Adding a {WebName} user

When authentication is enabled for the {WebName}, administrators will need to add users so that they can access the {WebName}.

Follow these steps to add a new {WebName} user.

  1. Make sure that the {WebName} is running.

  2. Open the Red Hat Single Sign-On administration console.

    • For a .zip installation:

      1. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/auth/ in a browser.

      2. Select Administration Console to access the Red Hat Single Sign-On administration console.

    • For an OpenShift installation:

      1. Navigate to <OPENSHIFT_URL>/console/project/{LC_PSN}/overview in a browser.

        Note
        If you renamed the OpenShift project when deploying, replace {LC_PSN} with the name of your project.
      2. Click the link in the SSO HTTPS application and add "/auth" to the end of the URL.

      3. Select Administration Console to access the Red Hat Single Sign-On administration console.

  3. Log in with an administrative user’s credentials. The default credentials are admin and password.

  4. In the upper left corner, select the {LC_PSN} realm from the drop down.

  5. From the left-side navigation menu, select Users and then click Add user.

  6. Enter the Username, First Name, Last Name, and any other required fields and click Save.

  7. Once the user has been added, select the Credentials tab.

  8. Enter a temporary password in the New Password and Password Confirmation fields, and leave the Temporary field set to ON.

  9. Click Reset Password and then click Change password in the confirmation popup.

The user is enabled by default and will be required to set a new password when they log in to the {WebName} with this temporary password.
