Ansible Automation Platform

How to Log In

The default login user is admin and the password is generated randomly at install time; you will need the password to login in to the AAP interface. You do not have to log in to the interface - the pattern will configure the AAP instance; the pattern retrieves the password using the same technique as the ansible_get_credentials.sh script described below. If you want to inspect the AAP instance, or change any aspects of its configuration, there are two ways to login and look at it. Both mechanisms are equivalent; you get the same password to the same instance using either technique.

Via the OpenShift Console

In the OpenShift console, navigate to Workloads > Secrets and select the “ansible-automation-platform” project if you want to limit the number of Secrets you can see.

The Secret you are looking for is in the ansible-automation-platform project and is named controller-admin-password. If you click on it, you can see the Data.password field. It is shown revealed below to show that it is the same as what is shown by the script method of retrieving it below:

Via ansible_get_credentials.sh

With your KUBECONFIG set, you can run ./scripts/ansible-get-credentials.sh from your top-level pattern directory. This will use your OpenShift cluster admin credentials to retrieve the URL for your Ansible Automation Platform instance, as well as the password for its admin user, which is auto-generated by the AAP operator by default. The output of the command looks like this (your password will be different):

./scripts/ansible_get_credentials.sh
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match
'all'
