You can review your own OAuth access tokens and delete any that are no longer needed.

5.1. Listing user-owned OAuth access tokens
Copy link

You can list your user-owned OAuth access tokens.

Token names are not sensitive and cannot be used to log in.

Procedure

  • List all user-owned OAuth access tokens: 

    $ oc get useroauthaccesstokens

    Example output

    NAME       CLIENT NAME                    CREATED                EXPIRES                         REDIRECT URI                                                       SCOPES

  • List user-owned OAuth access tokens for a particular OAuth client: 

    $ oc get useroauthaccesstokens --field-selector=clientName="console"

    Example output

    NAME       CLIENT NAME                    CREATED                EXPIRES                         REDIRECT URI                                                       SCOPES
<token3>   console                        2021-01-11T19:26:29Z   2021-01-12 19:26:29 +0000 UTC   https://console-openshift-console.apps.example.com/auth/callback   user:full

View details of a user-owned OAuth access token to identify the associated client application, check expiration and inactivity timeouts, verify scopes, and see other information fields.

Procedure

5.3. Deleting user-owned OAuth access tokens
Copy link

You can use the following procedure to delete any user-owned OAuth tokens that are no longer needed.

The oc logout command only invalidates the OAuth token for the active session. Deleting an OAuth access token logs out the user from all sessions that use the token.

Procedure

  • Delete the user-owned OAuth access token: 

    $ oc delete useroauthaccesstokens <token_name>

    Example output

    useroauthaccesstoken.oauth.openshift.io "<token_name>" deleted

As a cluster administrator, you can grant unauthenticated users access to specific cluster roles to enable features, such as external webhooks or automated token management, that require cluster access without authentication. Only grant this access when required and after verifying compliance with your organization’s security standards.

You can add unauthenticated users to the following cluster roles:

  • system:scope-impersonation
  • system:webhook
  • system:oauth-token-deleter
  • self-access-reviewer
Important

Always verify compliance with your organization’s security standards when modifying unauthenticated access.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  1. Create a YAML file named add-<cluster_role>-unauth.yaml and add the following content: 

    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
 annotations:
   rbac.authorization.kubernetes.io/autoupdate: "true"
 name: <cluster_role>access-unauthenticated
roleRef:
 apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
 kind: ClusterRole
 name: <cluster_role>
subjects:
 - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
   kind: Group
   name: system:unauthenticated

  2. Apply the configuration by running the following command: 

    $ oc apply -f add-<cluster_role>.yaml
