RedHat OpenShift
Users
User types
- regular: regular users are normal users such as developers and people who manages the cluster (e.g. developer)
- system: system users are users that are created on each node and have the prefix system: (e.g. system:admin, system:master)
- service: service users are users that are created to allow the communication between services with the prefix system:serviceaccount (e.g. system:serviceaccount:user)
Oauth Server
Modes
- Allow all: all user is allowed with any password, password is not validated, if the user does not exists the server will automatically create one.
- Deny all: by default will deny all users, to create a user an administrator will create an account and actvate it so it can be used.
This configuration can be managed at /etc/openshift/master/master-config.yaml
