kubectl proxy access method does not work any more

[swills]

What happened?

I followed this doc:

https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/docs/user/accessing-dashboard/README.md#kubectl-proxy

and am unable to login. I get:

{"ErrStatus":{"metadata":{},"status":"Failure","message":"MSG_LOGIN_UNAUTHORIZED_ERROR","reason":"Unauthorized","code":401}}

Other access method documented on that page works fine with same token.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to be able to login as I used to with older versions.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

I installed a completely vanilla install of the dashboard, no changes at all.

Anything else we need to know?

Used to work with older versions, now it does not.

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Kubernetes Dashboard version

7.10.1

Kubernetes version

Dev environment

No response

look here https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/tree/master/docs/user/access-control#authorization-header
it seems that the proxy version should not work any more as it doesnt pass your Auth header inside to the dashboard services.. use should use the port-forward method instead
