Logging in to a DB Instance

This section describes how to log in to a Huawei Cloud DB instance. After a Huawei Cloud DB instance is created, DAS automatically creates a login information for the administrator account to log in to the DB instance using the password.

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner, and under Databases, click Data Admin Service.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Development Tool.

    You can also click Go to Development Tool on the overview page.

  5. Locate the target DB instance and click Log In in the Operation column.

    You need to enter the password at the first login. If Remember Password is selected at the first login, you do not need to enter the password again at subsequent logins.

    • If the DB instance is not found, the login button is grayed out, and no operations can be performed.
    • If the pop-up window is blocked when you click Log In, configure your browser to allow the Huawei Cloud website. After that, you can log in to the instance.
    • The DB Instance Logins that IAM Users Share with Others tab page is displayed only when the Huawei ID account is used for login.
