kubelogin

This is a client-go credential (exec) plugin implementing azure authentication. This plugin provides features that are not available in kubectl. It is supported on kubectl v1.11+

Features

convert-kubeconfig command to converts kubeconfig with existing azure auth provider format to exec credential plugin format
device code login
non-interactive service principal login
non-interactive user principal login using Resource owner login flow
non-interactive managed service identity login
non-interactive Azure CLI token login (AKS only)
AAD token will be cached locally for renewal in device code login and user principal login (ropc) flow. By default, it is saved in ~/.kube/cache/kubelogin/
addresses kubernetes/kubernetes#86410 to remove spn: prefix in audience claim, if necessary. (based on kubeconfig or commandline argument --legacy)

Getting Started

Setup

Copy the latest Releases to shell's search path.

Setup (homebrew)

# install
brew install Azure/kubelogin/kubelogin

# upgrade
brew update
brew upgrade Azure/kubelogin/kubelogin

Run

Device code flow (interactive)

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig

kubectl get no

If you are using kubeconfig from AKS AADv1 clusters, convert-kubeconfig command will automatically add --legacy flag so that audience claim will have spn: prefix.

Service principal login flow (non interactive)

On AKS, it will only work with managed AAD. Service principal can be member of maximum 250 AAD groups.

Create a service principal or use an existing one.

az ad sp create-for-rbac --skip-assignment --name myAKSAutomationServicePrincipal

The output is similar to the following example.

{
  "appId": "<spn client id>",
  "displayName": "myAKSAutomationServicePrincipal",
  "name": "http://myAKSAutomationServicePrincipal",
  "password": "<spn secret>",
  "tenant": "<aad tenant id>"
}

Query your service principal AAD Object ID by using the command below.

az ad sp show --id <spn client id> --query "objectId"

To configure the role binding on Azure Kubernetes Service, the user in rolebinding should be the AAD Object ID.

For example,

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: sp-role-binding
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
subjects:
  - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
    kind: User
    name: <service-principal-object-id>

Use Kubelogin to convert your kubeconfig

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l spn

export AAD_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_ID=<spn client id>
export AAD_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_CLIENT_SECRET=<spn secret>

kubectl get no

User Principal login flow (non interactive)

Note: ROPC is not supported in hybrid identity federation scenarios (for example, Azure AD and ADFS used to authenticate on-premises accounts). If users are full-page redirected to an on-premises identity providers, Azure AD is not able to test the username and password against that identity provider. Pass-through authentication is supported with ROPC, however. It also does not work when MFA policy is enabled Personal accounts that are invited to an Azure AD tenant can't use ROPC

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l ropc

export [email protected]
export AAD_USER_PRINCIPAL_PASSWORD=<password>

kubectl get no

Managed Service Identity (non interactive)

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l msi

kubectl get no

To configure the role binding on Azure Kubernetes Service, the user in rolebinding should be the MSI's AAD Object ID.

For example,

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: msi-role-binding
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
subjects:
  - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
    kind: User
    name: <service-principal-object-id>

Managed Service Identity with specific identity (non interactive)

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l msi --client-id msi-client-id

kubectl get no

Azure CLI token login (non interactive)

export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig

kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli

kubectl get no

Uses an access token from Azure CLI to log in. The token will be issued against whatever tenant was logged in at the time kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli was run. This login option only works with managed AAD in AKS.

Clean up

Whenever you want to remove cached tokens

kubelogin remove-tokens

Azure Environment

kubelogin supports Azure Environments:

AzurePublicCloud (default value)
AzureChinaCloud
AzureUSGovernmentCloud
AzureStackCloud

You can specify --environment for kubelogin convert-kubeconfig.

When using AzureStackCloud you will need to specify the actual endpoints in a config file, and set the environment variable AZURE_ENVIRONMENT_FILEPATH to that file.

The configuration parameters of this file:

{
  "name": "AzureStackCloud",
  "managementPortalURL": "...",
  "publishSettingsURL": "...",
  "serviceManagementEndpoint": "...",
  "resourceManagerEndpoint": "...",
  "activeDirectoryEndpoint": "...",
  "galleryEndpoint": "...",
  "keyVaultEndpoint": "...",
  "graphEndpoint": "...",
  "serviceBusEndpoint": "...",
  "batchManagementEndpoint": "...",
  "storageEndpointSuffix": "...",
  "sqlDatabaseDNSSuffix": "...",
  "trafficManagerDNSSuffix": "...",
  "keyVaultDNSSuffix": "...",
  "serviceBusEndpointSuffix": "...",
  "serviceManagementVMDNSSuffix": "...",
  "resourceManagerVMDNSSuffix": "...",
  "containerRegistryDNSSuffix": "...",
  "cosmosDBDNSSuffix": "...",
  "tokenAudience": "...",
  "resourceIdentifiers": {
    "graph": "...",
    "keyVault": "...",
    "datalake": "...",
    "batch": "...",
    "operationalInsights": "..."
  }
}

The full configuration is available in the source code at https://github.com/Azure/go-autorest/blob/master/autorest/azure/environments.go.

Exec Plugin Format

Below is what a kubeconfig with exec plugin would look like. By default, the audience claim will not have spn: prefix. If it's desired to keep the prefix, add --legacy to the args.

Note: The AAD server app ID of AKS Managed AAD is always 6dae42f8-4368-4678-94ff-3960e28e3630 in any environments.

cluster info including cluster CA and FQDN are omitted in below examples
