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

You can log into the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault Management webGUI on any Cryptographic Security Platform Vault node in the cluster and the changes will be automatically disseminated to all nodes in the cluster.

Note: You should always explicitly log out of the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault Management webGUI when you are finished. If you close the browser without logging out first, Cryptographic Security Platform Vault keeps your session active until the Session Timeout is reached. For details, see Setting the CSP Vault Management webGUI Session Timeout.

The main features of the Cryptographic Security Platform Vault webGUI are:

• A Top Menu Bar that provides access to the main Cryptographic Security Platform 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 webGUI, 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 webGUI.
• 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 webGUI fetches updates from the network.

For all tables in the webGUI, 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 have multiple objects selected, any action you take is applied to all selected objects.

For information about logging into the webGUI for the first time, see Initializing the CSP Vault Management webGUI. For information about administering Cryptographic Security Platform Vault using the webGUI, see Cryptographic Security Platform Vault System Configuration.
