Basic Authentication

The Keptn Bridge has a basic authentication feature, which can be controlled by setting the following two environment variables in the deployment of the bridge::

• BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME - username
• BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD - password

Enable Authentication

• Basic authentication is enabled by default when executing the below command. This command creates a secret with the two variables: BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME and BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD.

  keptn configure bridge --action=expose --user=<USER> --password=<PASSWORD>
  

  Note: Replace <USER> and <PASSWORD> with the desired credentials.

• Restart the pod of the Keptn Bridge by executing:

  kubectl -n keptn delete pods --selector=run=bridge
  

Disable Authentication

• To disable the basic authentication, delete the secret by executing:

  kubectl -n keptn delete secret bridge-credentials
  

• Restart the pod of the Keptn Bridge by executing:

  kubectl -n keptn delete pods --selector=run=bridge
