Context

Accessing certain resources in NATS requires system_account privileges. Kyma automatically generates a system account user using a Secret dubbed eventing-nats-secret in the kyma-system Namespace.

Procedure

To acquire the credentials, run the following command:

kubectl get secrets -n kyma-system eventing-nats-secret -ogo-template='{{index .data "resolver.conf"|base64decode}}'| grep 'user:' | tr -d '{}'

Result:

You get the credentials for the system account user in the following format:

user: admin, password: <your password>

Next steps:

1. To access the NATS server with the nats-cli tool, forward its port:
   Click to copy

   kubectl port-forward -n kyma-system svc/eventing-nats 4222

2. To send your NATS commands, pass the credentials:
   Click to copy

   nats server info --user admin --password <your password>
