Description Steven Walter 2017-01-25 15:26:57 UTC

Description of problem:

Customer has concerns over the display of authentication/passwords in flat configuration files:

# cat /etc/origin/master/session-secrets.yaml  
apiVersion: v1
kind: SessionSecrets
secrets:
- authentication: "<SECRET>"
  encryption: "<SECRET>"

Hide Section - Tags


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.0

How reproducible:
Default with the product


Actual results:
 Data is in a flat file

Expected results:
 Data would be more encrypted, not "out in the open"

Session secrets are managed by the authn operator in 4.x and use randomly generated keys.

Comment 12 Chuan Yu 2019-04-09 07:12:57 UTC

Since auth config will not be stored in a file on disk like this in 4.0, move this to verify.
