Creating an image pull secret

Create an image pull secret in your Red Hat OpenShift namespace to allow the cluster to pull container images from the IBM Entitled Registry.

1. To create an image pull secret by using the Red Hat OpenShift web console, complete the following steps:
   1. Ensure that the target namespace is selected as the current project in the Red Hat OpenShift web console.
   2. Click Secrets under the Workloads main menu on the left-hand side of the console screen.
   3. Click the Create button, and select the Image Pull Secret option from the drop-down menu.
   4. Configure the following values in the form:
      • Secret Name: Type the name that you want to use for the secret (record this name for the Helm installation).
      • Authentication Type: Select Image Registry Credentials.
      • Registry Server Address: Type cp.icr.io.
      • Username: Type iamapikey (or the specific username provided with your entitlement).
      • Password: Type the API key value provided with your entitlement.
      • Email: Type your email address (optional).
   5. Click Create.
2. To create the secret from the command-line interface, run the oc create secret command:

   oc create secret docker-registry <secret_name> \
     -n <target_namespace> \
     --docker-server=cp.icr.io \
     --docker-username=iamapikey \
     --docker-password=<password> \
     --docker-email=<email>
