Chapter 3. Creating an OpenShift Container Platform secret for the OAuth token

To enable the Quay Bridge Operator to communicate with your Red Hat Quay deployment, you can create a secret in OpenShift Container Platform that stores the OAuth access token.

Prerequisites

  • You have set up Red Hat Quay and obtained an access token.
  • You have deployed the Quay Bridge Operator on OpenShift Container Platform.
  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  • Create a secret that contains the access token in the openshift-operators namespace: 

    $ oc create secret -n openshift-operators generic <secret_name> --from-literal=token=<access_token>

    <secret_name> specifies the name of the secret to create, for example, quay-bridge-operator-token. <access_token> specifies the access token generated during "Setting up Red Hat Quay for the Quay Bridge Operator".
