kubectl sniff fails with certificate error.

[kristvanbesien]

I am running in to the following issue:

% kubectl sniff -p dns-default-2t74k -n openshift-dns
Error: Get "https://api.cluster.example.com:6443/api/v1/namespaces/openshift-dns/pods/dns-default-2t74k?timeout=30s": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

The certificate is signed by a CA with the root in my local keychain. Normal commands work:

% kubectl get pods -n openshift-dns
NAME                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
dns-default-2t74k     2/2     Running   0          15h
dns-default-5msgr     2/2     Running   0          15h
dns-default-llkdx     2/2     Running   0          15h
...

Maybe a difference in the way the plugin handles tls?

I am doing this from a Mac (M1) with MacOS 14.4

% kubectl version --short
Flag --short has been deprecated, and will be removed in the future. The --short output will become the default.
