Logging in to CoPilot

This section covers how to log in to a running CoPilot. If this is your initial login to CoPilot, see Initial Setup of CoPilot.

For information about setting up SAML login for CoPilot, see Set Up SAML Login for CoPilot.

To log in to CoPilot, use the following steps:

  1. Launch CoPilot in your web browser:

    https://<copilot static public ip address>/

    • where <copilot static public ip address> is the static public IP address of your deployed CoPilot software instance/virtual machine.

    • Alternatively, you can launch CoPilot in your web browser directly from Aviatrix Controller as described in the next step.

  2. (Optional) To launch CoPilot in your web browser directly from Aviatrix Controller:

    1. In Aviatrix Controller, under Settings, select CoPilot.

    2. For the CoPilot Association, set the status to Enabled.

    3. In the IP Address/Hostname field, enter the static IP address for your running CoPilot instance/virtual machine. This can be the private or public IP address of your CoPilot instance/virtual machine. The IP address specified here is used for connectivity between the controller and CoPilot for intra-platform communication (such as API message exchanges). If CoPilot is located in the same VPC/VNet as your controller, specifying a private IP can increase operational bandwidth and potentially save on cost. If you enter the private IP address here, then go to the next step to specify the public IP address.

    4. If you specified the private IP address of your CoPilot instance in “IP Address/Hostname”, enter the public IP address of your CoPilot instance in the Public IP (Optional) field. This enables you to open CoPilot in your web browser directly from your Controller.

    5. In the action bar of your Controller homepage, click on the application icon, and then select CoPilot.

  3. Enter your Controller account credentials or SAML credentials.
