<p>I have implemented basic authentication on my kubernetes api-server, now I am trying to configure my <code>./kube/config</code> file in a way I could simply run, <code>kubectl get pods</code></p>

<pre><code> kubectl config set-cluster digitalocean \
                      --server=https://SERVER:6443 \
                      --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true \
                      --api-version="v1" 
 kubectl config set-context digitalocean --cluster=digitalocean --user=admin
 kubectl config set-credentials admin --password="PASSWORD" 
 kubectl config use-context digitalocean
</code></pre>

<p>But now, it asks for credentials twice like :</p>

<pre><code>dev@desktop: ~/code/go/src/bitbucket.org/cescoferraro                                                                   
$ kubectl get pods                                                                                                      
Please enter Username: admin                                                                                             
enter Password: PASSWORD
Please enter Username: admin                                                                                            
Please enter Password: PASSWORD                                                                                      
NAME                                                READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE 
</code></pre>

<p>or I need to pass the flags like</p>

<pre><code>kubectl get pods --username=admin --password=PASSWORD
</code></pre>

<p>is this the default behavior? I want my config to know me. What can I do?</p>

<p>Can you provide the output of <code>kubectl config view</code>? I think the problem might be you need to do something like</p>

<p><code>kubectl config set-credentials cluster-admin --username=admin --password=PASSWORD</code></p>

<p>instead of </p>

<p><code>kubectl config set-credentials admin --password="PASSWORD"</code>. </p>
