How to create basic auth secret? #43

Hi, the middleware for basic-auth that uses the authsecret has user "admin" and password "adminadmin". Can you please share steps on how you generated the following data:

  #------------ Paste your own password file content here (default user/password=admin/adminadmin)--------------
  data:
    users: |2

You can use the commadline tool 'htpasswd' which is part of the apache2-utils. The content of that file can than be copy/paste into the middleware configuration. See here

Let me know if this answers your question.

thanks @rsoika that helps, although one followup - what does users: |2 mean? Like 2 users or does it have something to do with encoding? And if there are 2 users, why don't we specify both passwords like:

users: |2
   ABC......
   DEF.......

I feared this question ;-) I don't really know what the |2 means and how exactly this kind of configuration should be structured in a Kubernetes object description....
