Login Overview¶
Constraints¶
Only a running ECS can be logged in.
Login usernames, passwords, and constraints vary depending on OSs running on the ECSs created using a public image.
If an ECS uses key pair authentication, use the password obtaining function available on the management console to decrypt the private key used during ECS creation to obtain a password.
