Connecting to the IBM MQ Console deployed in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster

How to connect to the IBM® MQ Console of a queue manager which has been deployed onto a Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform cluster.

About this task

The IBM MQ Console URL can be found on the QueueManager details page in the Red Hat OpenShift web console or in the IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration Platform Navigator. Alternatively, it can be found from the Red Hat OpenShift CLI by running the following command:

oc get queuemanager <QueueManager Name> -n <namespace of your MQ deployment> --output jsonpath='{.status.adminUiUrl}'

If you are using a IBM Cloud Pak for Integration license, then the IBM MQ web console is configured to use the IBM Cloud Pak Identity and Access Manager (IAM). The IAM component may have already been set up by your cluster administrator. However, if this is the first time IAM has been used on your Red Hat OpenShift cluster, then you will need to retrieve the initial admin password. For more information see Getting the initial admin password.

If you are using an IBM MQ license, then the MQ web console is not pre-configured, and you need to configure it yourself. For more information see Configuring users and roles.
