Images mirrored to Quay can't be pulled in RHOCP

Issue

• Images are being mirrored into the quay registry using the following command with success.

  $ oc adm catalog mirror <source_registry> <destination_registry> -a ./.dockerconfigjson --insecure
  

• However, the pod deployment, using that mirrored image, fails with an authentication error:

  Warning  Failed          13s                kubelet            Failed to pull image "<destination_registry>/<repository>/<image>:<tag>": rpc error: code = Unknown desc = reading manifest 1-191a in <destination_registry>/<repository>/<image>:<tag>: unauthorized: access to the requested resource is not authorized
  

• Is it possible to change the Quay configuration so that the default setting when a new repository is pushed is "public"?
