Add Users

After installing Kloudfuse, add users and manage their credentials.

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

Follow these steps:

Connect to your Kloudfuse kubernetes cluster.
Drop the content of the users.txt file.

If it exists, the file is in htpassword format.
```
rm -f users.txt
```
Retrieve the users.txt file in the kfuse-auth-users secret, and save it locally. Otherwise, create a users.txt file.
```
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.
Create or change the user’s password.

This example is for user testuser. For an admin user, use admin.
```
htpasswd -Bn testuser >> users.txt
```
Ensure that the users.txt file does not have empty lines between users.
```
sed -i '' '/^$/d' users.txt
```
If the users.txt file does not end with a new line, ensure that it does by running the following command.
```
echo "" >> users.txt
```
Encode the users.txt file using base64 format.
```
cat users.txt | base64
```
Use the following command to edit the existing kfuse-auth-users secret.
```
kubectl edit secret kfuse-auth-users
```
Otherwise, create a new Kubernetes secret, kfuse-auth-users.
```
kubectl apply -f kfuse-auth-users
```

Use the output of cat users.txt| base64 as the value of users.txt entry in the secret.

apiVersion: v1
data:
  users.txt: |-
    <base64-encoded-value>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: kfuse-auth-users
type: Opaque

Restart kfuse-auth deployment.

kubectl -n kfuse rollout restart deployment kfuse-auth

After you log in with the new user/password credentials for the first time, these appear in the Admin > Users interface.
