About

This tool will grab the relevant tokens and certificate data for a PKS cluster and configure the user to login to it.

Basic Quickstart

To run directly, simply execute the binary with the required and optional flags:

kubectl-pkstoken -api=api.pks.fullerton.cf-app.com -cluster=ldap.pks.exaforge.com -user=euler -ns=default -kubeconfig=myconfig

• -api: the hostname of the PKS API
• -cluster: name of the k8s cluster
• -user: OIDC username
• -ns: which namespace should be configured
• -kubeconfig (optional): write to a specific file rather than default kubeconfig

To run as a kubectl plugin (linux/mac only):

cp kubectl-pkstoken /usr/local/bin

(or anywhere in your $PATH)

then run

kubectl pkstoken

Dont forget to add a Role and Binding for the user like this:

kind: Role
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  namespace: default
  name: ns-admin
rules:
  - apiGroups: ["*"]
    resources: ["*"]
    verbs: ["*"]
---
