Static authentication class is not working

Current and expected behavior

I tried to configure static authentication class for my superset cluster.

the authentication class itself worked:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: superset-users-credentials  
type: kubernetes.io/opaque
stringData:
  test1: test123

---
apiVersion: authentication.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: AuthenticationClass
metadata:
  name: superset-users
spec:
  provider:
    static:
      userCredentialsSecret:
        name: superset-users-credentials

but when i used this authenticationClass in the SupersetCluster instance i got this error:

2024-12-31T16:02:44.845314Z ERROR stackable_operator::logging::controller: Failed to reconcile object controller.name="supersetcluster.superset.stackable.tech" error=reconciler for object SupersetCluster.v1alpha1.superset.stackable.tech/simple-superset.analytics failed error.sources=[failed to apply authentication configuration, failed to use authentication provider "Static" for authentication class "superset-users" - supported providers: ["LDAP", "OIDC"]]

this is the SupersetCluster.yaml file:

---
apiVersion: superset.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: SupersetCluster
metadata:
  name: simple-superset
  namespace: analytics
spec:
  image:
    productVersion: 4.0.2
  clusterConfig:
    credentialsSecret: simple-superset-credentials
    authentication:
    - authenticationClass: superset-users

any suggestions?

None

Start with the AuthenticationClass and SupersetCluster.yaml examples in the report, then trace the SupersetCluster authentication reconciliation that emits the supported-providers error. Compare the existing LDAP and OIDC handling with the requested static provider. Done means a static AuthenticationClass is accepted and the SupersetCluster reconciles successfully.
