The first time you access the cluster using a proxy address from a browser you will be prompted
for a username and password which can also be found in the `User` and `Password` fields of the `kubernetes_auth`
file.
## Redirect
A `redirect` request on a service will return a HTTP redirect response which identifies a specific node that
can handle the request. Since the hostname that is returned is usually only accessible from inside the cluster
this feature is useful only for code running inside the cluster. Subsequent `redirect` calls to the same
resource may return different results e.g. when the service picks different replica nodes to serve the request.
This feature can be useful to short circuit calls to the proxy server by obtaining the address of a node on the
cluster which can be used for further requests which do not involve the proxy server.
For example, the query below is run on
a GCE virtual machine `oban` that is running in the same project and GCE default network as the Kubernetes
cluster. The `-L` flag tells curl to follow the redirect information returned by the redirect call.
```
satnam@oban:~$ curl -L -k -u admin:4mty0Vl9nNFfwLJz https://104.197.5.247/api/v1beta1/redirect/services/elasticsearch-logging/
{
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Skin",
"cluster_name" : "kubernetes_logging",
"version" : {
"number" : "1.4.4",
"build_hash" : "c88f77ffc81301dfa9dfd81ca2232f09588bd512",
"build_timestamp" : "2015-02-19T13:05:36Z",
"build_snapshot" : false,
"lucene_version" : "4.10.3"
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
```
We can examine the actual redirect header:
```

This shows that the request to `https://104.197.5.247/api/v1beta1/redirect/services/elasticsearch-logging/` is redirected to `http://10.244.2.7:9200`.
If we examine the pods on the cluster we can see that `http://10.244.2.7` is the address of a pod that is running the Elasticsearch service.
