Dell ObjectScale Application 1.3.x Installation Guide for Red Hat OpenShift

Access the ObjectScale Portal on an OpenShift cluster

To access the ObjectScale on an OpenShift cluster, follow these steps to connect to the ObjectScale Portal with a supported internet browser.

kubectl -n <OBJECTSCALE_NAMESPACE> get svc objectscale-portal-external

NAME                        TYPE         CLUSTER-IP    EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S)        AGE
objectscale-portal-external LoadBalancer 10.55.66.100  10.x.y.z    4443:30436/TCP 9m2s

1. Open a supported web browser and enter the External IP address and port for the objectscale-portal service:

   https://<EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS>:4443

   The ObjectScale Portal login page appears.
2. Use your Username and Password credentials to log in to the ObjectScale Portal user interface.
   For OpenShift, obtain your credentials using the OpenShift identity provider user that is configured for accessing the ObjectScale instance or object store.
   • You can log in as kubeadmin or an OpenShift Identity Provider User cluster-admin and can have access to the entire ObjectScale instance and you can create object stores in any namespace you have configured.

   • You can log in as an OpenShift Identity Provider User end user and can access only the namespaces to which you have permissions.

     • If you log in as an end user who has edit permissions to a specific namespace, you can manage the object store in that namespace. All other ObjectScale features will not be available.
     • If you log in as an end user who has view permissions to a specific namespace, you can view the Object Store in that namespace. All other ObjectScale features will not be available.
