Enable open source console
-
Enabling the open source console restarts the Nacos cluster. During this process, cluster nodes restart sequentially, which might cause a small number of client request failures or reconnections. We recommend performing this operation during off-peak hours.
-
If RAM authentication is enabled, the open source console cannot access data from the MSE Microservices Registry.
-
Log on to the MSE console, and select a region in the top navigation bar.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Microservices Registry > Instances.
-
On the Instances page, click the name of the instance.
-
In the navigation pane on the left, click Parameter Settings. On the Parameter Settings page, click Edit, set the ConsoleUIEnabled parameter to Yes, and then click Save and Restart Instance to enable the open source console.
Reset open source console password
Nacos 3.x versions have authentication enabled by default. The default username is nacos. You must reset the password before first use. Follow these steps:
-
Log on to the MSE console, and select a region in the top navigation bar.
-
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Microservices Registry > Instances.
-
On the Instances page, click the name of the instance.
-
On the Basic Information page of the instance, click Reset, and then click Reset again in the confirmation dialog box.
-
After the password is reset, copy it and store it in a secure location. Then, close the window. Do not click Reset again.
ImportantThe password is displayed only once and cannot be retrieved after you close this window. If you lose the password, you can reset it again.
