= Creating a basic authentication secret
|
|
|
|
As an administrator, you can create a basic authentication secret, which allows you to store the credentials needed for basic authentication. When using this secret type, the `data` parameter of the `Secret` object must contain the following keys encoded in the base64 format:
|
|
|
|
* `username`: the user name for authentication
|
|
* `password`: the password or token for authentication
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
You can use the `stringData` parameter to use clear text content.
