Conjur UI

Selecting the appliance project

Finst we need to go to our appliance-hosting project in OpenShift console. To do this, go to your OpenShift dashboard (https://<dns-name-or-ip>:8443), login as a superadmin, and find the project/namespace with your Conjur appliance cluster. This dropdown will be located in the top left portion of your screen.

Finding out the Conjur DNS route hostname

Since OpenShift decides where to route your request based on the hostname, we next need to find out what this hostname needs to be. This information can be found under Application -> Routes. Note the value listed under Hostname column of conjur-master route - this should look similar to https://conjur-master-conjur-cluster.router.default.svc.cluster.local.

Linking the cluster IP to expected hostname

This DNS name we must link up with the cluster IP in our machine's DNS resolver since we do not have an external DNS server available to us. If the result of the previous step is https://conjur-master-conjur-cluster.router.default.svc.cluster.local we will need to add a mapping to our /etc/hosts file for it:

Note: You will need dig tool available in your shell for the following step

echo “$(dig +short <cluster-master-dns-name>) conjur-master-conjur-cluster.router.default.svc.cluster.local" |  sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Accessing the UI

After this, all we will need to do is type https://conjur-master-conjur-cluster.router.default.svc.cluster.local into our browser. Username will be admin and the password will be the value of CONJUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD from the previous steps.

Note: You may need to click through the certificate warning messages
