Run the Installer

# deployer
cd /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/
sudo ansible-playbook playbooks/prerequisites.yml
sudo ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy_cluster.yml

# If installastion failed or went wrong, the following uninstallation script can be run, and running installation can be tried again:
sudo ansible-playbook playbooks/adhoc/uninstall.yml

User management

# on openshift master

cd /etc/origin/master/
# add user
htpasswd [/path/to/users.htpasswd] [user_name]
htpasswd htpasswd devopstales

# delete user
htpasswd -D [htpasswd/file/path/]  [user-name] [password]
htpasswd -D htpasswd devopstales Password1

# it will remove only the username from the htpasswd file by default it won’t remove user identity
oc delete  identity htpasswd_auth:user
