I am using the fabric8 library to create replication controllers on the kubernetes cluster. When I create areplication controller with the name rc-UUID.toString();
It errors aout with the following message
ReplicationController is forbidden. What does this indicate?
I don't think that the problem is the name. Names like: rc-fa75ddfd-bea7-45b5-8d2f-ed806652b461 are valid.
Usually the message forbidden appears in one of the following cases:
i) http status code 401 ii) https status code 404
Error (i) appears when you are connecting to a remote Kubernetes Environment and can be solved by login in. Try kubectl login or oc login.
Error (ii) appears when the client is instantiated from within Kubernetes and the service account hasn't been properly configured.
Either way, I'd strongly encourage you to upgrade to a more recent version of the cabernets client, which has more meaningful error messages.
If none of my suggestion solves your issue, please attach the full output.
Cheers
