Cron Connector stuck in crash loop when installing

[kferrone]

Expected Behaviour

The cron-connector should install without issue.

Current Behaviour

When I install the cron-connector using the helm chart with the following values set:

basicAuth: false

I get this error in the pod for the connector and it never fully installs:

I would really recommend that you don't turn basic authentication off for internal components.

If you use openfaas as recommended, does this problem go away?
