Cannot view api via browser - Unauthorized

[gainax1]

Having gone through the tutorial step by step, when I list the cluster info kubectl cluster-info, I see the following:

Kubernetes master is running at https://kubernetes-xxxxxxxx.eu-west-1.elb.amazonaws.com:6443

Going to that URL, gives me a 401 Unauthorized.

I'm guessing it should either redirect me to the api list, or, ask for basic auth user/password?

Once everything is running, I have been able to run kubectl proxy on my local machine and then I could visit the dashboard via localhost:8001 in my browser.

kubectl create -f https://rawgit.com/kubernetes/dashboard/master/src/deploy/kubernetes-dashboard.yaml
kubectl proxy

I believe this is some background into why it isn't very friendly out of the box: kubernetes/kubernetes#7307

@dylanmei, Thanks for that. Unfortunately, this returns the following:

<h3>Unauthorized</h3>

EDIT:

Scrap that, seems to work fine!

I also get <h3>Unauthorized</h3>

I think this is actually due to the URL being used not being localhost. Use kubectl proxy to set it to a localhost address.

had to append "/ui", then it worked.
in my terminal:

kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001

in my browser, navigated to.
localhost:8001/ui

the "/ui" is important.

Kube proxy is the way to go and before you can use the dashboard you'll have to deploy the dashboard add-on. This guide only provides instructions for the DNS add-on so you'll have to figure out how to install the dashboard the hard way.
