-o go-template='{{.data.KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD | base64decode }}'
```
Access the Wallaroo Authentication service through a browser as an administrator. The Wallaroo Authentication Service URL is in the format $WALLAROODOMAIN/auth. For example, if the Wallaroo Domain is wallaroo.example.com then the Wallaroo Authentication Service URL would be wallaroo.example.com/auth.
