Create a KonnectAPIAuthConfiguration object
Depending on your preferences, you can create a KonnectAPIAuthConfiguration object with the token specified directly in the spec or as a reference to a Kubernetes Secret. In the CRD, the serverURL should be set to the Konnect API url in the region where your account is located.
echo '
kind: KonnectAPIAuthConfiguration
apiVersion: konnect.konghq.com/v1alpha1
metadata:
name: konnect-api-auth
namespace: kong
spec:
type: token
token: "'$KONNECT_TOKEN'"
serverURL: us.api.konghq.com
' | kubectl apply -f -
Validate
Run the following command to verify that the authentication configuration was created successfully:
