Workspace Login

In this guide, you will:

• Use Guardrails console to login to the Workspace.
• Perform initial credentials rotation operation.

A Workspace is an independent tenant of Guardrails, with its own version and its own schema (logical shard) in a hive. Each Workspace has its own root resource as Turbot, its own set of mods, and its own web console endpoint. Workspaces will use the Collective, Hive, and versions that you deployed previously, using the TEF, TED, and TE products in the Service Catalog.

Caution

After the creating the workspace, it is recommended to rotate the initial credentials for the Admin profile.

Prerequisites

• You must have completed the Workspace creation.

Step 1: Access AWS Console

In the AWS Console, navigate to the CloudFormation service in the alpha region.

Step 2: Find Workspace Stack

While CloudFormation Stacks, search for the stack name and select the stack.

Step 3: Access Initial Credentials

During the Workspace creation, the Workspace Manager generates the initial Turbot Admin profile and password, along with a key pair. Go to the stack outputs to find the required values.

Console URL available in the WorkspaceUrl Outputs variable. Use this WorkspaceUrl link to access the web console.

Admin Credentials is displayed in the WorkspaceManagerOutput variable in the stack outputs.

Warning

The username, password, and keys will appear in plain text in the CloudFormation stack output variables. If you re-run the stack, the stack output variables will be overwritten, so it’s important to secure this information immediately after stack creation.

Step 4: Login Workspace with Initial Credentials

Login using the generated admin credentials.

Step 5: Rotate Initial Password

After successful login to Guardrails console, select to Profile in right top corner.

While in Turbot Admin profile, select Reset Password to initiate rotate Password.

Guardrails generates an automatic complex password, and when you confirm the rotation by selecting OK, the new credentials will be applied.

Step 6: Deactivate Access Key

The initial admin login access key created during the workspace creation process remains active. First, deactivate the access key.

Confirm by selecting Deactivate.

Step 7: Delete Access Key

Once the access key is deactivated, check access key status is shown as INACTIVE, select X to delete.

Confirm deletion by selecting Delete button.

Note

New access keys can be created if necessary.
