<p>I'm attempting to put my AD domain credentials into the YAML config file created by rancher so that I may use vSphere storage within Rancher / Kubernetes, however, I'm running into an issue with the formatting of the <code>virtual_center</code> config portion:</p>

<pre><code>(...)
    virtual_center:
        &lt;IP&gt;:
            (...)
            user: "DOMAIN/username"
            password: &lt;PASSWORD&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The cluster doesn't seem to like a backslash (or two backslashes including the escape character), and it also doesn't seem to like a forward slash.</p>

<p>How should I enter my domain credentials in here?</p>

<p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>

<p>nvm, i figured it out.</p>

<p>JK, answer below.</p>

<p>Apparently the solution is to use a <code>user@domain.site.local</code> format rather than a <code>DOMAIN\user</code> format.</p>
