Log in to the UI with Kommander

By default, you can log in to the UI in Kommander with the credentials given using this command:

CODE

dkp open dashboard --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf

You can also retrieve your credentials at any time using the following command:

CODE

kubectl -n kommander get secret dkp-credentials -o go-template='Username: {{.data.username|base64decode}}{{ "\n"}}Password: {{.data.password|base64decode}}{{ "\n"}}'

You can also retrieve the URL used for accessing the UI using the following command:

CODE

kubectl -n kommander get svc kommander-traefik -o go-template='https://{{with index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0}}{{or .hostname .ip}}{{end}}/dkp/kommander/dashboard{{ "\n"}}'

You should only use these static credentials to access the UI for configuring an external identity provider. Treat them as back up credentials rather than use them for normal access.

You rotate the password using the following command:

CODE

dkp experimental rotate dashboard-password

The output displays the new password:

CODE

Password: kqZ31lMBSCLcBjUKVwLJMQL2PxalipIzZw5Pjyw09wDqjWV3dz2wPSSBYi09JGJp

You can perform the following operations on Identity Providers:

Create an Identity Provider
Temporarily Disable an Identity Provider
Create Groups

Dashboard UI Functions

After installing Konvoy component and building a cluster as well as successfully installing Kommander and logging into the UI, you are now ready to customize configurations using the Day 2 Cluster Operations Management section of the documentation. The majority of this customization such as attaching clusters and deploying applications will take place in the dashboard or UI of DKP. The Day 2 section allows you to manage cluster operations and their application workloads to optimize your organization’s productivity.

See (2.6) DKP Insights if you want to enable a solution that detects current and future anomalies in workload configurations or Kubernetes clusters.
