💼 3.1.1 Client certificate authentication should not be used for users (Not Scored)

  • ID: /frameworks/cis-gke-v1.0.0/03/01/01

Description​

Kubernetes provides the option to use client certificates for user authentication. However, as there is no way to revoke these certificates when a user leaves an organization or loses their credential, they are not suitable for this purpose. It is not possible to fully disable client certificate use within a cluster as it is used for component to component authentication.
