Creating an admin account for syncing users to the Ceph dashboard

Create an admin account to synchronize users to the Ceph dashboard.

Before you begin

A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.
Dashboard is installed.
Admin-level access to the dashboard.
Users are added to the dashboard.
Root-level access on all the hosts.
Java OpenJDK installed. For more information, see the Installing a JRE on RHEL by using yum section of the Installing and using OpenJDK 8 for RHEL guide for OpenJDK on Red Hat Documentation.
Red Hat Single Sign-On installed from a ZIP file. For more information, see the Installing RH-SSO from a ZIP File section of the Server Installation and Configuration Guide for Red Hat Single Sign-On on Red Hat Documentation.

After creating the account, use Red Hat Single Sign-on (SSO) to synchronize users to the Ceph dashboard. See Syncing users to the Ceph dashboard using Red Hat Single Sign-On.

For more information, see the following:

Download the Red Hat Single Sign-On 7.4.0 Server on the system where IBM Storage Ceph is installed.
For download package and information, see Software Details for Red Hat Single Sign-On 7.4.0 Server on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Extract the folder.

unzip rhsso-7.4.0.zip

For example,

[root@host01 ~]# unzip rhsso-7.4.0.zip

Go to the standalone/configuration directory and open the standalone.xml file for editing.
For example,
```
[root@host01 ~]# cd standalone/configuration
[root@host01 configuration]# vi standalone.xml
```
From the bin directory of the newly created rhsso-7.4.0 folder, run the add-user-keycloak script to add the initial administrator user.
```
./add-user-keycloak.sh -u admin
```
For example,
```
[root@host01 bin]# add-user-keycloak.sh -u admin
```
Replace the localhost and 127.0.0.1 with the IP address of the server where the Red Hat SSO is installed.
Start the server.
From the bin directory of rh-sso-7.4 folder, run the standalone boot script.
```
./standalone.sh
```
For example,
```
[root@host01 bin]# ./standalone.sh
```
Create the admin account in https: IP_ADDRESS :8080/auth with a username and password.

Note: You must create an admin account only the first time that you log into the console.
Log in to the admin console with the credentials created.
