Issue/Introduction

When attempting to access the BOSH Director using local authentication, the credentials used are the UAA Login Client Credentials and UAA Admin User Credentials located in the BOSH Director Credentials Tab.

However, if you are using SAML or LDAP, the UAA Admin User is removed.

Environment

Product Version: 2.10

Resolution

To resolve this, you need to select the checkbox Provision an admin client in the BOSH UAA. You can do this by clicking your username on the top right of the Ops Manager UI > Settings > LDAP/SAML settings.

Once this has been selected, this adds a new Credential, UAA BOSH Client Credentials, to the BOSH Director Credentials Tab.

You can then access the Director UAA with the following command:
uaac token client get bosh_admin_client -s <password>

Retrieve the password from the UAA Bosh Client Credentials tab.
