Default administrator profile

Default administrator credentials are provided so that you can log in to the user interface and access all of the configuration options for the WebSphere Automation UI. Use the default administrator profile if an identity provider is not configured.

When you log in to the WebSphere Automation UI, you can use the default cpadmin user account. To get the password for the cpadmin user, see your cluster administrator. If you have cluster administrator credentials, you can log in to the Red Hat OpenShift CLI client by using the oc login command and run the following Red Hat OpenShift CLI (oc) command.

  • For the UNIX operating system, run the following command.
    oc -n WSA_INSTANCE_NAMESPACE get secret ibm-iam-bindinfo-platform-auth-idp-credentials -o jsonpath={.data.admin_password} | base64 --decode

    WSA_INSTANCE_NAMESPACE is the namespace of the instance where WebSphere Automation is installed; if the default value was chosen at installation, the value is websphere-automation.

  • For the Windows operating system, run the following command.
    oc -n WSA_INSTANCE_NAMESPACE get secret ibm-iam-bindinfo-platform-auth-idp-credentials -o jsonpath={.data.admin_password} > password.txt

    For the Windows operating system, decode the password by using base64 decoding.

    certutil -decode password.txt decodedpw.txt && type decodedpw.txt

    For the Windows operating system, you can choose a different file name and directory.

The cpadmin profile is granted the WebSphere Automation Administrator role by default and therefore has full administrator permissions to manage servers and email notifications in the user interface. To log in using the default cpadmin profile, select IBM provided credentials (cpadmin only) as the authentication type.

It is also possible to log in to the user interface by selecting OpenShift authentication as the authentication type and entering credentials for the cluster administrator (for example, kubeadmin). However, this user account is not automatically granted the WebSphere Automation Administrator role and therefore cannot by default configure servers or email notifications in the user interface.
