I have followed many articles how to use authenticate AD users in Kubernetes dashboard using dex but the traefik ingress controller is blocking and throwing errors. can someone guide me or share clear steps:

i) use k3s dashboard to login with AD user based on existing groups in AD
ii) have configured dex but doesn't work

[brandond]

This doesn't really seem like a K3s issue. You might ask for assistance in the communities whose projects you're trying to install? ie the Dashboard and Dex projects?

[souvik05121991]

Thanks , but if you have any guide where this k3s dashboard can be logged in using AD credentials this is very much needed

[brandond]

There is no such thing as "K3s Dashboard". I assume you're talking about https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard but this is not part of K3s, and I don't know where you got the manifest that you're showing above or why it might not be working.
