AuthInfo
Appears in:
AuthInfo contains information that describes identity information. This is use to tell the kubernetes cluster who you are.
Field | Description |
---|---|
client-certificate string
|
ClientCertificate is the path to a client cert file for TLS. |
client-certificate-data []byte
|
ClientCertificateData contains PEM-encoded data from a client cert file for TLS. Overrides ClientCertificate |
client-key string
|
ClientKey is the path to a client key file for TLS. |
client-key-data []byte
|
ClientKeyData contains PEM-encoded data from a client key file for TLS. Overrides ClientKey |
token string
|
Token is the bearer token for authentication to the kubernetes cluster. |
tokenFile string
|
TokenFile is a pointer to a file that contains a bearer token (as described above). If both Token and TokenFile are present, Token takes precedence. |
as string
|
Impersonate is the username to impersonate. The name matches the flag. |
as-uid string
|
ImpersonateUID is the uid to impersonate. |
as-groups []string
|
ImpersonateGroups is the groups to impersonate. |
as-user-extra map[string][]string
|
ImpersonateUserExtra contains additional information for impersonated user. |
username string
|
Username is the username for basic authentication to the kubernetes cluster. |
password string
|
Password is the password for basic authentication to the kubernetes cluster. |
auth-provider AuthProviderConfig
|
AuthProvider specifies a custom authentication plugin for the kubernetes cluster. |
exec ExecConfig
|
Exec specifies a custom exec-based authentication plugin for the kubernetes cluster. |
extensions []NamedExtension
|
Extensions holds additional information. This is useful for extenders so that reads and writes don't clobber unknown fields |
AuthProviderConfig
Appears in:
AuthProviderConfig holds the configuration for a specified auth provider.
Field | Description |
---|---|
name [Required]string
|
No description provided. |
config [Required]map[string]string
|
No description provided. |
Cluster
Appears in:
Cluster contains information about how to communicate with a kubernetes cluster
Field | Description |
---|---|
server [Required]string
|
Server is the address of the kubernetes cluster (https://hostname:port). |
tls-server-name string
|
TLSServerName is used to check server certificate. If TLSServerName is empty, the hostname used to contact the server is used. |
insecure-skip-tls-verify bool
|
InsecureSkipTLSVerify skips the validity check for the server's certificate. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure. |
certificate-authority string
|
CertificateAuthority is the path to a cert file for the certificate authority. |
certificate-authority-data []byte
|
CertificateAuthorityData contains PEM-encoded certificate authority certificates. Overrides CertificateAuthority |
proxy-url string
|
ProxyURL is the URL to the proxy to be used for all requests made by this client. URLs with "http", "https", and "socks5" schemes are supported. If this configuration is not provided or the empty string, the client attempts to construct a proxy configuration from http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables. If these environment variables are not set, the client does not attempt to proxy requests. socks5 proxying does not currently support spdy streaming endpoints (exec, attach, port forward). |
disable-compression bool
|
DisableCompression allows client to opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server. This is useful to speed up requests (specifically lists) when client-server network bandwidth is ample, by saving time on compression (server-side) and decompression (client-side): https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/112296. |
extensions []NamedExtension
|
Extensions holds additional information. This is useful for extenders so that reads and writes don't clobber unknown fields |
Context
Appears in:
Context is a tuple of references to a cluster (how do I communicate with a kubernetes cluster), a user (how do I identify myself), and a namespace (what subset of resources do I want to work with)
Field | Description |
---|---|
cluster [Required]string
|
Cluster is the name of the cluster for this context |
user [Required]string
|
AuthInfo is the name of the authInfo for this context |
namespace string
|
Namespace is the default namespace to use on unspecified requests |
extensions []NamedExtension
|
Extensions holds additional information. This is useful for extenders so that reads and writes don't clobber unknown fields |
ExecConfig
Appears in:
ExecConfig specifies a command to provide client credentials. The command is exec'd and outputs structured stdout holding credentials.
See the client.authentication.k8s.io API group for specifications of the exact input and output format
Field | Description |
---|---|
command [Required]string
|
Command to execute. |
args []string
|
Arguments to pass to the command when executing it. |
env []ExecEnvVar
|
Env defines additional environment variables to expose to the process. These are unioned with the host's environment, as well as variables client-go uses to pass argument to the plugin. |
apiVersion [Required]string
|
Preferred input version of the ExecInfo. The returned ExecCredentials MUST use the same encoding version as the input. |
installHint [Required]string
|
This text is shown to the user when the executable doesn't seem to be
present. For example, |
provideClusterInfo [Required]bool
|
ProvideClusterInfo determines whether or not to provide cluster information, which could potentially contain very large CA data, to this exec plugin as a part of the KUBERNETES_EXEC_INFO environment variable. By default, it is set to false. Package k8s.io/client-go/tools/auth/exec provides helper methods for reading this environment variable. |
interactiveMode ExecInteractiveMode
|
InteractiveMode determines this plugin's relationship with standard input. Valid values are "Never" (this exec plugin never uses standard input), "IfAvailable" (this exec plugin wants to use standard input if it is available), or "Always" (this exec plugin requires standard input to function). See ExecInteractiveMode values for more details. If APIVersion is client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1 or client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1, then this field is optional and defaults to "IfAvailable" when unset. Otherwise, this field is required. |
