couldn't get current server API group list: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials error: You must be logged in to the server


I created the eks cluster trying to connect it with local cli, for that, I installed the aws-cli and also provide the right 'aws configure' credentials. The user which I am using to connect with the aws have the EKS related policy. Still I am getting the following Error ...

error: You must be logged in to the server (the server has asked for the client to provide credentials)

Solution

  • Well in my case, the aws keys with which I created the cluster and with which I configured the kubectl were different. The two of them were different aws identities.

    To give another user permission to access the control pane follow this

    How do I resolve the error You must be logged in to the server Unauthorized when I connect to the Amazon EKS API server.

    This solved my problem
