I have installed Rancher 2 and created a kubernetes cluster of internal vm's ( no AWS / gcloud).

The cluster is up and running.

I logged into one of the nodes.

1) Installed Kubectl and executed kubectl cluster-info . It listed my cluster information correctly.

2) Installed helm

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get > get_helm.sh
chmod 700 get_helm.sh
./get_helm.sh

root@lnmymachine # helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.12.3", GitCommit:"eecf22f77df5f65c823aacd2dbd30ae6c65f186e", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.12.3", GitCommit:"eecf22f77df5f65c823aacd2dbd30ae6c65f186e", GitTreeState:"clean"}

3) Configured helm referencing Rancher Helm Init

kubectl -n kube-system create serviceaccount tiller

kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller \
  --clusterrole cluster-admin \
  --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller

helm init --service-account tiller

Tried installing Jenkins via helm

root@lnmymachine # helm ls
Error: Unauthorized
root@lnmymachine # helm install --name initial stable/jenkins
Error: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials

Browsed similar issues and few of them were due to multiple clusters. I have only one cluster. kubectl gives all information correctly.

Any idea whats happening.
