If you are using an [authorized cluster endpoint (ACE),](../../pages-for-subheaders/rancher-manager-architecture.md#4-authorized-cluster-endpoint) we recommend creating an FQDN pointing to a load balancer which balances traffic across your nodes with the `controlplane` role.
If you are using private CA signed certificates on the load balancer, you have to supply the CA certificate, which will be included in the generated kubeconfig file to validate the certificate chain. See the documentation on [kubeconfig files](../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/manage-clusters/access-clusters/use-kubectl-and-kubeconfig.md) and [API keys](../user-settings/api-keys.md#creating-an-api-key) for more information.

As of Rancher v2.6.3, ACE support is available for registered RKE2 and K3s clusters.

@@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ The authentication proxy forwards all Kubernetes API calls to downstream cluster
Rancher communicates with Kubernetes clusters using a [service account,](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/) which provides an identity for processes that run in a pod.
By default, Rancher generates a [kubeconfig file](../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/manage-clusters/access-clusters/use-kubectl-and-kubeconfig.md) that contains credentials for proxying through the Rancher server to connect to the Kubernetes API server on a downstream user cluster. The kubeconfig file (`kube_config_rancher-cluster.yml`) contains full access to the cluster.

With this endpoint enabled for the downstream cluster, Rancher generates an extra Kubernetes context in the kubeconfig file in order to connect directly to the cluster. This file has the credentials for `kubectl` and `helm`.
You will need to use a context defined in this kubeconfig file to access the cluster if Rancher goes down. Therefore, we recommend exporting the kubeconfig file so that if Rancher goes down, you can still use the credentials in the file to access your cluster.
