Azure – executable kubelogin failed with exit code 1

I’m using an Kubernetes server with API version (1.25.2) . When I try to do a kubectl command getting the below error

TRONBQQ2:~$ kubectl get nodes
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
error: unknown flag: --environment
Unable to connect to the server: getting credentials: exec: executable kubelogin failed with exit code 1

From the same terminal I’m able to access the Kubernetes server with version 1.23.12.

Is this due to an old kubectl clieint version?.

TRONBQQ2:~$ kubectl version --client
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"19", GitVersion:"v1.19.4", GitCommit:"d360454c9bcd1634cf4cc52d1867af5491dc9c5f", GitTreeState:"clean", 
BuildDate:"2020-11-11T13:17:17Z", GoVersion:"go1.15.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
TRONBQQ2:~$ sudo apt-get install -y kubectl

kubectl is already the newest version (1.19.4-00).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 313 not upgraded.

I even tried to upgrade the kubectl . Even after upgrade, version remains in v1.19.4. Not sure this is the reason for the above mentioned error

    Try to check whether the the following command is printing the below options.

    >>>kubelogin -h

Login to azure active directory and populate kubeconfig with AAD tokens

Usage:
  kubelogin [flags]
  kubelogin [command]

Available Commands:
    completion         Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
   convert-kubeconfig convert kubeconfig to use exec auth module
   get-token          get AAD token
  help               Help about any command
  remove-tokens      Remove all cached tokens from filesystem

 Flags:
     -h, --help          help for kubelogin
     --logtostderr   log to standard error instead of files (default true)
 -v, --v Level       number for the log level verbosity
  --version       version for kubelogin

    It seems I was having a different kubelogin and missed the above specified Command Options. So I installed the new version of kubelogin using

     az aks install-cli

    If that doesn't work, then you can refer "enter image description here" to get the kubelogin brew package

    Also export the below path

    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

    Once the kubelogin is available , run the below command to convert your KUBECONFIG

    kubelogin convert-kubeconfig ./kube/config

  2. 0

    I tried to reproduce the same issue in my environment and got the below results

    I did the following issue to resolve the issue

    This issue will occur due to the version, we have to upgrade the latest version

    I have set the subscription id to AKS cluster using below command

    az account set --subscription "subscription_id"
az aks get-credentials --resource-group <rg-name> --name <cluster-name> --admin

    enter image description here

    My current AKS version is 1.23.12

    enter image description here

    My Kubectl version is

    kubectl version --client

    enter image description here

    This error will occur based on the kube/config file and the config file should be exist

    cd ~/.kube/.
vi config

    I have the config file configured we won’t get any error

    Below is my config file

    apiVersion: v1
    clusters:
    - cluster:
        certificate-authority-data: XXXXXXXXX
        server: https:cluster123.hcp.azmk8s.io.443
      name: cluster123
    contexts:
    - context:
        cluster: cluster123
        user: clusterUser_Alldemorg_cluster123
      name: komali-test
    current-context: cluster123
    kind: Config
    preferences: {}
        client-certificate: XXXXXX
        client-key-Data: XXXXXXX

    I have followed the below commands to access the kubectl commands

    kubelogin convert-kubeconfig -l azurecli
