Unauthorized error when creating a job

[OberstHorst]

Hey,

i want to create Job using the Java Kubernetes API. My tool runs fine when using a minikube cluster, but fails if i try to execute it against a (testing) Kubernetes cluster that was deployed using ubuntu conjure-up. The cluster has been modified to deny anonymous access and uses RBAC and Node authorization and basic auth authentication. i can use kubectl create -f foo.yaml to create a job, when i try to create a job using the Java API it returns:

io.kubernetes.client.ApiException: Unauthorized
        at io.kubernetes.client.ApiClient.handleResponse(ApiClient.java:882)
        at io.kubernetes.client.ApiClient.execute(ApiClient.java:798)
        at io.kubernetes.client.apis.BatchV1Api.createNamespacedJobWithHttpInfo(BatchV1Api.java:164)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

I tried this with a custom user and the default admin user with the same result. Both were able to create jobs using kubectl. The config is read correctly when i force parsing by using KubeConfig.loadDefaultKubeConfig().

This is how a build my client:

        ApiClient client = null;
        try {
            client = Config.defaultClient();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        Configuration.setDefaultApiClient(client);

        this.batchApiInstance = new BatchV1Api();

Cheers and thanks in advance

Can you print getResponseBody() from the APIException that gets thrown, and copy the contents into this issue?

The error body should have more details about what is going wrong.

Thanks!

[OberstHorst]

Here is the Response body:

{"kind":"Status","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{},"status":"Failure","message":"Unauthorized","reason":"Unauthorized","code":401}

Cheers

@OberstHorst Thanks, sadly there's no real information in there after all...

I will try to reproduce this on my local machine and debug from there.

[OberstHorst]

@brendandburns I forgot to mention that i am using v1.0.0beta1 from the maven repository. I was able to dig a bit deeper. If you need some debug output, just let me know. I am currently stepping a bit through the call structure, maybe i find something. Cheers and happy new year.

I was able to identify the problem: The BatchV1API class only adds BearerToken authentications to the HTTP header for authentication. I fixed it by replacing String[] localVarAuthNames = new String[] { "BearerToken" }; with String[] localVarAuthNames = new String[] { "BasicAuth" };. This is of course not a real fix but only a workaround for me. Maybe this Array should be generated based on what has been found in the config file?

[brendandburns]

Thanks for digging into this.

Ultimatley, I think this is because the kubernetes openapi spec doesn't define an authMethods section, and thus the auth we get is the defaults. It's a little weird because basic is present in ApiClient.java but not any of the other generated classes. Not really sure why...

@mbohlool should we have a security section in our open api spec?

[mbohlool]

At the time that OpenAPI spec generator developed, there were not enough information to add a security section. We can revisit that.

I have the same problem :

• I created a Role with permissions container.jobs.*
• associated that Role with a service account
• used that service-account token this way :

    Config.fromToken(
      "https://1.2.3.4",
      "...",
      false
    )

but creating a job returns 401 Unauthorized ... My cluster version is 1.11, kubernetes-client 3.0.0

However doing the same thing like this Config.fromConfig("/home/ubuntu/.kube/config") works ...
