kubectl config set-credentials
kubectl config set-credentials
Sets a user entry in kubeconfig
Synopsis
Sets a user entry in kubeconfig
Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values.
Client-certificate flags: –client-certificate=certfile –client-key=keyfile
Bearer token flags: –token=bearer_token
Basic auth flags: –username=basic_user –password=basic_password
Bearer token and basic auth are mutually exclusive.

kubectl config set-credentials cluster-admin --client-key=~/.kube/admin.key
# Set basic auth for the "cluster-admin" entry
kubectl config set-credentials cluster-admin --username=admin --password=uXFGweU9l35qcif
