Invalid GetPackageRepositorySummaries response from the plugin helm.packages: rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Authorization required to get the AppRepository 'all' due to 'Unauthorized'

We're trying to upgrade to kubeapps 2.6.3 (latest release) and I've encountered a strange bug when trying to load the Catalog.

Seemingly due to an Unauthorized GRPC response, the dashboard redirects back to / and I end up right where I started (i.e. main dashboard page viewing applications).

  1. Load kubeapps
  2. Click Catalog
  3. Redirected back to dashboard

Is there some new configuration now that we need to do to permit our users to view package repositories?

We have 2 AppRepository configured in this cluster (BTW what is the difference to the "PackageRepository" concept?):

For more context: we have an auth proxy that sits in front of kubeapps and our k8s apiserver. Here is our cluster configuration:

I noticed that the request is using context of cluster="" namespace="".

I hard-coded those values to cluster="default" namespace="kubeapps" (which is our existing apprepo/kubeapps namespace name) and these requests started working as expected.

Do you know why the frontend would be sending a gRPC request with that context cluster="" namespace=""?

Upon hardcoding I can view the catalog as expected, but cannot actually deploy a chart:

@absoludity could you take a look at this issue to properly triage it? Thanks!

We have 2 AppRepository configured in this cluster (BTW what is the difference to the "PackageRepository" concept?):

It's just terminology: we were adding support for other types of repositories (Carvel, Flux) and needed common terminology in the code, so followed the precedent that was used in other VMware packaging projects.

I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but do have one question: in your clusters config, why are you setting the apiServiceURL, assuming that this is the cluster on which Kubeapps is installed itself (so it should, by default, be using the default cluster internal address and cert which are on the pod, which is what happens if you don't specify it).

I'll keep trying to repro...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying that.

We do this kind of hybrid approach (where we are as you point out really using the default cluster, but point to a different hostname via apiServiceURL) because we want to use our API gateway to authenticate/authorize all kubeapps requests to the k8s apiserver. So, in our kubeapps helm chart, we've added an Ingress (and a Service and Endpoint but I'll spare those details) so that requests from the kubeapps dashboard to the kubeapps backend(s) pass through our gateway and have our auth proxy headers X-Consumer-Username and X-Consumer-Permissions set.

I'll keep trying to repro...

Thanks @absoludity appreciate the efforts very much 🙏

Let me know if I can share anything else!

Right, thanks for the explanation. So yes, I expect this is what's causing the difference in behavior. If you look at:

const supportedCluster = cluster === kubeappsCluster;
useEffect(() => {
if (
!namespace ||
!supportedCluster ||
[helmGlobalNamespace, carvelGlobalNamespace].includes(namespace)
) {
// All Namespaces. Global namespace or other cluster, show global repos only
dispatch(actions.repos.fetchRepoSummaries(""));
return () => {};
}

the code is deciding there: if the current cluster is not the kubeappsCluster, it'll send the request without the namespace. Furthermore, if an empty namespace is passed to fetchRepoSummaries, it will send the kubeappsCluster as the cluster, (which in your case is currently determined to be unset by Kubeapps):

const repos = await PackageRepositoriesService.getPackageRepositorySummaries({
cluster: namespace ? currentCluster : kubeappsCluster,
namespace: namespace,
});

So why is Kubeapps unable to determine the cluster on which Kubeapps is installed here when there is only one cluster defined in your config? Because it's actually possible to install Kubeapps on one cluster (say, a management cluster) while configuring the clusters so that users can only install to a different target cluster... and that is what Kubeapps has determined here.

Which means the fix should be trivial: you should be able to simply add the isKubeappsCluster to explicitly let Kubeapps know that this cluster is the one on which Kubeapps is installed:

## - isKubeappsCluster is an optional parameter that allows defining the cluster in which Kubeapps is installed;
## this param is useful when every cluster is using an apiServiceURL (e.g., when using the Pinniped Impersonation Proxy)
## as the chart cannot infer the cluster on which Kubeapps is installed in that case.

Try setting that to true for your cluster and reload in your browser window and you should find that the request is sent with the correct context. Let me know if not.

I just tried it quickly and it seems like due to setting isKubeappsCluster: true I can't get past the loading page...

OK, which brings me to another question: what rules is your auth-proxy applying? I'm not sure, but suspect the gRPC-web request from the dashboard is not arriving at the kubeapps-apis service with the creds? (I was wondering about this in the earlier setup). I'll try to take a look tomorrow to see why any gRPC-web auth header could be stripped out, but it's not clear without knowing your auth-proxy.

Or another possible (and better) way to find out: try setting up without your auth-proxy while still having an APIServiceURL set (maybe using the internal address). This will enable us to isolate whether it is a bug or an issue with the auth-proxy.

So it looks like CheckNamespaceExists is sent from the dashboard at domain apps.coreweave.test in my example, then passes through our API gateway, is then proxied to kubeappsapis, which makes a call to the k8s API.

The behavior at our gateway (HAProxy) looks correct: it's getting the sessionid cookie out of the request header and successfully authenticating that request (which in our case means adding proxy headers X-Consumer-Username and X-Consumer-Permissions).

For kubeappsapis -> k8s request to succeed, the kubeappsapis backend would need to include those proxied request headers, like is done w/ the namespace filtering feature if you recall that one.

I think this is the issue but am not 100%...

It reads the sessionid key-value out of the request cookie, and adds 2 proxy headers as I described above. My suspicion is that the request is arriving w/ the credentials but those headers aren't then included from kubeapps-apis services -> k8s...

Yep, that would not only make sense, but be very probably - as we don't have any e2e test for your special auth. So prior to our new API, the dashboard was making those requests directly to the k8s API (and in your case, via your proxy) so k8s would see it.

OK, let me put a PR together and you can try the image. Thanks for the details - much easier now :)

Something like #6012 . Haven't tested it in real life yet though.

### Description of the change

<!-- Describe the scope of your change - i.e. what the change does. -->
After some testing of the previous PR, we found the issue is actually
that kubeapps assumes the cluster on which Kubeapps is installed will
never have an APIServiceURL set in the configuration (since it can be
accessed via the in-cluster configuration at
https://kubernetes.default).

As it turns out, some users need to set the APIServiceURL of the cluster
on which Kubeapps is installed because they use a proxy in front of the
API server for authentication purposes, so it's important that Kubeapps
also use this.
