When accessing the webinterface, you are presented with a login-page. The field "Domain" domain dropdown should be set to "NTNU accounts", and the "User Name" and "Password" fields should be populated with your NTNU username and password.
Dashboard
After a successful login (which is possible only if your user has access to at least one SkyHiGh project), you are presented with a dashboard. This dashboard displays your current resource usage and your current quota limits. The top of the interface shows your current project name (right above the pointer in the image).
Top menus
If your user have access to more than one project, the current project can be switched using a menu in the top of the webinterface.
Left-hand menus:
To the left there is a menu which lets you administer specific parts of the infrastructure:
- Project:
- API Access: API information
- Compute: Virtual machine administration
- Overview: This is the first page seen when logging in to the webinterface. Here a short summary of your project status is given.
- Instances: This view is to administer virtual machines. Here it is possible to create new virtual machines, and administer existing machines.Volumes: This view is to administer cinder volumes, which are bloc-devices/persistent-storage (disks) which can be attached to virtual machines.
- Images: This view is to administer the images of which a virtual machine can boot from. It will always contain a wide selection of linux images (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS etc.) and some Windows images, and it is possible to upload your own images if the image you want is not present.Access & Security: This view administers multiple access-related settings:
- Security groups: The firewall protecting your virtual machines Key Pairs: SSH key-pairs which allows you to log into your virtual machines
- Floating IPs: IP-Adresses which enables you to connect to machines from external networks.
- Volumes: Volume administration
- Volumes: This view is to administer cinder volumes, which are block-devices/persistent-storage (disks) which can be attached to virtual machines.
- Backups:
- Snapshots:
- Consistency Groups:
- Consistency Group SnapshotsAPI Access: API information
- Network: Network administration
- Network Topology: A graphical representation of your infrastructure.
- Networks: Your virtual networks.
- Routers: Your virtual routers, routing
- Security groups: The firewall protecting your virtual machines
- Floating IPs: IP-Adresses which enables you to connect to machines from external networks.
- Orchestration: Openstack-heat, an automation engine to roll out virtual infrastructure based on scripts.
- Projects: This view is to show you which projects your user is a member of.

Select which network to allocate the floating IP from (what networks are available can be seen here). It should be the same network that were sellected when the router were created.
When an IP is allocated, it can be Associated to a certain VM:
At the end the "Instance" list should display both the internal and the floating IP.
How to actually access your virtual machine is described in this page.
