Chapter 8. Configuring authentication
Application users need credentials to access Data Grid clusters. You can use default, generated credentials or add your own.
8.1. Default credentials
Data Grid Operator generates base64-encoded credentials for the following users:
| User | Secret name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Credentials for the default application user. |
|
|
| Credentials that Data Grid Operator uses to interact with Data Grid resources. |
8.2. Retrieving credentials
Get credentials from authentication secrets to access Data Grid clusters.
Procedure
Retrieve credentials from authentication secrets.
oc get secret infinispan-generated-secret
Base64-decode credentials.
oc get secret infinispan-generated-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.identities\.yaml}" | base64 --decode
8.3. Adding custom user credentials
Configure access to Data Grid cluster endpoints with custom credentials.
Modifying spec.security.endpointSecretName triggers a cluster restart.
Procedure
Create an
identities.yamlfile with the credentials that you want to add.credentials: - username: myfirstusername password: changeme-one - username: mysecondusername password: changeme-two
Create an authentication secret from
identities.yaml.oc create secret generic --from-file=identities.yaml connect-secret
Specify the authentication secret with
spec.security.endpointSecretNamein yourInfinispanCR and then apply the changes.spec: security: endpointSecretName: connect-secret
8.4. Changing the operator password
You can change the password for the operator user if you do not want to use the automatically generated password.
Procedure
Update the
passwordkey in theinfinispan-generated-operator-secretsecret as follows:oc patch secret infinispan-generated-operator-secret -p='{"stringData":{"password": "supersecretoperatorpassword"}}'NoteYou should update only the
passwordkey in thegenerated-operator-secretsecret. When you update the password, Data Grid Operator automatically refreshes other keys in that secret.
8.5. Disabling user authentication
Allow users to access Data Grid clusters and manipulate data without providing credentials.
Do not disable authentication if endpoints are accessible from outside the OpenShift cluster via spec.expose.type. You should disable authentication for development environments only.
Procedure
Set
falseas the value for thespec.security.endpointAuthenticationfield in yourInfinispanCR.spec: security: endpointAuthentication: false- Apply the changes.
