Description

Should these credential helpers work in a Swarm? I'm using docker-credential-pass and I can see it working okay on the Swarm manager. But when I execute docker stack deploy --with-registry-auth the nodes don't seem to receive credentials correctly anymore (with or without same cred helper on worker nodes).

I'm reviewing https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/31063 but can't seem to find docs on this behavior.
