Creating a secret from source code basic authentication

Basic authentication requires either a combination of --username and --password, or a token to authenticate against the SCM server.

Prerequisites

• User name and password to access the private repository.

Procedure

1. Create the secret first before using the user name and password to access the private repository:

   $ oc create secret generic <secret_name> \
       --from-literal=username=<user_name> \
       --from-literal=password=<password> \
       --type=kubernetes.io/basic-auth

2. Create a basic authentication secret with a token:

   $ oc create secret generic <secret_name> \
       --from-literal=password=<token> \
       --type=kubernetes.io/basic-auth
