Helm chart livenessProbe fails due to authentication required

[pantovad]

The provided ActiveMQ Helm chart livenessProbe fails with 401 as httpGet on /admin endpoint requires authentication that is not provided.
Thus the Pod keep restarting. The chart from @kenliao94 uses tcpSocket method in livenessProbe same like with readinessProbe.

I just encountered this issue.
The problem is that the liveness probe is hard wired to use the httpGet type that cannot be changed because the helm values merging and the way the template is configured.
The problem does not occur when authentication is disabled, which is also not that directly configurable, but the default behavior is auth on so it doesn't work out of the box.
A new solution should allow to turn probes on and off.
I also managed to do a workaround by providing a http authorization header with the correct value, which is the username and password from the broker config:

livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    httpHeaders:
      - name: Authorization
        value: "Basic <base64 encode of 'admin:admin'>"

But this seems like too much effort just to get the chart working with default settings
