## Quick Start
### Non-HA:
```
kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v1.0.2/manifests/install.yaml
```
### HA:
```

kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v1.0.2/manifests/ha/install.yaml
```
### Changes since v1.0.1
* Cluster registration was unintentionally persisting client-cert auth credentials (#1742)
## Checking if Argo CD is storing unneccesry credentials.
The following instructions explain if any action is needed to remove certificate-authentication data from Argo CD:
1. Run the following command and see if you see key data. If there is non-null output (e.g. output like the following), then Argo CD is storing unnecessary credentials and the cluster credentials should be re-added.
```shell
kubectl get secret cluster-192.168.64.66-892108214 -o json | jq -r '.data.config' | base64 --decode | jq -r '.tlsClientConfig.keyData'

```
If the secret does not contain key data (i.e. output like the following), then no action is necessary:
```shell
$ kubectl get secret cluster-192.168.64.66-892108214 -o json | jq -r '.data.config' | base64 --decode | jq -r '.tlsClientConfig.keyData'
null
```
2. If key data is stored in the secret, run the following commands to re-add the cluster to Argo CD. **_IMPORTANT_**: ensure you are using argocd v1.0.2 CLI or greater.
```shell
$ argocd cluster rm CLUSTERURL
$ argocd cluster add CONTEXTNAME
```
