Chapter 76. KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema reference

Used in: KafkaBridgeSpec, KafkaConnectSpec, KafkaMirrorMaker2ClusterSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerConsumerSpec, KafkaMirrorMakerProducerSpec

Full list of KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema properties

To configure OAuth client authentication, set the type property to oauth.

OAuth authentication can be configured using one of the following options:

  • Client ID and secret
  • Client ID and refresh token
  • Access token
  • Username and password
  • TLS

Client ID and secret

You can configure the address of your authorization server in the tokenEndpointUri property together with the client ID and client secret used in authentication. The OAuth client will connect to the OAuth server, authenticate using the client ID and secret and get an access token which it will use to authenticate with the Kafka broker. In the clientSecret property, specify a link to a Secret containing the client secret.

An example of OAuth client authentication using client ID and client secret

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  clientSecret:
    secretName: my-client-oauth-secret
    key: client-secret

Optionally, scope and audience can be specified if needed.

Client ID and refresh token

You can configure the address of your OAuth server in the tokenEndpointUri property together with the OAuth client ID and refresh token. The OAuth client will connect to the OAuth server, authenticate using the client ID and refresh token and get an access token which it will use to authenticate with the Kafka broker. In the refreshToken property, specify a link to a Secret containing the refresh token.

An example of OAuth client authentication using client ID and refresh token

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Access token

You can configure the access token used for authentication with the Kafka broker directly. In this case, you do not specify the tokenEndpointUri. In the accessToken property, specify a link to a Secret containing the access token.

An example of OAuth client authentication using only an access token

authentication:
  type: oauth
  accessToken:
    secretName: my-access-token-secret
    key: access-token

Username and password

OAuth username and password configuration uses the OAuth Resource Owner Password Grant mechanism. The mechanism is deprecated, and is only supported to enable integration in environments where client credentials (ID and secret) cannot be used. You might need to use user accounts if your access management system does not support another approach or user accounts are required for authentication.

A typical approach is to create a special user account in your authorization server that represents your client application. You then give the account a long randomly generated password and a very limited set of permissions. For example, the account can only connect to your Kafka cluster, but is not allowed to use any other services or login to the user interface.

Consider using a refresh token mechanism first.

You can configure the address of your authorization server in the tokenEndpointUri property together with the client ID, username and the password used in authentication. The OAuth client will connect to the OAuth server, authenticate using the username, the password, the client ID, and optionally even the client secret to obtain an access token which it will use to authenticate with the Kafka broker.

In the passwordSecret property, specify a link to a Secret containing the password.

Normally, you also have to configure a clientId using a public OAuth client. If you are using a confidential OAuth client, you also have to configure a clientSecret.

An example of OAuth client authentication using username and a password with a public client

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  username: my-username
  passwordSecret:
    secretName: my-password-secret-name
    password: my-password-field-name
  clientId: my-public-client-id

An example of OAuth client authentication using a username and a password with a confidential client

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  username: my-username
  passwordSecret:
    secretName: my-password-secret-name
    password: my-password-field-name
  clientId: my-confidential-client-id
  clientSecret:
    secretName: my-confidential-client-oauth-secret
    key: client-secret
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Optionally, scope and audience can be specified if needed.

TLS

Accessing the OAuth server using the HTTPS protocol does not require any additional configuration as long as the TLS certificates used by it are signed by a trusted certification authority and its hostname is listed in the certificate.

If your OAuth server is using certificates which are self-signed or are signed by a certification authority which is not trusted, you can configure a list of trusted certificates in the custom resource. The tlsTrustedCertificates property contains a list of secrets with key names under which the certificates are stored. The certificates must be stored in X509 format.

An example of TLS certificates provided

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token
  tlsTrustedCertificates:
    - secretName: oauth-server-ca
      certificate: tls.crt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The OAuth client will by default verify that the hostname of your OAuth server matches either the certificate subject or one of the alternative DNS names. If it is not required, you can disable the hostname verification.

An example of disabled TLS hostname verification

authentication:
  type: oauth
  tokenEndpointUri: https://sso.myproject.svc:8443/auth/realms/internal/protocol/openid-connect/token
  clientId: my-client-id
  refreshToken:
    secretName: my-refresh-token-secret
    key: refresh-token
  disableTlsHostnameVerification: true

76.1. KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth schema properties
Copier lien

The type property is a discriminator that distinguishes use of the KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth type from KafkaClientAuthenticationTls, KafkaClientAuthenticationScramSha256, KafkaClientAuthenticationScramSha512, KafkaClientAuthenticationPlain. It must have the value oauth for the type KafkaClientAuthenticationOAuth.

PropertyDescription

accessToken

Link to OpenShift Secret containing the access token which was obtained from the authorization server.

GenericSecretSource

accessTokenIsJwt

Configure whether access token should be treated as JWT. This should be set to false if the authorization server returns opaque tokens. Defaults to true.

boolean

audience

OAuth audience to use when authenticating against the authorization server. Some authorization servers require the audience to be explicitly set. The possible values depend on how the authorization server is configured. By default, audience is not specified when performing the token endpoint request.

string
