Host name error while creating UserAuthConfig

[vedantthapa]

Hello, I'm trying to follow the docs for configuring ASM end-user authentication, however, encountering the error below while creating a UserAuthConfig (check the Status key):

  User Auth Service:  One or more auth methods in generation 1 have failed to start: Unable to connect to 'https://kubernetes.default.svc/api/v1/namespaces/asm-user-auth/secrets/oauth-secret', encountered the following error: Couldn't resolve host name. Details: Could not resolve host: kubernetes.default.svc.
Events:               <none>

Moreover authservice also doesn't redirect to the OIDC login page. I'm assuming that a consequence of the above error?

Could someone please help me troubleshoot this?
