Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Creating the htpasswd secret

Create an Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform secret from your htpasswd file so the htpasswd identity provider can read user credentials for cluster login.

Prerequisites

You created an htpasswd file.

Procedure

Create a Secret object that contains the htpasswd users file by running the following command:

$ oc create secret generic htpass-secret --from-file=htpasswd=<path_to_users.htpasswd> -n openshift-config

The --from-file key must be named htpasswd.

You can alternatively apply the following YAML to create the secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: htpass-secret
  namespace: openshift-config
type: Opaque
data:
  htpasswd: <base64_encoded_htpasswd_file_contents>
