Signing in to TIBCO Platform Console

Admin user specified during Control Plane installation does not receive an activation email whether the email service is configured or not. For the first admin user to login to TIBCO Platform Console, you must specify the email and optionally temporary password (adminInitialPassword) in the platform-base chart values file during deployment.

If the password is not set during deployment, you can retrieve the password for the first admin user, by using the following steps:

Retrieving Initial Password from Create Admin Job Logs

Note: The create-admin-user job is deleted after one hour of deployment. Check the initial password before one hour.
    Procedure

  1. Get the create admin job details using the following command:

    kubectl get jobs -n <control_plane_namespace> | grep tp-control-plane-ops-create-admin-user

  2. Get the logs of the create admin job:

    kubectl logs -n <control_plane_namespace> jobs/<job-name>

  3. In the logs, search for value of initialPassword.

  4. Run the following command:

    echo '"<initialPassword>"' | jq -r .

    Use this password for the first time login to TIBCO Platform Console.

The user must reset password on the first time login to TIBCO Platform Console. This enables the user to log in to the TIBCO Platform Console with the Default IdP.

Users can sign in to the TIBCO Platform Console using the default IdP or the configured IdP. If you are signing in to the TIBCO Platform Console for the first time, you have to sign in Using Default IdP.

What to do nextYou can now start provisioning the subscription and also you can add more admin users.
