Accessing the OpenShift web console

Prerequisites

• A running {prod} virtual machine. For more information, see [starting-the-virtual-machine_{context}].

Procedure

To access the OpenShift web console, follow these steps:

1. Run {bin} console. This will open your web browser and direct it to the web console.

2. Log in to the OpenShift web console as the developer user with the password printed in the output of the {bin} start command.

   Note

   You can also view the password for the developer and kubeadmin users by running {bin} console --credentials. You can initially access the cluster through either the kubeadmin or developer user. Use the developer user for creating projects or OpenShift applications and for application deployment. Only use the kubeadmin user for administrative tasks such as creating new users, setting roles, and so on.

See [troubleshooting-codeready-containers_{context}] if you cannot access the {prod} OpenShift cluster.
