"Cannot find the requested object" error when trying to connect to kubernetes cluster from Visual Studio 2019

[bab5470]

When trying to connect to our (Rancher) kubernetes cluster from Bridge for Kubernetes Visual Studio extension we are seeing the following error "Cannot find the requested object.":

Furthermore it seems the extension isn't enumerating the namespaces, services or application URL dropdowns.

I confirmed using kubectl that I can communicate with my cluster from the same workstation that I am running Bridge to Kubernetes on and I am using a connection where all ports are completely open. So I don't think this is a ports issue.

I am also using an account that I believe has the equivalent of cluster admin permissions so there shouldn't be a permissions problem either. I am attaching logs from the bridge for kubernetes:

Bridge To Kubernetes.zip

There are multiple logs and multiple errors in the logs which makes it difficult to pinpoint which are relevant but from what I can see a lot of them seem to be related to cryptography and perhaps the SSL certificate being used on the cluster.

The cluster is using an SSL certificate from our centralized certificate authority which my workstation trusts (the CA cert is in the local certificate store). Now I'm not sure if I have to do anything to make Visual Studio or Bridge to Kubernetes to trust it.

Perhaps that's not the root cause of the problem but can anyone offer me any suggestions on how to get this working or what to look at?

Thanks!
