Credentials

Creating credentials for a WebLogic domain

This sample demonstrates how to create a Kubernetes Secret containing the credentials for a WebLogic domain. The operator expects this secret to be named following the pattern domainUID-weblogic-credentials, where domainUID is the unique identifier of the domain. It must be in the same namespace that the domain will run in.

To use the sample, run the command:

$ ./create-weblogic-credentials.sh -u <username> -p <password> -d domainUID -n namespace -s secretName

The parameters are as follows:

  -u user name, must be specified.
  -p password, must be provided using the -p argument or user will be prompted to enter a value.
  -d domainUID, optional. The default value is domain1. If specified, the secret will be labeled with the domainUID unless the given value is an empty string.
  -n namespace, optional. Use the default namespace if not specified.
  -s secretName, optional. If not specified, the secret name will be determined based on the domainUID value.

This creates a generic secret containing the user name and password as literal values.

You can check the secret with the kubectl get secret command. The following example is shown, including the output:

$ kubectl -n domain-namespace-1 get secret domain1-weblogic-credentials -o yaml

apiVersion: v1
data:
  username: <user name>
  password: <password>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: 2018-12-12T20:25:20Z
  labels:
    weblogic.domainName: domain1
    weblogic.domainUID: domain1
  name: domain1-weblogic-credentials
  namespace: domain-namespace-1
  resourceVersion: "5680"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/domain-namespace-1/secrets/domain1-weblogic-credentials
  uid: 0c2b3510-fe4c-11e8-994d-00001700101d
type: Opaque

where <user name> and <password> are to be replaced with their actual values.
