Kubernetes master username and password

Question

I've installed a kubernetes cluster (using Google's Container Engine) and I noticed a service listening on port 443 on the master server. Tried to access it but it requires username and password, so any ideas what these credentials are?

Answer 1

You can read the cluster config using kubectl. This will contain the username and password for the UI.

kubectl config view

Answer 2

As of April 29 use:

gcloud container clusters describe [clustername]

This will give you some YAML (see here) containing also the username and password.

Answer 3

The user/password are stored in the API.

If you do:

gcloud preview container --zone <zone> clusters list

You should be able to see the user name and password for your cluster.

Note that the HTTPS cert that it uses is currently signed by an internal CA (stored in your home directory) so for a web browser, you will need to manually accept the certificate. We're working on making this more clean.
