TLSServerName is not taken into account

[nicolas-goudry]

Describe the bug

When using a kubeconfig which defines a tls-server-name field different from the server field, the client fails to validate the cluster certificate.

As a workaround, setting insecure-skip-tls-verify: true and removing certificate-authority-data from the kubeconfig file works.

Client Version

20

Kubernetes Version

1.28.6

Java Version

17

To Reproduce

Get a kubeconfig with a tls-server-name field different from the server field. This is the case with the kubeconfig files generated by Teleport. Run the KubeConfigFileClientExample.java:

cd examples/examples-release-20
mvn -X clean install exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="io.kubernetes.client.examples.KubeConfigFileClientExample"

Expected behavior

The client respects the tls-server-name field and uses this hostname to verify the TLS certificate.

KubeConfig

- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: REDACTED
    server: REDACTED
    tls-server-name: REDACTED

      - --teleport-cluster=REDACTED
      - --proxy=REDACTED
      command: tsh
      env: null

Yeah, that's not currently supported in our TLS. We'd be happy to take a PR to add support.

I’m not a Java developer, I reported this issue because some applications from my company use the Java client and some of our customers use Teleport so the said apps don’t work for them.

Our Java developer don’t have any bandwidth to take this matter into his hands, so I hope someone could work on this 🙏
