Secret

The Secret is the Kubernetes security component that stores the MSDP credentials that are required by the CR YAML.

# The secret is used to store the MSDP credential, which is required 
by the CR YAML as follows.
# This part should be created separately and not be part of CR Template.
# The secret should have a "username" and a "password" key-pairs with the 
corresponding username and password values.
# Please follow MSDP guide for the rules of the credential.
#   https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100048511
#   The pattern is "^[\\w!$+\\-,.:;=?@[\\]`{}\\|~]{1,62}$"
# We can create the secret directly via kubectl command:
#   kubectl create secret generic sample-secret --namespace 
sample-namespace \
#   --from-literal=username=<username> --from-literal=password=<password>
# Alternatively, we can create the secret with a YAML file in the 
following format.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: sample-secret
  # The namespace needs to be present.
  namespace: sample-namespace
stringData:
  # Please follow MSDP guide for the credential characters and length.
