Creating a secret to hold IBM Content Cortex credentials

Before you enable IBM Content Collector IBM Content Cortex Content Search Services Support, create secrets manually to protect your Content Cortex configuration data and credentials.

About this task

Before you deploy, you must create a secret for the security details of the login credentials for the Content Platform Engine services. This login user ID must have domain-wide read access to all documents to be indexed. Using your values, run the following command:

kubectl create secret generic ibm-icc-secret \
--from-literal=archiveUserId="p8ICCuser" \
--from-literal=archivePassword="xxxxxxxx"

The secret that you create, ibm-icc-secret, is the value for the parameter icc_secret_name.
