5 Type a URL that links to a web site that provides information about your Cloud Director installation.
For example, http://www.example.com. Users can follow the link by clicking the company name in the
footer of the client UI.
6 Type a URL that links to a web site that provides support for this Cloud Director installation.
The Support link on the Home tab of all Cloud Director organizations will open this URL.
7 Type a URL that links to a web site that allows users to sign up for a Cloud Director account.
This link appears on the Cloud Director login page.
8 Type a URL that links to a web site that allows users to recover their password.
This link appears on the Cloud Director login page.
9 Click Apply.
Configure the Public Web URL
If your Cloud Director installation includes multiple Cloud cells running behind a load balancer or NAT, or if
the Cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public web URL.
During the initial configuration of each Cloud cell, you specified an HTTP service IP address. By default, Cloud
Director uses that address to construct the organization URL that organization users access to log in to the
system. To use a different address, specify a public web URL.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Public Addresses in the left pane.
2 Type the public web URL.
3 Click Apply.
When you create an organization, its organization URL includes the public web URL instead of the HTTP
service IP address. Cloud Director also modifies the organization URLs of existing organizations.
Configure the Public Console Proxy Address
If your Cloud Director installation includes multiple Cloud cells running behind a load balancer or NAT, or if
the Cloud cells do not have publicly-routable IP addresses, you can set a public console proxy address.
During the initial configuration of each Cloud cell, you specified a remote console proxy IP address. By default,
Cloud Director uses that address when a user attempts to view a virtual machine console. To use a different
address, specify a public console proxy address.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Public Addresses in the left pane.
2 Type the hostname or IP address for the public console proxy address.
This can be the address of the load balancer or some other machine that can route traffic to the remote
console proxy IP.
3 Click Apply.
Remote console session tickets sent to the HTTP service IP address return the public console proxy address.
