Vault OAuth2 Proxy

This module provides a deployment of the OAuth2 Proxy that requires authentication with the cluster's Vault instance.

Usage

Setup

This module is intended to be used in conjunction with the kube_ingress module. domain should be set to a domain used in kube_ingress and the upstream_ingress_annotations output should be passed to the extra_annotations input of kube_ingress.

Once this is configured, request to the kube_ingress endpoints will trigger a request to an oauth2-proxy deployment via the NGINX external authentication stanza. Clients will be required to authenticate with Vault before the main request is allowed to be forwarded to the upstream.

The authentication response is cached via a cookie so this sequence only occurs on the initial request, ensuring the whole process adds very little overhead.

Authorization

There are a few means to validate users. Each of these can be used simultaneously, and a user must meet all the constraints to be authorized.

  • allowed_email_domains: Email domains that are allowed (sourced from Authentik)
  • allowed_vault_roles: The user's role in the cluster's Vault instance (one of rbac-superusers, rbac-admins, rbac-readers, rbac-restricted-readers)
