Access the Keycloak User Management UI

This procedure can be used to access the interface to manage Keycloak users. Users can be added with this interface. See Create Internal User Accounts in the Keycloak Shasta Realm.

Prerequisites

  • This procedure uses SYSTEM_DOMAIN_NAME as an example for the DNS name of the non-compute node (NCN). Replace this name with the actual NCN’s DNS name while executing this procedure.
  • This procedure assumes that the password for the Keycloak admin account is known. The Keycloak password is set during the software installation process.
    • (ncn-mw#) The password can be obtained with the following command:

      kubectl get secret -n services keycloak-master-admin-auth --template={{.data.password}} | base64 --decode
      

Procedure

  1. Point a browser at https://auth.cmn.SYSTEM_DOMAIN_NAME/keycloak/, replacing SYSTEM_DOMAIN_NAME with the actual NCN’s DNS name. Use of the auth.cmn. sub-domain is required for administrative access to Keycloak.

    The following is an example URL for a system: https://auth.cmn.system1.us.cray.com/keycloak/

    The browser may return an error message similar to the following when auth.cmn.SYSTEM_DOMAIN_NAME/keycloak is launched for the first time:

    This Connection Is Not Private
    
    This website may be impersonating "hostname" to steal your personal or financial information.
    You should go back to the previous page.
    

    See Make HTTPS Requests from Sources Outside the Management Kubernetes Cluster for more information on getting the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate on the system.

  2. Click the Administration Console link.

  3. Log in as the admin user for the Master realm.

  4. Ensure that the selected Realm is Shasta.

  5. Click the Users link under the Manage menu on the left side of the screen.

    New users can be added with this interface. See Create Internal User Accounts in the Keycloak Shasta Realm.
