So I'm migrating some Spring Boot microservices from Kubernetes to OpenShift. Below is the simplified situation:
Service 1: Spring Boot application that handles, exposes 2 endpoints (login and authenticate). The authenticate service accepts the Authorization header containing a JWT token and validates that token. It returns 400 if the token doesn't exist and 403 is the user isn't authorized or the token is invalid and 200 if everything is valid.
Service 2: Spring Boot for some business service, exposes many endpoints and contains the annotation below in the Kubernetes Ingress so that all traffic is routed to the Service 1 for authentication before actually reaching Service 2
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: "http://service1/authenticate?url=$request_uri&method=$request_method"
The problem is that when I migrated to OpenShift, all applications are working fine but the annotation that should route traffic to Service 1 doesn't seem to be working, since the authenticate service is never called.
I have searched the OpenShift documentation for days with no success, so any help would be much appreciated.
Probably this could help https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.5/serverless/networking/serverless-ossm-jwt.html, Openshift ServiceMesh include Istio. Here is how to configure Istio JWT https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/security/authorization/authz-jwt/. So there you could configure the Service 1 authenticate.

I am trying to use Keycloak as Identity Access Management. Creating client & authenticating user is quite okay between Spring Boot and Keycloak. What I am trying to do is authentication and authorization between Spring Boot microservices. The scenario is as follow.
There are two microservices: service A and service B.
Service A has one non-authenticated api route (api 1) which needs to communicate with authenticated api (api 2) on service B.
Api 2 would like to know which services are requesting and have certain access.
I have tried using service account and search online but no luck with Keycloak. :(
Please help me. Thanks
I want to use Keycloak in a microservices based environment, where authentication is based on OpenID endpoints REST calls ("/token", no redirection to keycloak login page), a flow that I thought of would be something like this:
1. Front-end SPA retrieves the tokens from the "/token" endpoint and stores in browser's localStorage, then sends it with every request.
2. Gateway-level authentication: Acess Token is passed from the front end to the gateway, gateway consults Keycloak server to check if the token is still valid (not invalidated by a logout end-point call).
3. Micro-service based authorization: Acess Token is passed from the Gateway to the microservices, using Spring Boot adapter the microservices check the signature of the token offline (bearer-only client?) then based on the role in the token do the authorization.
My questions are: Does this flow make sense or can you suggest another flow? What type of Keycloak clients to use? What's an ideal way to pass Tokens using Spring Boot Adapter, and should it be done like that in the first place? Please keep in mind that I am not a Keycloak expert, I've done my research but I still have doubts.
Your Front-end SPA should be public-client and springboot micro service should be Bearer only Client and Gateway could be Confidential Client.
You can check the Keycloak provided oidc adapters. For springboot you use the keycloak provided adapter
Similar solution using api gateway is discussed here
I have a springboot application with 4 microservices, eureka server and a centralised API gateway. I have performed authentication using jwt token at api gateway and now i want to implement role based security on methods which are present in microservices other than gateway. I have tried to use #PreAuthorize but its not working out of the gateway. Is there any solution to achieve this type of security ?
Is it possible to use spring cloud oauth 2 server with kubernetes api gateway ingress.
I have used it with zuul to authenticate user before making a call. Can I do similar with ingress?
Edit 1:
To explain it more clearly, what I am trying to achieve
I am using token based oAuth2 implementation given by the spring cloud.
oauth is running as one of the service behind the zuul.
zuul has routes mapped for the oauth server and resource server
client call the auth server via zuul and gets the token.
client call resource server via zuul with token passed
zuul is configured to validate the token before making a call to resource server.
In this way we can stop any downstream traffic to go without a valid token.
can we do token validation in ingress with auth server running with in a cluster?
I have not used Spring Cloud OAuth 2 but as OAuth is a standard I believe you can set it up if you are using Nginx Ingress as the ingress controller, you can specify and external Oauth Provider (As OAuth generally has the same flow) like this on your ingress:
...
metadata:
name: application
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: "https://$host/oauth2/auth"
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: "https://$host/oauth2/start?rd=$escaped_request_uri"
...
You can find more information here with an example of using GitHub as an OAuth provider
There are currently three different nginx-ingress-controllers (see here), which differ in functionality. I believe that none of these ingress controllers themselves can perform an oauth token introspection. However, requests can be routed to the authorization server's introspection interface using the auth_request module.
Specifically for your case, you can use the auth-url annotation (see) in the ingress controller to direct the requests to the introspection interface of the spring cloud oauth2 server (see). The introspection interface is available under /oaut/check_token by default when #EnableAuthorizationServer is used. If the introspection interface returns a 2XX, the ingress will forward the request. This functionality is based on the auth_request module, which expects a 2xx response code from the external service if the access is allowed and 401 or 403 if denied.
If you use JWTs and want to validate the request by only checking the signature, this can in some cases actually be done by the ingress itself. To my knowledge, only the nginx plus ingress controller (paid) can validate JWTs. But there is also the nginx-based kong-ingress controller, which you can equip with pulgins (see here). There is e.g. promoted with oauth2 integration and JWT validation.
Did you find out more than me?
Hi everyone i am not able to proceed with following settings. your small pointers are appreciated.
problem statement
i am trying to use custom authorization server provided by spring cloud security and OAuth2 with my web application so that it can propagate access token to micro services in back end.
i can able to see my authorization server can able to provide access token and when try to ingest access token for invoking endpoints for for back end micro service it work as per expectation
problem faced
when i provide following configuration in spring boot web client(which will call my back end micro service)
in application.properties
security.oauth2.client.clientId=myclient
security.oauth2.client.clientSecret=abcsecret
security.oauth2.client.access-token-uri=http://localhost:9000/services/oauth/token
security.oauth2.client.user-authorization-uri=http://localhost:9000/services/oauth/authorize
security.oauth2.client.clientAuthenticationScheme=form
security.oauth2.resource.user-info-uri=http://localhost:9000/services/user
security.oauth2.resource.prefer-token-info=true
and i provide
http://localhost:8080
in my browser. it asks for credentials. i provide credentials as present with authorization server.
once valid credentials provided authorization server asks for valid scopes.
but one important thing i observe when my web client routed to authorization server it has redirect_uri
http://localhost:8080/login
(not ok since initially i entered http://localhost:8080)
i am also getting HTTP 401 error
