Installing the Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager by using the web console

Use the Software Catalog in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console to install the Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager. This process streamlines deployment and helps ensure the Operator is installed in the correct namespace with the appropriate installation mode.

Note

A minimum of 1Gi persistent volume is required to install the SPIRE Server.
Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster with cluster-admin privileges.

  • You have access to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console.

  2. Go to Ecosystem → Software Catalog.

  3. Search for Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager.

  4. On the Install Operator page:

    1. Update the Update channel, if necessary. The channel defaults to stable-v1, which installs the latest stable-v1 release of the Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager.

    2. Choose the Installed Namespace for the Operator. The default Operator namespace is zero-trust-workload-identity-manager.

      If the zero-trust-workload-identity-manager namespace does not exist, it is created for you.

      Note

      The Operator and operands are deployed in the same namespace.

    3. Select an Update Approval strategy

      • The Automatic strategy allows Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to automatically update the Operator when a new version is available.

      • The Manual strategy requires a user with appropriate credentials to approve the Operator update.

  5. Click Install.

Verification

  1. Navigate to Ecosystem → Installed Operators.

    1. Verify that Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager is listed with a Status of Succeeded in the zero-trust-workload-identity-manager namespace.

    2. Verify that Zero Trust Workload Identity Manager controller manager deployment is ready and available by running the following command:

      $ oc get deployment -l name=zero-trust-workload-identity-manager -n zero-trust-workload-identity-manager
      Example output

zero-trust-workload-identity-manager-controller-manager   1/1     1            1           3h36m

  2. To check the Operator logs, run the following command:

    $ oc logs -f deployment/zero-trust-workload-identity-manager-controller-manager -n zero-trust-workload-identity-manager
