Comment 1 for bug 1712230

Just for tracking the info and discussion on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/491663/:-
I too checked, the issue is only with --tls-disabled.
With tls-disabled --apiserver-host argument need to be passed, me neither know about auto discover, attaching kubectl log for dashboard with apiserver-host and without apiserver-host:-

with apiserver-host and tls-disabled:-
