htpasswd identity provider

Using htpasswd authentication in OpenShift Container Platform allows you to identify users based on username and password pairs.

IMPORTANT: htpasswd does not support multiple users.

Prerequisites

  1. You created your account roles using Terraform.
  2. You created your cluster using Terraform. This cluster can either have a managed OIDC configuration or an unmanaged OIDC configuration.
  3. Optional: You have configured your Terraform.tfvars file.

Applying the Terraform plan

  1. You need to either create a terraform.tfvars file in this directory or add the following items to your existing *.tfvars file. You may also export these variables as environmental variables with the following commands:

    1. This value sets the user list for logging into your application. 
      export TF_VAR_users=[{\"username\":\"<user-name-to-login>\",\"password\":\"<password-for-user-name>\"},...]
    2. This variable should be your full OpenShift Cluster Manager offline token that you generated in the prerequisites. 
      export TF_VAR_token=<ocm_offline_token>
    3. This value should always point to https://api.openshift.com. 
      export TF_VAR_url=<ocm_url>
    4. The ID of the cluster for which you are creating the identity provider. This ID can be found in the rosa command-line interface (CLI) with the command rosa list cluster. 
      export TF_VAR_cluster_id=<cluster_id>

  2. In your local copy of the htpasswd folder, run the following command:

    terraform init

    Running this command accesses all the necessary provider information to apply your Terraform plan.

  3. Optional: Run the plan command to ensure that your Terraform files build correctly without errors. This is not required to apply your Terraform plans.

    terraform plan -out htpasswd.tfplan

  4. Run the apply command to create your htpasswd identity provider.

    Note: If you did not run the plan command, you can simply apply without specifying a file.

    terraform apply <"htpasswd.tfplan">

  5. The Terraform applies the plan and creates your identity provider using htpasswd. You will see a prompt to confirm you want to create these resources. Enter yes, then the process will complete with your resources.

Resource clean up

After you are done with the resources you created, you should not delete them manually, but instead, use the destroy command. Run the following to delete all of your created resources:

terraform destroy

After the command is complete, your resources are deleted.

NOTE: If you manually delete a resource, you create unresolvable issues within your environment.
