Hello everybody.  
While deploying latest version of AWX I get stuck with awx-manager stdout log quoted below, please take a look ( tail ):

Hi folks!

I finally get it.  
“Store Database Configuration” play error occures when secret manifest does not include those host and port and database (in my case) key-value pairs.

Not obvious! If i need my db instance to be managed by Operator then the “host” and the “port” strings are excessive here.

Finally, that works fine:

```auto
cat > $DEPLOYMENT <<EOF
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: $PGSECRETNAME
namespace: $NAMESPACE
stringData:
host: awx-postgres
port: "5432"
database: awx
username: awx
password: $PGPASSWORD
type: managed
type: Opaque

```

Conclusion:  
**Each of: host, port, database, username and password should be defined for type: managed secret.**

Thank you for your time!
