Try running

before adding the cluster-role.

thanks, have tried - gives
error: username system:admin is invalid for basic auth

Have you tried logging in on the server as system:admin can only login on localhost.

[nickjupp]

it's an AWS machine, so via ssh connection.

`[centos@ip-172-31-10-24 installcentos]$ oc login localhost:8443
Authentication required for https://localhost:8443 (openshift)
Username: root
Password:
Login successful.

You don't have any projects. You can try to create a new project, by running

oc new-project <projectname>

[centos@ip-172-31-10-24 installcentos]$ oc logout
Logged "root" out on "https://localhost:8443"
[centos@ip-172-31-10-24 installcentos]$ oc login -u system:admin
Authentication required for https://localhost:8443 (openshift)

Have just run on a local Centos VM using VirtualBox, installed as root user and all worked fine, so seems to be something to do with AWS account permissions.... will continue to investigate as this would be great to spin up on demand!

Going to investigate, thanks for providing the information.

re-ran in AWS, added a root password and installed as root - all worked fine so this was the issue.
CLI access is fine from both local console and remote, can oc describe node etc, but now can't access web console (at all... no route),
Hostname is the internal/private 172.x.x.x EC2 address which probably explains it
....which is odd as the previous install did give me the console ok.
On my local machine (not ssh to the EC2 machine) I can oc login to the public IP and the following works, but not in the browser....
`
curl https://18.204.x.x.:8443/version/openshift -k

{
"major": "3",
"minor": "7+",
"gitCommit": "282e43f",
"gitVersion": "v3.7.1+282e43f-42",
}
`

Did you configure DNS? It's better to use DNS (at least nip.io) to access the console then plain IP address.

Seems stale, please reopen if need be.
