Do not use basic authentication.
Basic authentication uses plaintext credentials for authentication. Currently, the basic authentication credentials last indefinitely, and the password cannot be changed without restarting the API server. The basic authentication is currently supported for convenience. Hence, basic authentication should not be used.
OpenShift uses tokens and certificates for authentication.
OpenShift provides its own fully integrated authentication and authorization mechanism. The apiserver is protected by either requiring an OAuth token issued by the platform's integrated OAuth server or signed certificates. The basic-auth-file method is not enabled in OpenShift.
Run the following command:
oc -n openshift-kube-apiserver get cm config -o yaml | grep --color "basic-auth"
oc -n openshift-apiserver get cm config -o yaml | grep --color "basic-auth"
oc get clusteroperator authentication
Verify that the --basic-auth-file argument does not exist.
Verify that the authentication-operator is running: Available is True.
None required. --basic-auth-file cannot be configured on OpenShift.
By default, --basic-auth-file argument is not set and OAuth authentication is configured.
