#Connecting to applications: kubectl proxy and apiserver proxy You have seen the [basics](../../docs/accessing-the-cluster.md) about `kubectl proxy` and `apiserver proxy`. This guide shows how to use them together to access a service([kube-ui](../../docs/ui.md)) running on the Kubernetes cluster from your workstation. ##Getting the apiserver proxy URL of kube-ui kube-ui is deployed as a cluster add-on. To find its apiserver proxy URL, ``` $ kubectl cluster-info | grep "KubeUI" KubeUI is running at https://173.255.119.104/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui ``` if this command does not find the URL, try the steps [here](../../docs/ui.md#accessing-the-ui). ##Connecting to the kube-ui service from your local workstation The above proxy URL is an access to the kube-ui service provided by the apiserver. To access it, you still need to authenticate to the apiserver. `kubectl proxy` can handle the authentication. ``` $ kubectl proxy --port=8001 Starting to serve on localhost:8001 ``` Now you can access the kube-ui service on your local workstation at [http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui](http://localhost:8001/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-ui) [![Analytics](https://kubernetes-site.appspot.com/UA-36037335-10/GitHub/docs/user-guide/connecting-to-applications-1.md?pixel)]() [![Analytics](https://kubernetes-site.appspot.com/UA-36037335-10/GitHub/docs/user-guide/connecting-to-applications-proxy.md?pixel)]()
