Manually provisioning a user when using the lookup mapping method

You can manually provision users when the lookup mapping method is enabled. The lookup method disables automatic identity-to-user mapping during login, requiring manual provisioning of each user after configuring the identity provider.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  1. Create an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform user:

    $ oc create user <username>

  2. Create an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform identity:

    $ oc create identity <identity_provider>:<identity_provider_user_id>

    Where <identity_provider_user_id> is a name that uniquely represents the user in the identity provider.

  3. Create a user identity mapping for the created user and identity:

    $ oc create useridentitymapping <identity_provider>:<identity_provider_user_id> <username>
