Hardware requirements for UI node are described in CloudBlue Commerce Hardware Requirements Guide >> Hardware Requirements > UI Servers on Linux > LINUIBR section.
To register UI node in CloudBlue Commerce, perform the following actions:
- In Operations control panel, go to Infrastructure > Service Nodes.
- Click Add New Node.
- Choose the Branding UI role.
-
In the SSH access parameters area, specify the following parameters:
-
Host – BackNet IP address or hostname of the hardware node.
Important: The specified hostname should be resolved via DNS to the BackNet IP address of the hardware node.
- Login – Login of the user (root), which is used for the hardware node registration.
Select the Password option and enter the user's password in the Password field.
If SSH Public-Key Authentication is used, select the Private key file option and provide path to the SSH Private Key using the Browse button.
Note: If the SSH Private Key is protected by password, enter the key password to the Private key password field.
Click Next. The last step of the wizard appears.

In the Network configuration area, specify the following parameters:
- Backnet IP address – BackNet IP address of the hardware node. This IP address will be used to communicate with CloudBlue Commerce MN.
- Shared IP address – FrontNet IP address of the hardware node. This IP address will be used by CloudBlue Commerce services installed on the hardware node.
The hardware node can be registered with custom hostname. To do so, in the Register node with custom hostname area, select the Specify custom hostname checkbox and specify the required custom hostname in the Hostname field.
Note: The specified custom hostname will be displayed in CloudBlue Commerce control panel. To make the custom hostname resolvable via DNS, the appropriate A DNS Record should be created.
- Click Finish.
- Wait until the node becomes Ready to provide.
The newly created Linux UI node requires additional configuration: shared FrontNet IP address and BackNet IP address of the UI node must be added into ip_access.db file on Billing node. Billing service must be restarted after that.
