unable to connect to my Public AKS clusters from Freelens but I access them using kubectl and k9s.

Hello Team,

I am unable to connect to my AKS clusters from freelens UI.
I have kubelogin installed and been using kubectl and k9s tools for accessing my AKS clusters from years.
I can see the list of clusters and their configs available. This is the first time I want to set up freelens for my work.Error while proxying

Error while proxying request: getting credentials: exec: executable kubelogin not found

It looks like you are trying to use a client-go credential plugin that is not installed.

To learn more about this feature, consult the documentation available at:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#client-go-credential-plugins

kubelogin is not installed which is required to connect to AAD enabled cluster.

To learn more, please go to https://aka.ms/aks/kubelogin

Or your ~/.kube/config is misconfigured. The application for authentication must be in the system PATH or have a full path instead of base name.

dex4er is right!
I did two things to get it working:

1. I added the windows system environment path statement to the path where kubelogin is located
2. I changed in ~/.kube/config the users comand for kubelogin into an absolute path

• old: command: kubelogin
• new: command: "C:\\Path_to_kubelogin\\kubelogin.exe" (note: double backslashes)
