Description:

You're troubleshooting a Kubernetes deployment where an application is failing to authenticate using a configured Secret. Other Secrets in the same environment work correctly, indicating the issue is isolated to this specific secret rather than the application code. The original password can be found in /home/lab/password.txt The base64-encoded secret can be found in /home/lab/secret.txt

Tasks:

• Figure out why the current secret is not valid.
• Put the correct secret in /home/lab/secret.txt .
