ArgoCD with Dex Configuration

• To Install argoCD. Update the version if required.

      kubectl apply -k argocd-install/

• If you are using public cloud update svc for argocd-server as load balancer"

  kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'

• Get Initial Secret :

  kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d; echo
  

• Login to ArgoCD server to upate password

  argocd login <ARGOCD_SERVER> # Just  the IP:PORT
  argocd account update-password

• Create new application in AzureAD OIDC follow following link for the same Quick Start : Register an application
• Call back URL in your AzureAD application would be :
  • https://<ArgoCD_Server_IP/URL>/api/dex/callback
• I worked with GKE so still needs to work with localhost. It should work for localhost too where the IP/URL is required.

• Following file needs to be updated:

  • microsoft-connector/argocd-extra.yaml

    • <Your Base64 Client Secret> : with your ClientSecret created in AzureAD for OIDC application
    • <Your Clinet/ApplicationID of Azure app> : Client/Application ID in AuzreAD OIDC Application.
    • <ArgoCD_Server_IP/URL> : If you port forward your application to localhost it should be localhost If you create a nodeport type service it should be localhost:nodeport If you create a loadbalancer it will be your loadbalancerIP

• Lets first apply the file with configmap and secret changes

  kubectl apply -f microsoft-connector/argocd-extra.yaml -n argo 
  

• Lets install argocd now

  kubectl apply -f microsoft-connector/argocd-install.yaml -n argo 
  

• Now port-forward your server to localhost or use the loadbalancer IP and you should see following screen:

• URL should be :

  • https://localhost OR https://<LoadBalancerIP>
  • Click on AZURETEST and it should authenticate your with AzureAD
