I am running shinyproxy operator on pure docker hosts. I want to set up ldap integration with the shinyproxy login. Is there a way to secure the ldap manager password and pass it in as an environment variable or do i need to store the password in plaintext in localhost.shinyproxy.yml? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I could not find an answer when searching
