12.2. Using JSON Web Token authentication with Service Mesh and OpenShift Serverless

Procedure

1. Copy the following Policy resource into a YAML file:

   重要

   The paths /metrics and /healthz must be included in excludedPaths because they are accessed from system pods in the knative-serving namespace.

   apiVersion: authentication.istio.io/v1alpha1
   kind: Policy
   metadata:
     name: default
   spec:
     origins:
     - jwt:
         issuer: testing@secure.istio.io
         jwksUri: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.6/security/tools/jwt/samples/jwks.json"
         triggerRules:
         - excludedPaths:
           - prefix: /metrics
           - prefix: /healthz
     principalBinding: USE_ORIGIN

2. Verify the request with a valid JWT.

   1. Get the valid JWT token by entering the following command:

      $ TOKEN=$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.6/security/tools/jwt/samples/demo.jwt -s) && echo "$TOKEN" | cut -d '.' -f2 - | base64 --decode -

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   2. Access the service by using the valid token in the curl request header:

      $ curl http://hello-example-default.apps.mycluster.example.com/ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      The request is now allowed.

      Example output

      Hello OpenShift!
