI, or open the product online help. The Help link in this menu is context-sensitive, so the help page displayed when you select this link depends on the currently-displayed page in the web GUI.
  • A Dashboard that gives you an overview of your VMs in one place. For details, see Using the Dashboard.
  • A Refresh button that allows you to control when the web GUI fetches updates from the network.

For all tables in the web GUI, you can:

  • Display additional information for any object by clicking on that object.
  • Sort by any column by clicking the column header.
  • Select which columns are displayed by clicking the Column Display Options button.
  • Toggle multi-select mode by clicking the Multi-Select button. If you select multiple objects, any action you take applies to all selected objects.

For information about logging into the web GUI for the first time, see Initializing the CSP Vault Management web GUI. For information about administering CSP Vault using the web GUI, see CSP Vault System Configuration.
