from the Rancher dashboard, when i download the kubeconfig file, am I supposed to see 2 clusters listed? one for the rancher proxy, and one for the downstream cluster. i thought i had seen it before, but i’m only getting the rancher proxy. any idea how i get the kubeconfig file for the downstream cluster so that i can access it directly?

fwiw. i installed this cluster using rancher cli tool.

not rke, and not using the dashboard.

The authorized cluster endpoint is enabled bf default for Rancher launched Kubernetes clusters - is it an RKE, RKE2 or K3s cluster?

For those types of clusters in which Rancher launched Kubernetes, the authorized cluster endpoint is available as a configuration option. for other types of clusters, that endpoint is not available

hi @tall-school-18125, thx. yes, i just realized if i installed via the dashboard there’s an option to enable “Authorized Cluster Endpoint” (which is selected by default). i think previously i was using this approach at deploying my clusters. but switching to the cli, it doesn’t seem to have an option to enable that.

i’m deploying RKE2, i believe

rancher v.2.6.6

cli version 2.6.5

actually, i have idea if i’m running RKE or RKE2. i thought i had seen RKE2 somewhere

That's odd. I would have expected ACE to be enabled even if you provision the cluster with the CLI. The workaround would be to provision the cluster through the UI. Support for ACE was added for RKE2 and K3s as of Rancher 2.6.3 - so it's supposed to work

oic

how do i tell if i installed with RKE or RKE2?

i just deployed a bunch of clusters using the CLI. so now i’m wondering if i can enable ACE on existing clusters 😨

i can’t seem to find any info in the docs.. and not intuitive where to do this in the gui

ahh thx. yes, i’m running RKE

I believe ACE can only be enabled when a cluster is created for the first time, so you would have to re-create the cluster
