Unexplained Identity
Environment
- OpenShift Enterprise 3.0
Issue
- My username now has a 2 next to it
- My user was created under a different identity with a 2 next to it
Resolution
- Step 1 - Get information
# oc get identity
htpasswd:foo htpasswd foo foo c805cab7-57c8-11e5-bfbe-fa163e7a4b21
# oc get users
foo c805cab7-57c8-11e5-bfbe-fa163e7a4b21 htpasswd:foo
- Step 2 - Delete only the user
# oc delete user foo
user "foo" deleted
- Step 3 - Delete the identity
# oc delete identity htpasswd:foo
- Step 4 - Login successfully
# oc login -u foo
Root Cause
The identity Provider, in /etc/openshift/master/master-config.yaml was changed after the user was initially created. This causes the system to see the user as a different person entirely that just shares the same username, but has a different identity, so it adds a 2 to help the users differentiate the two accounts.
Diagnostic Steps
Running the following commands as system:admin can help identify the issue.
oc get users
oc get identity
With getting the users you should see a different identity associated with the original user and the user2 which is simply confirmed with getting the identity.
