unknown command "oidc-login" for "kubectl"

[clbarrett]

Describe the issue

I have a new computer and am trying to get kubectl working on Windows 11. Installed Kubectl, signed into my AKS server and got the kube login error. Did a Chocolaty install kubelogin, rebooted my git bash terminal and ran kubectl oidc-login setup. But kubectl is not recognizing oidc-login.

To reproduce

Run the following command in a git bash terminal
kubectl oidc-login / kubectl oidc-login setup

Your environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Terminal: Git Bash
• kubelogin 1.28.0
• kubectl version: e.g. v1.29.1
• OpenID Connect provider: NA

Same here. Any ideas?

@j-q-in-berlin Here's what I found works:
kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli

Weirdly though this has to be done every time after running az aks get-credentials. Which I ended up having to incorporate into my build pipelines as I'm using self-hosted build agents.

Thank you!

Glad it helped.

I'm going to close this issue as I did have it resolved. I will note that it is very odd that I have to continuously run the kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli every time I get the aks credentials. My build agents support multiple AKS clusters and it is slightly awkward to have to convert every time.
