Add Users

After installing Kloudfuse, add users and manage their credentials.

The user appears in the Admin > Users interface after they log in for the first time.

Follow these steps:

Connect to your Kloudfuse kubernetes cluster.
Drop the content of the htpasswd users.txt file, if it exits.
```
rm -f users.txt
```

Generate a secret for the user.

kubectl get secret -n kfuse kfuse-auth-users -o json | jq -r '.data."users.txt"' | base64 -d > users.txt

(Optional) If changing the password of a user, then remove existing entry for that user from users.txt file.
Ensure that the users.txt file ends with a new line.
```
echo "" >> users.txt
```

Create or change password for the user.

This example is for user testuser. For admin user, use admin.

htpasswd -Bn testuser >> users.txt

Be sure to add each user on a separate line of the `users.txt` file.

Create a base64 encoding for the contents of the users.txt file.
```
cat users.txt | base64
```
Create a Kubernetes secret and call it kfuse-auth-users.

Use the output of cat users.txt| base64 as the value of users.txt entry in the secret, as we demonstrate in the following example. Use the following command if you are editing the existing secret.
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
  users.txt: |-
    <base64-encoded-value>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: kfuse-auth-users
type: Opaque
```
Alternatively, update the existing secret.
```
kubectl edit secret kfuse-auth-users
```
(Optional): Skip this step if adding a new user or updating the password for an existing user.

Update your custom-values.yaml to point to the kfuse-auth-users secret.
```
     kfuse-auth:
           oauth2-proxy:
                htpasswdFile:
                    existingSecret: kfuse-auth-users
```

Restart kfuse-auth deployment.

kubectl -n kfuse rollout restart deployment kfuse-auth
