Creating native users for testing
For testing or demo environments, you can simplify operations by adding native users. For production deployments, we strongly recommend configuring an external IdP.
Currently, you can't create human users with the Hybrid Manager (HM) console. You can do so only by tweaking the HM configuration file.
Adding a native user
Append new users to the portal.authentication.staticPasswords section during or after installation. Replace this value either in your values.yaml file or HybridControlPlane custom resource, depending on the installation method you use.
portal: authentication: staticPasswords: - email: "owner@mycompany.com" hash: "$2y$10$STTzuGJa3PydqHvlzi2z6OgDU1G/JLTqiuGblH.RemIutWxkztN5m" username: "owner@mycompany.com" userID: "c5998173-a605-449a-a9a5-4a9c33e26df7" - email: "<userA@example.com>" hash: "<example_hashed_password>" username: "<userA@example.com>" userID: "<unique_user_id>"
Apply the DEX configuration to populate the changes.
Parameters
These settings are for the user in the portal.authentication.staticPasswords entry. Each user needs values for email, hash, username, and userID.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
email | Email address of the user. Also serves as the user's login identifier for accessing the HM console. |
hash | Bcrypt-hashed user password for password store. To generate this value, use echo ${password} | htpasswd -BinC 10 userA | cut -d: -f2, where the actual password is stored behind the ${password} variable. userA represents the username used during the password hashing process. It can be any arbitrary text, as it's not used elsewhere in the configuration. Only the resulting hash is used. |
userID | Each new user configured with a static password must have a distinct, unique identifier for the user (uuid). You can choose to generate this value with a UUID generator tool or assign a random sequence of characters manually. |
username | Unique username for the user. This is the primary identifier for logging into the HM console. It can be the same as email. |
