Accessing the cluster environment and getting credentials

After having accessed the environment, you need to get the credentials to access to the Dynamic Workload Console. You can find the steps to get the credentials below.

For load balancer:

1. Run the following command to obtain the token to be inserted in https://<loadbalancer>:9443/console to connect to the console:

   kubectl get svc <workload_automation_release_name>-waconsole-lb  -o 'jsonpath={..status.loadBalancer.ingress..hostname}' -n <workload_automation_namespace>

2. With the output obtained, replace <loadbalancer> in the URL https://<loadbalancer>:9443/console.

For ingress:

1. Run the following command to obtain the token to be inserted in https://<ingress>/console to connect to the console:

    kubectl get ingress/<workload_automation_release_name>-waconsole -o 'jsonpath={..host}'-n <workload_automation_namespace>
   

2. With the output obtained, replace <ingress> in the URL https://<ingress>/console.

Logging into the console:

1. Log in to the console by using the URLs obtained in the previous step.
2. For the credentials, specify the user name (wauser) and the password specified in the "HWA Console and Server Password" parameter of the prerequisites, resources and HCL Workload Automation Helm Chart deployment template.
3. From the navigation toolbar, select Administration -> Manage Engines.
4. Verify that the default engine, engine_<release>-waserver is displayed in the Manage Engines list release:

To ensure the Dynamic Workload Console logout page redirects to the login page, modify the value of the logout url entry available in file authentication_config.xml:

   <jndiEntry value="${logout.url}" jndiName="logout.url" />

where the logout.url string in jndiName should be replaced with the logout URL of the provider.
