= Logging in to the OpenShift CLI using a web browser
|
|
|
|
You can log in to the OpenShift CLI (`oc`) with the help of a web browser to access and manage your cluster. This allows users to avoid inserting their access token into the command line.
|
|
|
|
[WARNING]
|
|
====
|
|
Logging in to the CLI through the web browser runs a server on localhost with HTTP, not HTTPS; use with caution on multi-user workstations.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* You must have access to an {product-title} cluster.
|
|
* You must have installed the OpenShift CLI (`oc`).
|
|
* You must have a browser installed.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Enter the `oc login` command with the `--web` flag:
|
|
+
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ oc login <cluster_url> --web <1>
|
|
----
|
|
<1> Optionally, you can specify the server URL and callback port. For example, `oc login <cluster_url> --web --callback-port 8280 localhost:8443`.
|
|
|
|
. The web browser opens automatically. If it does not, click the link in the command output. If you do not specify the {product-title} server `oc` tries to open the web console of the cluster specified in the current `oc` configuration file. If no `oc` configuration exists, `oc` prompts interactively for the server URL.
|
|
+
|
|
.Example output
|
|
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
Opening login URL in the default browser: https://openshift.example.com
|
|
Opening in existing browser session.
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. If more than one identity provider is available, select your choice from the options provided.
|
|
|
|
. Enter your username and password into the corresponding browser fields. After you are logged in, the browser displays the text `access token received successfully; please return to your terminal`.
|
|
|
|
. Check the CLI for a login confirmation.
|
|
+
|
|
.Example output
|
|
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
Login successful.
|
|
|
|
You don't have any projects. You can try to create a new project, by running
|
|
|
|
oc new-project <projectname>
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
The web console defaults to the profile used in the previous session. To switch between Administrator and Developer profiles, log out of the {product-title} web console and clear the cache.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
You can now create a project or issue other commands for managing your cluster. |
