Add token to the kube config file for kubernetes dashboard

[arcalys]

Hi,

Kubernetes dashboard does not support auth-provider when trying to log in with the config file instead of a token, it needs a token at the same level as the auth-provider under user, e.g.:

- name: username
  user:
    auth-provider:
      config:
        client-id: id
        client-secret: secret
        id-token: token
        idp-issuer-url: https://accounts.google.com
        refresh-token: xx
      name: oidc
    token: token

Would be nice if the generated token could be added as well in order for the kubeconfig file to be usable to log in as well.

Ooh seconded

Another idea would be to support a command to print out the current id_token for a copy/paste into the login page

kubelogin --token

Thank you for your proposal. I am developing kauthproxy, an authentication proxy working with kubelogin. We can access the Kubernetes Dashboard through kauthproxy and there is no plan to add this feature for now.

It may be valuable if kubelogin has an authentication proxy feature (i.e. integrate kubelogin with kauthproxy), but I cannot decide it for now. Any suggestion is welcome!

kauthproxy looks interesting.

Hope it is able to pick an unused port and open the browser automatically :)

After posting this I did also find your kubernetes dashboard proxy and have been happily using that in the mean time.

This may be a FAQ and I will add the topic to README.

Hope it is able to pick an unused port and open the browser automatically :)
Thank you for your idea!
