• type UserAuthenticator

Types

type UserAuthenticator

type UserAuthenticator interface {
	AuthenticateUser(ctx context.Context, username, password string) (*authenticator.Response, bool, error)
}

This interface is similar to the k8s token authenticator, but works with username/passwords instead of a single token string.

The return values should be as follows. 1. For a successful authentication:

• A response which includes the username, uid, and groups in the userInfo. The username and uid must not be blank.
• true
• nil error

2. For an unsuccessful authentication, e.g. bad username or password:

• nil response
• false
• nil error

3. For an unexpected error, e.g. a network problem:

• nil response
• false
• an error

Other combinations of return values must be avoided.

See k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/authentication/authenticator/interfaces.go for the token authenticator interface, as well as the Response type.
