Why am I receiving a warning message when logging into helm to install the Logging agent?

When logging in to the helm registry you receive a message that using a password on the CLI is insecure.

When running a command similar to the following to log in to the helm registry:

helm registry login -u iambearer -p $(ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens --output json | jq -r .iam_token | cut -d " " -f2) icr.io

Windows Windows PowerShell users should use this command instead:

helm registry login -u iambearer -p ((ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens --output json | ConvertFrom-Json).iam_token -replace 'Bearer ', '') icr.io

A message similar to the following is returned:

WARNING: Using --password via the CLI is insecure. Use --password-stdin.
Error: Get "https://icr.io/v2/": unauthorized: {"errors":[{"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"Authorization required. See https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-troubleshoot-auth-req","detail":"Authorization required. See https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-troubleshoot-auth-req"}]}

Your environment might have a proxy in place that is dropping the headers that include the access token.

Do the following to determine if a proxy is in place and install the Logging agent a different way or resolve your proxy configuration.

1. Run the following command to determine if a proxy is in place and is causing the problem.

   curl -v https://icr.io/v2/
   

2. If the command returns 401, use the Cloud Shell to deploy the Logging agent using the Logging agent deployment steps.
