Unable to Add Private Helm Chart Repository with Basic Authentication

[syamprasadchitluri]

I am trying to add a private Helm chart repository to my cluster, but I am unable to do so using basic username and password authentication. The only authentication method supported is through certificates. However, in some cases, users may only have configured their registry to authenticate using the basic method, and this leaves them unable to use the CRD's projectHelmChartRepository or HelmChartRepository in their clusters.

Is there a workaround or solution to this issue? Is there any plan to support basic authentication for private Helm chart repositories in the future? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
