Kubernetes master is running at https://localhost:6443.
Now when I try to login to https://localhost:6443 it doesn't ask for credentials and shows me 404 forbidden message . below is the entire trace -

{   "kind": "Status",   "apiVersion": "v1",   "metadata": {

You need a bearer token or a client certificate for accessing the kubernetes API.

Easiest option is to access it via kubectl proxy wherein kubectl will make use of kubeconfig to perform the authentication so you don't need to provide any certificate or token separately.

Execute the following command; which will make kubectl behave as reverse proxy:

$ kubectl proxy --port=8080 &

You can use any other available port, then access the kubernetes api server on that port.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/
