Generate private key and CSR

openssl genrsa -out audit2.key 2048

openssl req -new -key audit2.key -out audit2.csr -subj '/CN=audit2/O=auditors'

CN becomes username; O can map to groups in some setups.

Base64 encode CSR for the API object

CSR=$(base64 -w0 audit2.csr)

Kubernetes CSR object expects base64-encoded request data.

Create the CSR object

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -

apiVersion: certificates.k8s.io/v1

kind: CertificateSigningRequest

metadata:

name: audit2-csr

spec:

request: ${CSR}

signerName: kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver-client

usages:

- client auth

EOF

Approve the CSR

oc adm certificate approve audit2-csr

Approval triggers certificate issuance.

Extract the signed certificate

oc get csr audit2-csr -o jsonpath='{.status.certificate}' | base64 -d > audit2.crt

Produces the client certificate file.

Build kubeconfig using cert/key

oc config set-credentials audit2 \

--client-certificate=audit2.crt --client-key=audit2.key \

--embed-certs=true --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig

oc config set-cluster lab \

--server='$(oc whoami --show-server)' \

--insecure-skip-tls-verify=true \

--kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig

oc config set-context audit2 \

--cluster=lab --user=audit2 --namespace=default \

--kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig

Creates a kubeconfig that authenticates using client certificates.

Test

oc --kubeconfig=audit2.kubeconfig get ns
