failed to run Kubelet: cannot create certificate signing request: Unauthorized

[imedaouidene]

I have a K8s cluster running under an OpenStack cloud provider.

The cluster is set up using kubeadm tool which contains a master node and slave node .

I'm trying to add an other worker node by using the kubeadm join command, the command shows a positive response telling that the node is successfully added, But I can't find it using kubectl get nodes command.

I investigated and I've found that kubelet on the new slave node is not running showing cannot create certificate signing request: Unauthorized.

-- The start-up result is done.

command used to make the join :

• get the token : kubeadm token list | awk '/The default bootstrap token/ { print $1; }'

• get the hash : openssl x509 -pubkey -in /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der 2>/dev/null | openssl dgst -sha256 -hex | sed 's/^.* //'

• join command: kubeadm join --skip-preflight-checks --token {{token}} --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:{{hash}} master_ip:6443

I have same problem,now is ok.

token default life time is 24 hours, need create new token, then kubeadm join

Yeah, I guess your token just had expired at the point you tried to join. I'm closing this as solved.
If that wasn't the case, please reopen.
