• Clone the tutorial repo git clone <repourl> ~/dex-demo
• Run go get -v github.com/dexidp/dex and cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/dexidp/dex/ and make.
• Minikube 0.33.1 or 1.0.0 installed on your workstation or machine that you are using for this demo
• Create a new OAuth app setting in github https://github.com/organizations/[YOURORG]/settings/applications and save the client id and the client secret for later use.

It should look like this:

• Run ./gencert.sh to create the certificates for dex (it will create the necessary certs for the demo)

• Make the certificate file available inside the minikube vm

mkdir -p ~/.minikube/files/var/lib/minikube/certs/ && \
 cp -a ./ssl/* ~/.minikube/files/var/lib/minikube/certs/

• Create the minikube cluster.

minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox --memory=4096 \
--network-plugin=cni \
--enable-default-cni \
--extra-config=apiserver.authorization-mode=RBAC \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-issuer-url=https://dex.example.com:32000 \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-username-claim=email \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-ca-file=/var/lib/minikube/certs/ca.pem \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-client-id=example-app \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-groups-claim=groups

The option --extra-config=apiserver.apiserver.oidc-client-id=example-app will match the default value (example-app) of the example app that comes with dex.

• Add dex.example.com to /etc/hosts: sudo -v && echo $(minikube ip) dex.example.com | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
• Add the TLS certs to kubernetes ./create-dex-tls.sh
• Add the github clientid and clientsecret create-github-credentials.sh <clientid> <clientsecret>
• Edit the file /etc/hosts of the minikube host by using minikube ssh -- "echo '127.0.2.1 dex.example.com' | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts".
• Install and configure Dex kubectl apply -f dex.yaml
• Verify dex is running by doing kubectl logs deploy/dex -f
• Create cluster role binding for your user kubectl create clusterrolebinding github-feniix --clusterrole=cluster-admin [email protected]

• cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos/dex/

• ./bin/example-app --issuer=https://dex.example.com:32000 --issuer-root-ca=/Users/otaegui/dex-demo/ssl/ca.pem

• Hit https://127.0.0.1:5555 in your web browser

• Click on login

• Click on Grant

• Copy the ID Token somewhere (that is your token for access)

• Open ~/.kube/config and search for - name: minikube
• Delete the entries for client-certificate and client-key from the config
• Run kubectl --token=<Token copied earlier> get pods
