Eclipse Che uses Keycloak to create, import, manage, delete, and authenticate users. Keycloak uses built-in authentication mechanisms and user storage. It can use third-party identity management systems to create and authenticate users. Eclipse Che requires a Keycloak token when you request access to Che resources.

Local users and imported federation users must have an email address in their profile.

The default Keycloak credentials are admin:admin. You can use the admin:admin credentials when logging into Eclipse Che for the first time. It has system privileges.

Procedure

To find your Keycloak URL:

If Che is running on Kubernetes:

  • Go to $CHE_HOST:5050/auth.

If Che is deployed on OpenShift:

  • Go to the OpenShift web console and navigate to the Keycloak namespace.
