Auth Token

[riaanp78]

Not sure if I am doing it wrong, but there is no auth token generated with:

Create the service account in the current namespace (we assume default)

kubectl create serviceaccount skooner-sa

Give that service account root on the cluster

kubectl create clusterrolebinding skooner-sa --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:skooner-sa

Find the secret that was created to hold the token for the SA

kubectl get secrets

Show the contents of the secret to extract the token

kubectl describe secret skooner-sa-token-xxxxx

I bet you run Kubernetes 1.22 or greater. Since then, the token secret is no longer created automatically.

https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/service-accounts-admin/#manual-secret-management-for-serviceaccounts

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/#manually-create-an-api-token-for-a-serviceaccount

The main docu needs to be updated.

kubectl create token skooner-sa will give you a quick start.
