CSIDriverSpec.serviceAccountTokenInSecrets

serviceAccountTokenInSecrets is an opt-in for CSI drivers to indicate that service account tokens should be passed via the Secrets field in NodePublishVolumeRequest instead of the VolumeContext field. The CSI specification provides a dedicated Secrets field for sensitive information like tokens, which is the appropriate mechanism for handling credentials. This addresses security concerns where sensitive tokens were being logged as part of volume context. When "true", kubelet will pass the tokens only in the Secrets field with the key "csi.storage.k8s.io/serviceAccount.tokens". The CSI driver must be updated to read tokens from the Secrets field instead of VolumeContext. When "false" or not set, kubelet will pass the tokens in VolumeContext with the key "csi.storage.k8s.io/serviceAccount.tokens" (existing behavior). This maintains backward compatibility with existing CSI drivers. This field can only be set when TokenRequests is configured. The API server will reject CSIDriver specs that set this field without TokenRequests. Default behavior if unset is to pass tokens in the VolumeContext field.
