Retrieve the MarkLogic admin credentials

If credentials were not provided for the admin user when installing the MarkLogic Chart, a randomly generated alphanumeric value was used. This value is stored in Kubernetes Secrets.

To retrieve the randomly generated admin credentials from Kubernetes Secrets:

1. List the secrets for a MarkLogic deployment by entering this command:

   Copy

   kubectl get secrets -n <release-namespace>
   

2. Find the appropriate secret. The secret generated by the Helm Chart has the format <release-name>-admin. For example, if release-name = marklogic, the secret that contains the admin username, password, and wallet password is marklogic-admin.

3. Retrieve the encoded credentials by entering this command:

   Copy

   kubectl get secret marklogic-admin -n <release-namespace> SECRET_NAME -o jsonpath='{.data}'
   

4. Use the output to decode the credentials. For example, if the encoded password is UyFCXCpkJHpEc2I9, enter this command to decode the password:

   Copy

   echo 'UyFCXCpkJHpEc2I9' | base64 --decode
   

5. Repeat the process described in step 4 for the username and wallet password.
