LDAP based user authentication for Kubernetes

Question

There are some methods natively supported such as basic auth , X509 certificates and webhook tokens.

Is there some workaround/project to use LDAP for user authentication with Kubernetes. I need users to be grouped in LDAP , and then use role binding to bind the group to a specific namespace with a role.

Answer 1

Yes you can integrate with LDAP, for example:

• Using dex
• With Torchbox's kube-ldap-authn (hint: read this post)
• Vis keycloak

Also, there's a nice intro-level blog post to get you started.
