On Udemy course, I tried to configure basic authentication, I have set everything correct in the kubeapiserver manifest file, all of a sudden the respective container goes down and the following error is shown in the container log.
Error: unknown flag: --basic-auth-file

Thank you so much, is there any equivalent for basic auth?

–basic-auth-file flag has been removed on Kubernetes v1.19. On the release notes for v1.19 Notes | Kubernetes it says:

ACTION REQUIRED: Support for basic authentication via the --basic-auth-file flag has been removed. Users should migrate to --token-auth-file for similar functionality. (#89069, @enj) [SIG API Machinery]
