Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Creating the secret

Create a Secret object in the openshift-config namespace to store the client secret for your identity provider. The identity provider custom resource (CR) references this secret during configuration.

Procedure

Create a Secret object containing the client secret by running the following command:

$ oc create secret generic <secret_name> --from-literal=clientSecret=<secret> -n openshift-config

Optional: Apply the following YAML to create the secret:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: <secret_name>
  namespace: openshift-config
type: Opaque
data:
  clientSecret: <base64_encoded_client_secret>

Create a Secret object from a file by running the following command:

$ oc create secret generic <secret_name> --from-file=<path_to_file> -n openshift-config
