# OpenID Connect Authentication
Minikube `kube-apiserver` can be configured to support OpenID Connect Authentication.
Read more about OpenID Connect Authentication for Kubernetes here: <https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#openid-connect-tokens>
## Configuring the API Server
Configuration values can be passed to the API server using the `--extra-config` flag on the `minikube start` command. See [configuring_kubernetes.md](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/blob/master/docs/configuring_kubernetes.md) for more details.
The following example configures your Minikube cluster to support RBAC and OIDC:
```shell
minikube start \
--extra-config=apiserver.authorization-mode=RBAC \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-issuer-url=https://example.com \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-username-claim=email \
--extra-config=apiserver.oidc-client-id=kubernetes-local
```
## Configuring kubectl
You can use the kubectl `oidc` authenticator to create a kubeconfig as shown in the Kubernetes docs: <https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#option-1-oidc-authenticator>
`minikube start` already creates a kubeconfig that includes a `cluster`, in order to use it with your `oidc` authenticator kubeconfig, you can run:
```shell
kubectl config set-context kubernetes-local-oidc --cluster=minikube --user username@example.com
Context "kubernetes-local-oidc" created.
kubectl config use-context kubernetes-local-oidc
```
For the new context to work you will need to create, at the very minimum, a `Role` and a `RoleBinding` in your cluster to grant permissions to the `subjects` included in your `oidc-username-claim`.
