Unable to log in to RabbitMQ's web management interface on Kubernetes

I am having issues logging in to RabbitMQ through its web management interface when using a custom username and password.

I have an empty microk8s based kubernetes environment and I try to install RabbitMQ like so:

  1. Install while setting the username and the password:
helm install rabbitmq bitnami/rabbitmq --version 6.27.1 --set auth.username=yolo123,auth.password=prettypig_012
  1. All good, wait for the pod to go online.
  2. Forward ports to be able to access the management interface:
kubectl port-forward rabbitmq-0 5672 15672
  1. Access the management through localhost:15672
  2. Enter yolo123 and prettypig_012 as username/password.
  3. Login failed message appears and the user cannot log in.

Are my expectations about logging in wrong here?

Note that I am able to log-in with user user and the auto-generated password in the secret resource created with RabbitMQ installation.

RabbitMQ version

Helm chart: 6.27.1

As seen in this commit, auth.username and auth.password should be used with Chart version 7.x.x.

For 6.27.1 version use rabbitmq.username and rabbitmq.password
