Kubernetes Discovery - Authentication using certificate

Nik Amy

Hi Folks,

In order to discover Kubernetes components, in docs the prerequisites mentions to create "Kubernetes credentials" and for advanced authentication, use a bearer token.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/orlando-it-operations-management/page/product/service-mapping/concept/kubernetes-discovery.html

Today our client is using only certificates and not using token or credentials.

Is there a way to discovery K8s components using the certificate.

Kubernetes discovery supports following authentication method:

  • Username and password
  • Bearer token 

I don't servicenow support authentication using certificates.

@nic  i do not think as GA docs CERT based Authentication is supported for K8 Discovery.

Still you can ask on HI portal and confirm.

@NA currently ServiceNow has no changes on discovering Kubernetes except Bearer Token. Certificate based Kubernetes discovery is not yet implemented by ServiceNow.
