+= Accessing kubeconfig by using the oc CLI
+
+You can use the `oc` CLI to log in to your OpenShift cluster and retrieve a kubeconfig file for accessing the cluster from the command line.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You have access to the {product-title} web console or API server endpoint.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Log in to your OpenShift cluster by running the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc login <api-server-url> -u <username> -p <password> <1><2><3>
+----
++
+<1> Specify the full API server URL. For example: `https://api.my-cluster.example.com:6443`.
+<2> Specify a valid username. For example: `kubeadmin`.
+<3> Provide the password for the specified user. For example, the `kubeadmin` password generated during cluster installation.
+
+. Save the cluster configuration to a local file by running the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc config view --raw > kubeconfig
+----
+
+. Set the `KUBECONFIG` environment variable to point to the exported file by running the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ export KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig
+----
+
+. Use `oc` to interact with your OpenShift cluster by running the following command:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc get nodes
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+If you plan to reuse the exported `kubeconfig` file across sessions or machines, store it securely and avoid committing it to source control.
