Use cases for kubectl authentication - Configuring OIDC auth settings using Single Sign-On

Available in VPC

This is an example of adding Ncloud Single Sign-On Tenant as an issuer in OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication setting and using kubectl through portal login.

Set oidc-login plugin

1. Perform oidc-login setup with the Issuer URL, ClientID, and ClinetSecret generated in Ncloud Single Sign-On.
   • When the login screen appears in the browser, log in. If you are already logged in, the login screen will not be displayed.

     kubectl oidc-login setup \
     --oidc-issuer-url=https://sso.ncloud.com/tenants/f42162be-f574-477f-985b-c624579f2b08 \
     --oidc-client-id=bf24746a-1957-4d45-8ad6-da86029296b2 \
     --oidc-client-secret=22202039-c06d-4ad0-95d0-fb537378cc20
     

2. Check the contents of id_token.

   {
     "sub": "bcf8067c-da7e-4818-ae58-39add6bd7e6a",
     "aud": "bf24746a-1957-4d45-8ad6-da86029296b2",
     "id_no": "bcf8067c-da7e-4818-ae58-39add6bd7e6a",
     "user_type": "CUSTOMER",
     "azp": bf24746a-1957-4d45-8ad6-da86029296b2",
     "user_name": "nbp",
     "iss": "https:\/\/sso.ncloud.com\/tenants\/f42162be-f574-477f-985b-c624579f2b08",
     "mbr_no": "2551575",
     "exp": 1670295764,
     "iat": 1670293964,
     "nonce": "IZ32TJmuMGF1iisd8t7VGGSF2DkT5PY1FmVwpbT85Uw"
   }
   

3. In the IAM authentication state, add the cluster role for the oidc authentication user with kubeconfig.

• If you do not set up username prefix/claim in the Ncloud Kubernetes Service OIDC setting, iss#sub is set as the username by default.
• To change username, you can specify prefix/claim in OIDC setting No. 4.

  kubectl create clusterrolebinding oidc-cluster-admin --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user='https://sso.ncloud.com/tenants/f42162be-f574-477f-985b-c624579f2b08#bcf8067c-da7e-4818-ae58-39add6bd7e6a'
  

4. On the console, perform Ncloud Kubernetes Service OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication setting.
   • Issuer URL: https://sso.ncloud.com/tenants/f42162be-f574-477f-985b-c624579f2b08
   • Client ID: bf24746a-1957-4d45-8ad6-da86029296b2
5. Add oidc authentication to the kubeconfig file.

   kubectl config set-credentials oidc \
     --exec-api-version=client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1 \
     --exec-command=kubectl \
     --exec-arg=oidc-login \
     --exec-arg=get-token \
     --exec-arg=--oidc-issuer-url=https://sso.ncloud.com/tenants/f42162be-f574-477f-985b-c624579f2b08 \
     --exec-arg=--oidc-client-id=bf24746a-1957-4d45-8ad6-da86029296b2 \
     --exec-arg=--oidc-client-secret=22202039-c06d-4ad0-95d0-fb537378cc20
   

6. Use oidc authentication to execute the kubectl command.

   kubectl --user=oidc get nodes
   

7. Set the current kubeconfig context to use oidc authentication.

   kubectl config set-context --current --user=oidc
