Access Key creation for OIDC no longer possible

[gabm]

After removal of most of the Console UI, access keys for OIDC users can no longer be created.

Expected Behavior

Preferably, we would get the old UI back - but the decision has been made to remove that. It was claimed that the mc admin tool can cover the use cases of the missing UI, but this is not the case.

Current Behavior

Option for creation of access keys for OIDC users is gone now - no alternative available.

Possible Solution

a) reintroduce old UI or b) add an mc admin command, similar do LDAP

Context

Access keys are needed for programmatical access, especially of programs and automated services. I cannot enroll new services anymore.

Regression

This is a regression since https://github.com/minio/minio/pull/21278. Pls fix.

This might be a solution. https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser

The third party forks (OpenMaxIO or georgmangold) are essentially the pre-May-2025 UI sitting on top of the latest back end, so this is certainly a stopgap and proves that the back end API endpoints for creating OIDC access keys still exist and work as before. This issue is asking for Minio to reinstate some kind of UI in the new object browser that allows OIDC signin and calls the same access key management endpoints, but in a way that’s not so tied in to the admin UI that they’re not willing to maintain.

I would say my trust in MinIO is gone
