2.4. Managing CLI profiles
A CLI configuration file allows you to configure different profiles, or contexts, for use with the CLI tools overview. A context consists of user authentication a OpenShift Container Platform server information associated with a nickname.
2.4.1. About switches between CLI profiles 링크 복사링크가 클립보드에 복사되었습니다!
Contexts allow you to easily switch between multiple users across multiple OpenShift Container Platform servers, or clusters, when using CLI operations. Nicknames make managing CLI configurations easier by providing short-hand references to contexts, user credentials, and cluster details. After a user logs in with the oc CLI for the first time, OpenShift Container Platform creates a ~/.kube/config file if one does not already exist. As more authentication and connection details are provided to the CLI, either automatically during an oc login operation or by manually configuring CLI profiles, the updated information is stored in the configuration file:
CLI config file
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
insecure-skip-tls-verify: true
server: https://openshift1.example.com:8443
name: openshift1.example.com:8443
- cluster:
insecure-skip-tls-verify: true
server: https://openshift2.example.com:8443
name: openshift2.example.com:8443
contexts:
- context:
cluster: openshift1.example.com:8443
namespace: alice-project
user: alice/openshift1.example.com:8443
name: alice-project/openshift1.example.com:8443/alice
- context:
cluster: openshift1.example.com:8443
namespace: joe-project
user: alice/openshift1.example.com:8443
name: joe-project/openshift1/alice

- The
clusterssection defines connection details for OpenShift Container Platform clusters, including the address for their master server. In this example, one cluster is nicknamedopenshift1.example.com:8443and another is nicknamedopenshift2.example.com:8443. - 2
- This
contextssection defines two contexts: one nicknamedalice-project/openshift1.example.com:8443/alice, using thealice-projectproject,openshift1.example.com:8443cluster, andaliceuser, and another nicknamedjoe-project/openshift1.example.com:8443/alice, using thejoe-projectproject,openshift1.example.com:8443cluster andaliceuser. - 3
- The
current-contextparameter shows that thejoe-project/openshift1.example.com:8443/alicecontext is currently in use, allowing thealiceuser to work in thejoe-projectproject on theopenshift1.example.com:8443cluster. - 4
- The
userssection defines user credentials. In this example, the user nicknamealice/openshift1.example.com:8443uses an access token.
The CLI can support multiple configuration files which are loaded at runtime and merged together along with any override options specified from the command line. After you are logged in, you can use the oc status or oc project command to verify your current working environment:
Verify the current working environment
$ oc status
Example output
oc status
In project Joe's Project (joe-project)
service database (172.30.43.12:5434 -> 3306)
database deploys docker.io/openshift/mysql-55-centos7:latest
#1 deployed 25 minutes ago - 1 pod
service frontend (172.30.159.137:5432 -> 8080)
frontend deploys origin-ruby-sample:latest <-
builds https://github.com/openshift/ruby-hello-world with joe-project/ruby-20-centos7:latest
#1 deployed 22 minutes ago - 2 pods
To see more information about a service or deployment, use 'oc describe service <name>' or 'oc describe dc <name>'.
You can use 'oc get all' to see lists of each of the types described in this example.
List the current project
$ oc project
Example output
Using project "joe-project" from context named "joe-project/openshift1.example.com:8443/alice" on server "https://openshift1.example.com:8443".
You can run the oc login command again and supply the required information during the interactive process, to log in using any other combination of user credentials and cluster details. A context is constructed based on the supplied information if one does not already exist. If you are already logged in and want to switch to another project the current user already has access to, use the oc project command and enter the name of the project:
$ oc project alice-project
Example output
Now using project "alice-project" on server "https://openshift1.example.com:8443".
At any time, you can use the oc config view command to view your current CLI configuration, as seen in the output. Additional CLI configuration commands are also available for more advanced usage.
If you have access to administrator credentials but are no longer logged in as the default system user system:admin, you can log back in as this user at any time as long as the credentials are still present in your CLI config file. The following command logs in and switches to the default project:
$ oc login -u system:admin -n default
