Signing in to the AWS Management Console as an IAM user or root user

By Ashwin Venugopal -

 







Sign in As the Root User

You must know the following information before signing-in to an AWS account:

Requirements-

  1. The email address used to create the AWS account.
  2. The password for the root user.

To sign in to an AWS account as the root user:

  • Firstly, open https://console.aws.amazon.com/.
  • The main sign-in page will appear as saying select the Root user, enter the email address linked to your account, and then select Next.
  • Now you can enter your password and sign-in.

Sign-in as an IAM User

As seen above, for this one also, you must have the following information:

Requirements:

  1. One of the two- the account alias or the 12 digit AWS account ID.
  2. User name for your IAM user.
  3. Password for your IAM user.

A root user or an IAM administrator should either provide the AWS account ID or an AWS account alias to an IAM user while an IAM user can easily log in either with a sign-in URL or the main sign-in page.

To sign in to an AWS account as an IAM user using an IAM user's sin-in URL 

  1. Open a browser and enter the following URL after replacing account_alias_or_id with account alias or account ID given by your administrator- 

  https://account_alias_or_id.signin.aws.amazon.com/console/

       2. Now you can enter your IAM user name as well as password and sign in. 

To sign in to an AWS account as an IAM user using the main sign-in page

  1. Firstly, open https://console.aws.amazon..com/.
  2. After that, you have to choose IAM user, enter the account alias or account ID, and choose Next.
  3. Now you can enter your IAM user name and password and sign-in.

However, if you have already signed-in as an IAM user for another AWS account before via this browser, or if you want sign-in as a root user, then, you must pick Sign in using root user email in order to go back to the main sign-in page.

The loaf balancer also offers an option of DirectServerReturn which if configured, can help in directing the traffic from the DBMS VM to the SAP application layer directly to the application layer without routing through the load balancer. But, if it isn't configured, then the return traffic to the SAP application layer is routed through the load balancer. You can also use Azure Load Balan
