Ensure the --basic-auth-file argument is not Set
Error: The --basic-auth-file argument is Set
Bridgecrew Policy ID: BC_K8S_47
Checkov Check ID: CKV_K8S_69
Severity: LOW
The --basic-auth-file argument is Set
Description
Do not use basic authentication. Basic authentication uses plaintext credentials for authentication. Currently, the basic authentication credentials last indefinitely, and the password cannot be changed without restarting the API server. The basic authentication is currently supported for convenience. Hence, basic authentication should not be used.
