UI Authentication

This page provides an overview of how authentication works for the Trilio UI.

T4K supports authentication via:

KubeConfig AuthenticatonRBAC AuthenticationAuthentication Methods Via Dex

If Trilio has been installed at a namespace level, then a minimum of read access over the namespace is required to access the management console.

Some Kubernetes clusters may contain cloud-specific exec action or use auth-provider configuration to fetch the authentication token within the kubeconfig file. Since the binaries for the specific cloud service may not be available on the setup where the user is providing the config file, Trilio may not be able to fetch the token and populate it in the kubeconfig.

To support authentication for these cloud providers, perform the steps in the following sub-pages to create a kubeconfig file with a custom kubeconfig, consisting of a service account token and cluster data.
