Disable webtop authentication in Holodeck 9.1

As you have likely discovered, Holodeck 9.1 ships with basic authentication enabled on the integrated desktop environment, webtop.

Let’s agree on the following:

1. You understand that sending creds over clear text is a bad idea and you understand the risks of doing so.
2. You understand that I’m not liable for your bad decisions.

Here’s how to disable basic auth on webtop.

SSH into Holorouter and run vi /holodeck-runtime/k8s/webtop_deployment.yaml. and remove the PASSWORD and CUSTOM_USER environment variables.

Now run kubectl apply -f /holodeck-runtime/k8s/webtop_deployment.yaml then reload webtop.
