Overview

'oc login' configures locally a Kubernetes context by updating .kube/config. If it finds no state saved under .kube/config, or no command line options are provided, the command queries the user for OpenShift server, username and password. The command runs in the context of a project. The user must exists on server, and its identity must be correctly resolved by the OpenShift identity provider.

Example:

oc login -u <username>:<password>
oc login <api-server-url> -u <username> -p <password>

If -u is not specified, 'oc login' will query for user.
