`MCS` will authenticate against `Mkube`using bearer tokens via HTTP
`Authorization` header. The user will provide this token once
in the login form, MCS will validate it against Mkube (list tenants) and
if valid will generate and return a new MCS sessions
with encrypted claims (the user Service account token will be inside the
JWT in the data field)
Kubernetes
The provided `JWT token` corresponds to the `Kubernetes service account`
that `Mkube` will use to run tasks on behalf of the
user, ie: list, create, edit, delete tenants, storage class, etc.
Development
If you are running mcs in your local environment and wish to make
request to `Mkube` you can set `MCS_M3_HOSTNAME`, if
the environment variable is not present by default `MCS` will use
`"http://m3:8787"`, additionally you will need to set the
`MCS_MKUBE_ADMIN_ONLY=on` variable to make MCS display the Mkube UI
Extract the Service account token and use it with MCS
For local development you can use the jwt associated to the `m3-sa`
service account, you can get the token running
the following command in your terminal:
```
kubectl get secret $(kubectl get serviceaccount m3-sa -o
jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64
--decode
```
Then run the mcs server
```
MCS_M3_HOSTNAME=http://localhost:8787 MCS_MKUBE_ADMIN_ONLY=on ./mcs
server
```
Self-signed certificates and Custom certificate authority for Mkube
If Mkube uses TLS with a self-signed certificate, or a certificate
issued by a custom certificate authority you can add those
certificates usinng the `MCS_M3_SERVER_TLS_CA_CERTIFICATE` env variable
````
MCS_M3_SERVER_TLS_CA_CERTIFICATE=cert1.pem,cert2.pem,cert3.pem ./mcs
server
````
