using bitwarden secrets in different namespace from sm-operator should be working without authToken

[victorbiga]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create secret in bitwarden UI
2. Create secret in different namespace to where sm-operator is deployed

Expected Result

INFO	Syncing  sm-operator/bitwardensecret-sample	{"controller": "bitwardensecret", "controllerGroup": "k8s.bitwarden.com", "controllerKind": "BitwardenSecret", "BitwardenSecret": {"name":"bitwardensecret-sample","namespace":"sm-operator"}, "namespace": "sm-operator", "name": "bitwardensecret-sample", "reconcileID": "7dased4f-a07f-48e2-b329-e68004142902"}

Actual Result

"error": "Secret \"bw-auth-token\" not found"}

Creating secret in different namespace should work without providing below, this should be handled by the operator

  authToken:
    secretName: bw-auth-token
    secretKey: token

This is deployed in sm-operator namespace and referencing this secret across namespace is not possible without replication.

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

we also stumbled upon this weird behaviour, is this intended?
Maybe this issue should be moved to the kubernetes-operator repository: https://github.com/bitwarden/sm-kubernetes

I used this kubernetes-reflector to basically copy the access token to different namespaces. Still quite bad solution but it works for my needs and cba to setup ESO via bitwarden:
