What I'm doing wrong?
You should login using api URL, not console URL, such as https://console-openshift-console.apps.us-west-1.online-starter.openshift.com. api URL is using 6443 port by default.
# oc login https://<api url>:6443
UPDATE:
AFAIK, api URL is configured in kubeconfig auth file by default. And you can usually login without specifying api URL as follows.
# export KUBECONFIG=/home/user_id/install/auth/kubeconfig
# oc login
Usually, api URL format is api.<cluster name>.<domain>.
