Cosmin Cojocar e12b58626c Add client auth plugin for Azure Active Directory
This plugin acquires a fresh access token for apiserver from Azure Active
Directory using the device code flow. The access token is saved in the
configuration in order to be reused for upcomming accesses to appiserver.
In additon the access token is automatically refreshed when expired.

# Azure Active Directory plugin for client authentication
This plugin provides an integration with Azure Active Directory device flow. If no tokens are present in the kubectl configuration, it will prompt a device code which can be used to login in a browser. After login it will automatically fetch the tokens and stored them in the kubectl configuration. In addition it will refresh and update the tokens in configuration when expired.
## Usage
1. Create an Azure Active Directory *Web App / API* application for `apiserver` following these [instructions](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-app-registration)
2. Create a second Azure Active Directory native application for `kubectl`
3. On `kubectl` application's configuration page in Azure portal grant permissions to `apiserver` application by clicking on *Required Permissions*, click the *Add* button and search for the apiserver application created in step 1. Select "Access apiserver" under the *DELEGATED PERMISSIONS*. Once added click the *Grant Permissions* button to apply the changes
4. Configure the `apiserver` to use the Azure Active Directory as an OIDC provider with following options
```
--oidc-client-id="spn:APISERVER_APPLICATION_ID" \
--oidc-issuer-url="https://sts.windows.net/TENANT_ID/"
--oidc-username-claim="sub"
```
* Replace the `APISERVER_APPLICATION_ID` with the application ID of `apiserver` application
* Replace `TENANT_ID` with your tenant ID.
5. Configure the `kubectl` to use the `azure` authentication provider
```
kubectl config set-credentials "USER_NAME" --auth-provider=azure \
--auth-provider-arg=environment=AzurePublicCloud \
--auth-provider-arg=client-id=APPLICATION_ID \
--auth-provider-arg=tenant-id=TENANT_ID \
--auth-provider-arg=apiserver-id=APISERVER_APPLICATION_ID
```
* Supported environments: `AzurePublicCloud`, `AzureUSGovernmentCloud`, `AzureChinaCloud`, `AzureGermanCloud`
* Replace `USER_NAME` and `TENANT_ID` with your user name and tenant ID
* Replace `APPLICATION_ID` with the application ID of your`kubectl` application ID
* Replace `APISERVER_APPLICATION_ID` with the application ID of your `apiserver` application ID
6. The access token is acquired when first `kubectl` command is executed
```
kubectl get pods
To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://aka.ms/devicelogin and enter the code DEC7D48GA to authenticate.
```
* After signing in a web browser, the token is stored in the configuration, and it will be reused when executing next commands.
