Connecting to the IBM MQ Console deployed in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster
How to connect to the IBM® MQ Console of a queue manager that has been deployed onto a Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster.
About this task
The IBM MQ Console URL can be
found on the
QueueManager details page in the Red Hat OpenShift web console or
in the IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration Platform UI (previously the Platform Navigator). Alternatively, it can be
found from the Red Hat OpenShift CLI by running the following command:
oc get queuemanager <QueueManager Name> -n <namespace of your MQ deployment> --output jsonpath='{.status.adminUiUrl}'If you are using an IBM Cloud Pak for Integration license:
- For IBM MQ Operator 3.0.0 and later, the IBM MQ Console uses Keycloak for identity and access management. See Identity and Access management in the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration documentation.
- For IBM MQ Operator deployments earlier than version 3.0.0, the IBM MQ Console uses the IBM Cloud Pak Identity and Access Manager (IAM). The IAM component might have already been set up by your cluster administrator. However, if this is the first time IAM has been used on your Red Hat OpenShift cluster, then you need to retrieve the initial administrator password. See Getting the initial admin password.
If you are using an IBM MQ license, then the IBM MQ Console is not pre-configured, and you need to configure it yourself. For more information, see Configuring users and roles. For an example, see Configuring the IBM MQ Console with a basic registry using the IBM MQ Operator.
