A Project Secret can be created using the Kommander UI:

A Project Secret is simply a Kubernetes FederatedConfigSecret and can also be created using kubectl:

cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: types.kubefed.io/v1beta1
kind: FederatedSecret
metadata:
  generateName: secret1-
  namespace: ${projectns}
spec:
  placement:
    clusterSelector: {}
  template:
    data:
      key: dmFsdWU=
EOF
Copy

Ensure the projectns variable is set before executing the command.

Note: The value of the key is base64 encoded.

Then, if you run the following command on a Kubernetes cluster associated with the Project, you’ll see a Kubernetes Secret Object, in the corresponding namespace:

$ kubectl -n ${projectns} get secret secret1-r9vk2 -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
  key: dmFsdWU=
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-06-04T16:51:59Z"
  labels:
    kubefed.io/managed: "true"
  name: secret1-r9vk2
  namespace: project1-5ljs9-lhvjl
  resourceVersion: "137215"
