After deploying a Teradata REST Services VM, you must connect to the VM and log in to the Teradata REST Services graphical user interface.

You can use Teradata REST Services in the public cloud or on-premises.

The time zone for the Teradata REST Services VM defaults to the database time zone.

  1. From the Azure portal, note the following of the REST Services VM:
    • The private IP address.
    • If applicable, either the public IP or public DNS.
  2. Log on to the VM using the authentication type you chose when deploying the VM.
  3. Obtain an admin password for Teradata REST Services.
    1. Open an SSH client and connect to the Teradata REST Services VM:
      # ssh azureuser@VM-public-IP-address
      where:
      • azureuser is the user name specified when you deployed the VM.
      • VM-public-IP-address is the public IP address of the Teradata REST Services VM.
    2. Switch to the root user environment.
      # sudo su -
    3. Run the following command to generate the password for the admin user:
      /opt/teradata/rest/daemon/bin/tdrest-password-generate

      Note the resulting password, which you will use to log in to the Teradata REST Services graphical user interface.

  4. From your browser, display the Teradata REST Services graphical user interface using either the DNS name or the IP address.

    http://VM-public-DNS:1080

    http://VM-public-IP-address:1080

    where VM-public-DNS is the DNS host name and VM-public-IP-address is the public IP address of the Teradata REST Services VM.
  5. Log in to the Teradata REST Services graphical user interface as admin.
  6. Create a system. See the Teradata® REST Services Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Guide for Customers.
