Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The cluster authentication operator was always disabling challenge authentication flows for any OIDC identity provider. Consequence: Even though an OIDC identity provider is capable of handling direct password logins and thus CLI login with `oc` would be possible, this was not honored. Fix: When OIDC identity provider is configured, the authentication operator checks whether it allows for Resource Owner Password Credentials grant and allows challenge-based login if it does. Result: It is now possible to use CLI when trying to log in to OIDC identity providers that allow the Resource Owner Password Credentials authorization grant.

Description Justin Pierce 2019-07-08 17:49:35 UTC
Description of problem:
In OCP 3.x, setting challenge=true for keycloak based OpenID IDP allowed users to use `oc login -u <> -p <>` from the CLI. This behavior has been changed in 4.x and challenge can no longer be specified (top level config does not expose the option). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure keycloak backend with OpenID oauth.config.openshift.io
2. Attempt to login with valid keycloak username/password from the command line via oc
3.

Actual results:
The user is unable to authenticate via keycloak.

Expected results:
If the OpenID backend supports it, allow this form of authentication.

Justin, if you could possibly help me test the PR that is referenced in thiz BZ so that we make sure it works for you, that'd be awesome.

Standa - if we can get an image with the fix in it, the DPCR team should be able to install it on a staging starter cluster. Brad Williams is the team lead.
