  • Authenticate via accounts-centos-org option in ocp.ci/ocp.stg.ci
  • In the top right of the Openshift console, click the drop down menu for your user and click Copy Login Command
  • Copy the Log in with this token: oc login --token=xxxx --server=https://uri and paste into your terminal

To login via the CLI using the system:admin user simply:

  • ssh to the admin node which corresponds with ocp-ci-management or ocp-ci-management-stg inventory group
  • Change user to the ocp admin user on the admin node choose appropriate version: sudo su - ocpadm or for staging sudo su - ocpadmstg
  • export /home/<ocpadmuser>/.kube/config
  • You should now have system:admin access to the cluster.
