The ldap machine identity authentication method is used to authenticate with Infisical using the configured LDAP directory. The username and password needs to be stored in a Kubernetes secret. This block defines the reference to the name and namespace of secret that stores these credentials.
<Steps>
<Step title="Create a machine identity">
You need to create a machine identity, and give it access to the project(s) you want to interact with. You can [read more about machine identities here](/documentation/platform/identities/universal-auth).
</Step>
<Step title="Create Kubernetes secret containing machine identity credentials">
Once you have created your machine identity and added it to your project(s), you will need to create a Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials.
To quickly create a Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials, you can run the command below.
Make sure you replace `<your-identity-ldap-username>` with the identity ldap username and `<your-identity-ldap-password>` with the identity ldap password.
``` bash
kubectl create secret generic ldap-auth-credentials --from-literal=username="<your-identity-ldap-username>" --from-literal=password="<your-identity-ldap-password>"
```
</Step>
<Step title="Add reference for the Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials">
Once the secret is created, add the `secretName` and `secretNamespace` of the secret that was just created under `authentication.ldapAuth.credentialsRef` field in the InfisicalSecret resource.
</Step>
</Steps>
<Info>
Make sure to also populate the `secretsScope` field with the project slug
_`projectSlug`_, environment slug _`envSlug`_, and secrets path
_`secretsPath`_ that you want to fetch secrets from. Please see the example
below.

When a managed secret is updated, the operator checks for any Deployments, DaemonSets, or StatefulSets that consume the updated secret and have the annotation
`secrets.infisical.com/auto-reload: "true"`. For each matching workload, the operator triggers a rolling restart to ensure it picks up the latest secret values.
