Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Deprecated Functionality
Doc Text:
In the upcoming OpenShift version (4.8), the old-format OAuth tokens (not prepended by sha256~ prefix) will no longer be usable and noone will be able to create them. If an OpenShift 4.7 cluster contains such old-format OAuth tokens, we now raise an informational alert to notify the administrators of the cluster about this behavior change.
