Creating the LDAP secret

Create a secret that contains the LDAP bind password in the openshift-config namespace so the identity provider can authenticate to the directory.

Procedure

Create a Secret object that contains the bindPassword field by running the following command:
```
$ oc create secret generic ldap-secret --from-literal=bindPassword=<secret> -n openshift-config
```
where:

<secret>

Specifies the LDAP bind password value for the --from-literal argument. The key name must be bindPassword.

Alternatively, apply the following YAML to create the secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: ldap-secret
  namespace: openshift-config
type: Opaque
data:
  bindPassword: <base64_encoded_bind_password>
