Appendix A. Cluster Administrator Setup

Authentication

Set up the authentication using AllowAll Authentication method.

AllowAll Authentication
Set up an authentication model which allows all passwords. Edit /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml on the OpenShift master and change the value of DenyAllPasswordIdentityProvider to AllowAllPasswordIdentityProvider. Then restart the OpenShift master.
  1. Now that the authentication model has been setup, login as a user, for example admin/admin: 
    # oc login openshift master e.g. https://1.1.1.1:8443  --username=admin --password=admin
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Grant the admin user account the cluster-admin role. 
      # oadm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin admin
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For more information on authentication methods, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/openshift-enterprise/3.2/single/installation-and-configuration/#identity-providers.
