Having problem in authenticating kubernetes python client

Question

my lisNamespaces.py file

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import kubernetes.client
from kubernetes.client.rest import ApiException

configuratio         


        

Answer 1

Mistake i did was to pass data of ca.crt which i got from kubectl edit secret nameofsa-token-xyze -n default directly to configuration.ssl_ca_cert in the code.

Instead what should be done is to decode the data using base64 --decode, which i got from above command(kubectl edit secret nameofsa-token-xyze -n default), this is how i did it.

kubectl get secrets default-token-nqkdv -n default -o jsonpath='{.data.ca\.crt}' | base64 --decode > ca.crt.

Then i need to pass the path of ca.crt file in the code, so final code look like below

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import kubernetes.client
from kubernetes.client.rest import ApiException

configuration = kubernetes.client.Configuration()
configuration.ssl_ca_cert = 'ca.crt'
configuration.api_key['authorization'] = 'ZXXXXXXXXXXdw=='
configuration.api_key_prefix['authorization'] = 'Bearer'
configuration.host = 'https://aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.gr7.us-east-1.eks.amazonaws.com'

api_instance = kubernetes.client.CoreV1Api(kubernetes.client.ApiClient(configuration))
api_response = api_instance.list_namespace()
for i in api_response.items:
    print(i.metadata.name)
