I have been following here kubernetes github and to change basic to token based authentication. It says to change

--authentication-mode=basic
to

--authentication-mode=token

but my question is where to change? which file? which yml?

It would really great if you provide an example of yaml configuration file.

--authentication-mode flag is for kubernetes dashboard. Add/Change this flag in kubernetes dashboard deployment.

If you are using this to deploy kubernetes dashboard, then add/change flag in the deployment yaml.
