The Secret secret name is invalid secret name a DNS-1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters - or and must start and end with an alphanumeric character

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a secret in the Openshift cluster. But it is showing me the below error.

$ oc create secret generic secret_name --from-literal key1=secret1 --from-literal key2=secret2 -n myproj
The Secret "secret_name" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "secret_name": a DNS-1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character (e.g. 'example.com', regex used for validation is '[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*') 

How can I solve this error?

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

You are using the wrong syntax in your command. You can not use underscore in your command. Openshift will not allow underscores in the commands. So you need to modify your command as shown below.

$ oc create secret generic secret-name --from-literal key1=secret1 --from-literal key2=secret2 -n myproj

I hope this will solve your error.
