Accessing your DMS remotely with DataMiner Cube
From DataMiner 10.3.0/10.3.2 onwards, you can use DataMiner Cube to access your DMS via the remote access URL, if the necessary requirements are met.
Requirements
- The DataMiner System uses DataMiner 10.3.0/10.3.2 or higher and is connected to dataminer.services.
- The DataMiner System has been configured to use HTTPS.
- The DataMiner Cube connection settings have been configured to use gRPC (see ConnectionSettings.txt).
- The APIGateway DxM is installed and running on the DMA you are connecting to.
- Remote access to Cube is enabled for the DMS.
- You have been granted access to dataminer.services features.
- You have the DataMiner Cube desktop application installed.
- Your user account has been granted access to the DataMiner System.
Important
At present, the following limitation applies: If a DMS has SAML authentication configured, you will not be able to access the DMS remotely with Cube.
Starting a remote access session with DataMiner Cube
To access the DMS remotely via Cube, use the remote access URL without the protocol prefix https://.
You can start the Cube session in different ways:
Via the desktop app on a client PC: Open the Cube desktop app and add a new DMS. In the host field, fill in the remote access URL of your system, without the protocol prefix, e.g.
ziine-skyline.on.dataminer.services. In the alias field, you can fill in a more user-friendly name to make it easy to identify the system.
With the button on dataminer.services: On a device where the Cube desktop app is installed, open a browser and navigate to dataminer.services. Find your DMS in the list and click the Open in desktop app button. This will open Cube with the correct remote access URL filled in in the host field. Then click Connect to connect to your DMS.
Note
If your DMS is not listed, check if the correct organization is selected in the top-right corner.
With the button on admin.dataminer.services: Open a browser, navigate to admin.dataminer.services, and go to the overview of your system. Here you will find the button Open Desktop Application. This works in the same way as the button on dataminer.services.
