Kiali: Service mesh observability and configuration

Kiali supports four authentication mechanisms:

anonymous: gives free access to Kiali.
openid: requires authentication through a third-party service to access Kiali.
openshift: requires authentication through the OpenShift authentication to access Kiali.
token: requires user to provide a Kubernetes ServiceAccount token to access Kiali.

The default authentication mechanism for OpenShift clusters is openshift. For all other Kubernetes clusters, the default mechanism is token.

Read the dedicated page of each authentication mechanism (by clicking on the bullets) to learn more. All mechanisms other than anonymous support Role-based access control.
