Accessing Kubernetes API using username and password












0















I'm am currently configuring Heketi Server (Deployed on K8S clusterA) to interact with my Glusterfs cluster that is deployed as a DaemonSet on another K8S cluster ClusterB.



One of the configurations required by Heketi to connect to GlusterFS K8S cluster are :



    "kubeexec": {
"host" :"https://<URL-OF-CLUSTER-WITH-GLUSTERFS>:6443",
"cert" : "<CERTIFICATE-OF-CLUSTER-WITH-GLUSTERFS>",
"insecure": false,
"user": "WHERE_DO_I_GET_THIS_FROM",
"password": "<WHERE_DO_I_GET_THIS_FROM>",
"namespace": "default",
"backup_lvm_metadata": false
},


As you can see, it requires a user and password. I have no idea where to get that from.
One thing that comes to mind is creating a service account on ClusterB and using the token to authenticate but Heketi does not seem to be taking that as an authentication mechanism.



The cert is something that I got from /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/kube-ca.crt but I have no idea where to get the user/password from. Any idea what could be done?



If I do a kubectl config view I only see certificates for the admin user of my cluster.

          That could only mean one thing: basic HTTP auth.



          You can specify a username/password in a file when you start the kube-apiserver with the --basic-auth-file=SOMEFILE option.
