Single password
Out of the box, SUSE® Observability is configured with a single password configuration, configured during installation. This authenticates users with a single, password that must be provided during installation.
This is the simplest way to get started with SUSE® Observability, but for production one of the other authentication options is recommended.
Get the password from an external secret
When the default password should come from an external secret, follow these steps but fill in the following data:
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: "<custom-secret-name>"
type: Opaque
data:
default_password: <base64 of the encoded password>
The password encoding can be one of these:
* For a plain text password provide: $plain$your-password ($plain$ is a prefix indicating plain text)
* For a bcrypted password provide: bcrypt-hashed-password. Creating a bcrypted hash of the password can be done using htpasswd -bnBC 10 "" <password> | tr -d ':\n'.
