I'm attempting to put my AD domain credentials into the YAML config file created by rancher so that I may use vSphere storage within Rancher / Kubernetes, however, I'm running into an issue with the formatting of the virtual_center config portion:

(...)
    virtual_center:
        <IP>:
            (...)
            user: "DOMAIN/username"
            password: <PASSWORD>

The cluster doesn't seem to like a backslash (or two backslashes including the escape character), and it also doesn't seem to like a forward slash.

How should I enter my domain credentials in here?

EDIT

nvm, i figured it out.

JK, answer below.
