Console proxy allows you to log in to a VM instance by using the IP address of a proxy. You can view the information about the proxy used to launch your VM console.

• The console proxy address only needs to be modified on the management node.
• The address of default proxy is the IP address of the management node.
• You can launch the VM console properly only when the state and status is Enabled and Connected, respectively.

An AccessKey pair is a security credential that one party authorizes another party to call API operations and access its resources in the Cloud. AccessKey pairs shall be kept confidential.

ZStack Cloud provides two types of AccessKey: local AccessKey and third-party AccessKey.

• Local AccessKey:

  A local AccessKey pair consists of an AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret. It is a security credential that the Cloud authorizes a third-party user to call API operations and access its cloud resources. AccessKey pairs shall be kept confidential. An AccessKey pair has the full permissions of its creator.

• Third-party AccessKey:

  A third-party AccessKey pair consists of an AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret. It is a security credential that a third-party user authorizes the Cloud to call API operations and access its cloud resources. AccessKey pairs shall be kept confidential.

Note:

• AccessKey is a key factor for the Cloud to perform security authentication on API requests. We recommend that you keep your AccessKey confidential to maintain securities.
• If your AccessKey is at risk of leakage, we recommend that you delete it in time and create a new one.

An IP blocklist or allowlist identifies and filters IP addresses that access the Cloud. You can create an IP allowlist or blocklist to improve access control of the Cloud.
