By default RStudio Server runs on port 8787 and accepts connections from all remote clients. After installation you should therefore be able to navigate a web browser to the following address to access the server:
http://<server-ip>:8787
RStudio will prompt for a username and password, and will authenticate the user by checking the server's username and password database.
A couple of notes related to user authentication:
- RStudio Server will not permit logins by system users (those with user ids lower than 100).
- User credentials are encrypted using RSA as they travel over the network.
- You can manage users with standard Linux user administration tools like useradd, userdel, etc.
- Each user needs to be created with a home directory.
If you are unable to access the server after installation, you should run the verify-installation command to output additional diagnostics:
$ sudo rstudio-server verify-installation
