  • Publication number: 20260087086
    Abstract: Disclosed methods and systems include receiving, by a control panel of a multi-cloud platform, a node authentication token [NAT] corresponding to a compute node in the multi-cloud platform. The compute node may include a token generator that generates the NAT and sends the NAT to the control panel. The control panel may receive the NAT from the compute node via a secure administration connection between the control panel and the compute node. The control panel may then store the NAT in a token mapping database that associates the NAT with the node. The control panel may then perform operations to access the compute node from a conventional web browser. In at least one embodiment, these browser operations may include retrieving mapping information for the compute node from the token mapping database and generating an access uniform resource locator that includes a network address for the compute node and the mapping information.
