About Pinniped CLI

The Pinniped CLI is the command-line interface for Pinniped, a Kubernetes authentication service that enables users to authenticate to Kubernetes clusters using external identity providers. Pinniped provides a unified authentication experience across multiple clusters, supporting both OIDC (OpenID Connect) and LDAP/Active Directory authentication.

The Pinniped CLI provides:

• OIDC Authentication: Authenticate to Kubernetes clusters using OpenID Connect providers like Okta, Google, Azure AD, and others
• LDAP/AD Support: Connect to clusters using enterprise LDAP or Active Directory credentials
• Kubeconfig Generation: Automatically generate and update kubeconfig files with valid credentials
• Multi-Cluster Support: Manage authentication across multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single CLI
• Token Management: Handle credential refresh and token lifecycle automatically

This CLI tool is used by end users to authenticate to Kubernetes clusters that have been configured with Pinniped. It works seamlessly with kubectl and other Kubernetes tools by managing the authentication flow and credential storage in your kubeconfig file.
