1.2. About authentication in OpenShift Dedicated
To control access to an OpenShift Dedicated cluster, an administrator with the dedicated-admin role can configure user authentication and ensure only approved users access the cluster.
To interact with an OpenShift Dedicated cluster, users must first authenticate to the OpenShift Dedicated API in some way. You can authenticate by providing an OAuth access token or an X.509 client certificate in your requests to the OpenShift Dedicated API.
If you do not present a valid access token or certificate, your request is unauthenticated and you receive an HTTP 401 error.
An administrator can configure authentication by configuring an identity provider. You can define any supported identity provider in OpenShift Dedicated and add it to your cluster.
