Options

Authentication timeout

By default, you need to log in to your provider in the browser within 3 minutes. This prevents a process from remaining forever. You can change the timeout by the following flag:

- --authentication-timeout-sec=60

For now this timeout works only for the authorization code flow.

Extra scopes

You can set the extra scopes to request to the provider by --oidc-extra-scope.

- --oidc-extra-scope=email
- --oidc-extra-scope=profile

PKCE

Kubelogin automatically uses the PKCE if the provider supports it. It determines the code challenge method by the code_challenge_methods_supported claim of the OpenID Connect Discovery document.

If your provider does not return a valid code_challenge_methods_supported claim, you can enforce the code challenge method by --oidc-pkce-method.

- --oidc-pkce-method=S256

For the most providers, you don't need to set this option explicitly.

CA certificate

You can use your self-signed certificate for the provider.

- --certificate-authority=/home/user/.kube/keycloak-ca.pem
- --certificate-authority-data=LS0t...

HTTP proxy

You can set the following environment variables if you are behind a proxy: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY. See also net/http#ProxyFromEnvironment.

Token cache

Kubelogin stores the token cache to the file system by default.

You can store the token cache to the OS keyring for enhanced security. It depends on zalando/go-keyring.

- --token-cache-storage=keyring

You can delete the token cache by the clean command.

% kubectl oidc-login clean
Deleted the token cache at /home/user/.kube/cache/oidc-login
Deleted the token cache from the keyring

Home directory expansion

If a value in the following options begins with a tilde character ~, it is expanded to the home directory.

  • --certificate-authority
  • --local-server-cert
  • --local-server-key
  • --token-cache-dir

Authentication flows

Kubelogin support the following flows:

Authorization code flow

Kubelogin performs the authorization code flow by default.

It starts the local server at port 8000 or 18000 by default. You need to register the following redirect URIs to the provider:

  • http://localhost:8000
  • http://localhost:18000 (used if port 8000 is already in use)

You can change the listening address.

- --listen-address=127.0.0.1:12345
- --listen-address=127.0.0.1:23456

You can specify a certificate for the local webserver if HTTPS is required by your identity provider.

- --local-server-cert=localhost.crt
- --local-server-key=localhost.key

You can change the hostname of redirect URI from the default value localhost.

- --oidc-redirect-url-hostname=127.0.0.1

You can add extra parameters to the authentication request.

- --oidc-auth-request-extra-params=ttl=86400

When authentication completed, kubelogin shows a message to close the browser. You can change the URL to show after authentication.

- --open-url-after-authentication=https://example.com/success.html

If you encounter a problem with the browser, you can change the browser command or skip opening the browser.

# Change the browser command
- --browser-command=google-chrome
# Do not open the browser
- --skip-open-browser

Authorization code flow with a keyboard

If you cannot access the browser, instead use the authorization code flow with a keyboard.

- --grant-type=authcode-keyboard

Kubelogin will show the URL and prompt. Open the URL in the browser and then copy the code shown.

% kubectl get pods
Open https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?access_type=offline&client_id=...
Enter code: YOUR_CODE

The default of redirect URI is urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. You can overwrite it.

- oidc-redirect-url-authcode-keyboard=http://localhost

You can add extra parameters to the authentication request.

- --oidc-auth-request-extra-params=ttl=86400

Device authorization grant

Kubelogin performs the device authorization grant when --grant-type=device-code is set.

- --grant-type=device-code

It automatically opens the browser. If the provider returns the verification_uri_complete parameter, you don't need to enter the code. Otherwise, you need to enter the code shown.

If you encounter a problem with the browser, you can change the browser command or skip opening the browser.

# Change the browser command
- --browser-command=google-chrome
# Do not open the browser
- --skip-open-browser

Resource owner password credentials grant

Kubelogin performs the resource owner password credentials grant when --grant-type=password or --username is set.

Note that most OIDC providers do not support this grant. Keycloak supports this grant but you need to explicitly enable the "Direct Access Grants" feature in the client settings.

You can set the username and password.

- --username=USERNAME
- --password=PASSWORD

If the password is not set, kubelogin will show the prompt for the password.

- --username=USERNAME
% kubectl get pods
Password:

If the username is not set, kubelogin will show the prompt for the username and password.

- --grant-type=password
% kubectl get pods
Username: foo
Password:

Run in Docker

You can run the Docker image instead of the binary. The kubeconfig looks like:

users:
  - name: oidc
    user:
      exec:
        apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1
        command: docker
        args:
          - run
          - --rm
          - -v
          - /tmp/.token-cache:/.token-cache
          - -p
          - 8000:8000
          - ghcr.io/int128/kubelogin
          - get-token
          - --token-cache-dir=/.token-cache
          - --listen-address=0.0.0.0:8000
          - --oidc-issuer-url=ISSUER_URL
          - --oidc-client-id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
          - --oidc-client-secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Known limitations:

  • It cannot open the browser automatically.
  • The container port and listen port must be equal for consistency of the redirect URI.
