Authentication

The ArangoDB Kubernetes Operator will by default create ArangoDB deploymentsthat require authentication to access the database.

It uses a single JWT secret (stored in a Kubernetes secret)to provide super-user access between all servers of the deploymentas well as access from the ArangoDB Operator to the deployment.

To disable authentication, set spec.auth.jwtSecretName to None.

Initially the deployment is accessible through the web user-interface andAPIs, using the user root with an empty password.Make sure to change this password immediately after starting the deployment!
