Validation

1. Check the status of the CommonService and PlatformNavigator custom resource.

   # Verify the Common Services instance has been deployed successfully
   oc get commonservice common-service -n ibm-common-services -o=jsonpath='{.status.phase}'
   # Expected output = Succeeded
   
   # [Optional] If selected, verify the Platform Navigator instance has been deployed successfully
   oc get platformnavigator -n tools -o=jsonpath='{ .items[*].status.conditions[].status }'
   # Expected output = True

2. Log in to the Platform Navigator console

   # Retrieve Platform Navigator Console URL
   oc get route -n tools integration-navigator-pn -o template --template='https://{{.spec.host}}'
   # Retrieve admin password
   oc extract -n ibm-common-services secrets/platform-auth-idp-credentials --keys=admin_username,admin_password --to=-
