# Fetch DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster kubeconfig for T4K UI Authentication

The DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster provides two ways to download the kubeconfig of the cluster using `doctl` CLI.

After authenticating to the DogitalOcean Kubernetes service using Access Token with `doctl`, user can either run `show` or `save` command to get the kubeconfig of the desired cluster. The `save` command will set the context in the existing kubeconfig file at `/root/.kube/config` which contains `exec` section and `show` command will print the output which user has to save and then copy to `/root/.kube/config`

Here are the commands:

`$ doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig show <k8s cluster ID>`

`$ doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save <k8s cluster ID>`

For example:

`$ doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save 85e2ea36-29f0-4a9e-8d62-230c88a6fb39`

T4K UI authentication does not support the kubeconfig which contain the `exec` section. User is encouraged to use the `show` option and save the kubeconfig in a different file using redirect operator `>` to use it for authentication on T4K UI.

Here is an example:

`$ doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save 85e2ea36-29f0-4a9e-8d62-230c88a6fb39 > /root/tvk_ui_kubeconfig`

This will create a new file `/root/tvk_ui_kubeconfig` which won't have `exec` section and can be used for T4K UI authentication.
