Overview

The authentication layer identifies the user associated with requests to the OKD API. The authorization layer then uses information about the requesting user to determine if the request should be allowed.

As an administrator, you can configure authentication using a master configuration file.

Users and Groups

A user in OKD is an entity that can make requests to the OKD API. Typically, this represents the account of a developer or administrator that is interacting with OKD.

A user can be assigned to one or more groups, each of which represent a certain set of users. Groups are useful when managing authorization policies to grant permissions to multiple users at once, for example allowing access to objects within a project, versus granting them to users individually.

In addition to explicitly defined groups, there are also system groups, or virtual groups, that are automatically provisioned by OpenShift. These can be seen when viewing cluster bindings.

In the default set of virtual groups, note the following in particular:

Virtual Group	Description
system:authenticated	Automatically associated with all authenticated users.
system:authenticated:oauth	Automatically associated with all users authenticated with an OAuth access token.
system:unauthenticated	Automatically associated with all unauthenticated users.

Virtual Group

Description

system:authenticated

Automatically associated with all authenticated users.

system:authenticated:oauth

Automatically associated with all users authenticated with an OAuth access token.

system:unauthenticated

Automatically associated with all unauthenticated users.

API Authentication

Requests to the OKD API are authenticated using the following methods:

OAuth Access Tokens

Obtained from the OKD OAuth server using the <master>/oauth/authorize and <master>/oauth/token endpoints.
Sent as an Authorization: Bearer… header
Sent as an access_token=… query parameter for websocket requests prior to OKD server version 3.6.
Sent as a websocket subprotocol header in the form base64url.bearer.authorization.k8s.io.<base64url-encoded-token> for websocket requests in OKD server version 3.6 and later.

X.509 Client Certificates

Requires a HTTPS connection to the API server.
Verified by the API server against a trusted certificate authority bundle.
The API server creates and distributes certificates to controllers to authenticate themselves.

Any request with an invalid access token or an invalid certificate is rejected by the authentication layer with a 401 error.

If no access token or certificate is presented, the authentication layer assigns the system:anonymous virtual user and the system:unauthenticated virtual group to the request. This allows the authorization layer to determine which requests, if any, an anonymous user is allowed to make.

Impersonation

A request to the OKD API can include an Impersonate-User header, which indicates that the requester wants to have the request handled as though it came from the specified user. You impersonate a user by adding the --as=<user> flag to requests.

Before User A can impersonate User B, User A is authenticated. Then, an authorization check occurs to ensure that User A is allowed to impersonate the user named User B. If User A is requesting to impersonate a service account, system:serviceaccount:namespace:name, OKD confirms that User A can impersonate the serviceaccount named name in namespace. If the check fails, the request fails with a 403 (Forbidden) error code.

By default, project administrators and editors can impersonate service accounts in their namespace. The sudoers role allows a user to impersonate system:admin, which in turn has cluster administrator permissions. The ability to impersonate system:admin grants some protection against typos, but not security, for someone administering the cluster. For example, running oc delete nodes --all fails, but running oc delete nodes --all --as=system:admin succeeds. You can grant a user that permission by running this command:

$ oc create clusterrolebinding <any_valid_name> --clusterrole=sudoer --user=<username>

If you need to create a project request on behalf of a user, include the --as=<user> --as-group=<group1> --as-group=<group2> flags in your command. Because system:authenticated:oauth is the only bootstrap group that can create project requests, you must impersonate that group, as shown in the following example:

$ oc new-project <project> --as=<user> \
--as-group=system:authenticated --as-group=system:authenticated:oauth

OAuth

The OKD master includes a built-in OAuth server. Users obtain OAuth access tokens to authenticate themselves to the API.

When a person requests a new OAuth token, the OAuth server uses the configured identity provider to determine the identity of the person making the request.

It then determines what user that identity maps to, creates an access token for that user, and returns the token for use.

OAuth Clients

Every request for an OAuth token must specify the OAuth client that will receive and use the token. The following OAuth clients are automatically created when starting the OKD API:

OAuth Client Usage

OAuth Client	Usage
openshift-web-console	Requests tokens for the web console.
openshift-browser-client	Requests tokens at `<master>/oauth/token/request` with a user-agent that can handle interactive logins.
openshift-challenging-client	Requests tokens with a user-agent that can handle `WWW-Authenticate` challenges.

openshift-web-console

Requests tokens for the web console.

openshift-browser-client

Requests tokens at <master>/oauth/token/request with a user-agent that can handle interactive logins.

openshift-challenging-client

Requests tokens with a user-agent that can handle WWW-Authenticate challenges.

To register additional clients:

$ oc create -f <(echo '
kind: OAuthClient
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
 name: demo (1)
secret: "..." (2)
redirectURIs:
 - "http://www.example.com/" (3)
grantMethod: prompt (4)
')

1	The `name` of the OAuth client is used as the `client_id` parameter when making requests to `<master>/oauth/authorize` and `<master>/oauth/token`.
2	The `secret` is used as the `client_secret` parameter when making requests to `<master>/oauth/token`.
3	The `redirect_uri` parameter specified in requests to `<master>/oauth/authorize` and `<master>/oauth/token` must be equal to (or prefixed by) one of the URIs in `redirectURIs`.
4	The `grantMethod` is used to determine what action to take when this client requests tokens and has not yet been granted access by the user. Uses the same values seen in Grant Options.

Service Accounts as OAuth Clients

A service account can be used as a constrained form of OAuth client. Service accounts can only request a subset of scopes that allow access to some basic user information and role-based power inside of the service account’s own namespace:

user:info
user:check-access
role:<any_role>:<serviceaccount_namespace>
role:<any_role>:<serviceaccount_namespace>:!

When using a service account as an OAuth client:

client_id is system:serviceaccount:<serviceaccount_namespace>:<serviceaccount_name>.
client_secret can be any of the API tokens for that service account. For example:
```
$ oc sa get-token <serviceaccount_name>
```
To get WWW-Authenticate challenges, set an serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-want-challenges annotation on the service account to true.
redirect_uri must match an annotation on the service account. Redirect URIs for Service Accounts as OAuth Clients provides more information.

Redirect URIs for Service Accounts as OAuth Clients

Annotation keys must have the prefix serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi. or serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference. such as:

serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.<name>

In its simplest form, the annotation can be used to directly specify valid redirect URIs. For example:

"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.first":  "https://example.com"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.second": "https://other.com"

The first and second postfixes in the above example are used to separate the two valid redirect URIs.

In more complex configurations, static redirect URIs may not be enough. For example, perhaps you want all ingresses for a route to be considered valid. This is where dynamic redirect URIs via the serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference. prefix come into play.

For example:

"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.first": "{\"kind\":\"OAuthRedirectReference\",\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"reference\":{\"kind\":\"Route\",\"name\":\"jenkins\"}}"

Since the value for this annotation contains serialized JSON data, it is easier to see in an expanded format:

{
  "kind": "OAuthRedirectReference",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "reference": {
    "kind": "Route",
    "name": "jenkins"
  }
}

Now you can see that an OAuthRedirectReference allows us to reference the route named jenkins. Thus, all ingresses for that route will now be considered valid. The full specification for an OAuthRedirectReference is:

{
  "kind": "OAuthRedirectReference",
  "apiVersion": "v1",
  "reference": {
    "kind": ..., (1)
    "name": ..., (2)
    "group": ... (3)
  }
}

1	`kind` refers to the type of the object being referenced. Currently, only `route` is supported.
2	`name` refers to the name of the object. The object must be in the same namespace as the service account.
3	`group` refers to the group of the object. Leave this blank, as the group for a route is the empty string.

Both annotation prefixes can be combined to override the data provided by the reference object. For example:

"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.first":  "custompath"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.first": "{\"kind\":\"OAuthRedirectReference\",\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"reference\":{\"kind\":\"Route\",\"name\":\"jenkins\"}}"

The first postfix is used to tie the annotations together. Assuming that the jenkins route had an ingress of https://example.com, now https://example.com/custompath is considered valid, but https://example.com is not. The format for partially supplying override data is as follows:

Type	Syntax
Scheme	"https://"
Hostname	"//website.com"
Port	"//:8000"
Path	"examplepath"

Type

Syntax

Scheme

"https://"

Hostname

"//website.com"

Port

"//:8000"

Path

"examplepath"

Specifying a host name override will replace the host name data from the referenced object, which is not likely to be desired behavior.

Any combination of the above syntax can be combined using the following format:

<scheme:>//<hostname><:port>/<path>

The same object can be referenced more than once for more flexibility:

"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.first":  "custompath"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.first": "{\"kind\":\"OAuthRedirectReference\",\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"reference\":{\"kind\":\"Route\",\"name\":\"jenkins\"}}"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.second":  "//:8000"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.second": "{\"kind\":\"OAuthRedirectReference\",\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"reference\":{\"kind\":\"Route\",\"name\":\"jenkins\"}}"

Assuming that the route named jenkins has an ingress of https://example.com, then both https://example.com:8000 and https://example.com/custompath are considered valid.

Static and dynamic annotations can be used at the same time to achieve the desired behavior:

"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.first": "{\"kind\":\"OAuthRedirectReference\",\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"reference\":{\"kind\":\"Route\",\"name\":\"jenkins\"}}"
"serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.second": "https://other.com"

API Events for OAuth

In some cases the API server returns an unexpected condition error message that is difficult to debug without direct access to the API master log. The underlying reason for the error is purposely obscured in order to avoid providing an unauthenticated user with information about the server’s state.

A subset of these errors is related to service account OAuth configuration issues. These issues are captured in events that can be viewed by non-administrator users. When encountering an unexpected condition server error during OAuth, run oc get events to view these events under ServiceAccount.

The following example warns of a service account that is missing a proper OAuth redirect URI:

$ oc get events | grep ServiceAccount
1m         1m          1         proxy                    ServiceAccount                                  Warning   NoSAOAuthRedirectURIs   service-account-oauth-client-getter   system:serviceaccount:myproject:proxy has no redirectURIs; set serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.<some-value>=<redirect> or create a dynamic URI using serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.<some-value>=<reference>

Running oc describe sa/<service-account-name> reports any OAuth events associated with the given service account name.

$ oc describe sa/proxy | grep -A5 Events
Events:

Sample API Event Caused by a Possible Misconfiguration

The following steps represent one way a user could get into a broken state and how to debug or fix the issue:

Create a project utilizing a service account as an OAuth client.

Create YAML for a proxy service account object and ensure it uses the route proxy:

vi serviceaccount.yaml

Add the following sample code:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: proxy
  annotations:
    serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.primary: '{"kind":"OAuthRedirectReference","apiVersion":"v1","reference":{"kind":"Route","name":"proxy"}}'

Create YAML for a route object to create a secure connection to the proxy:

vi route.yaml

Add the following sample code:

apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1
kind: Route
metadata:
  name: proxy
spec:
  to:
    name: proxy
  tls:
    termination: Reencrypt
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: proxy
  annotations:
    service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name: proxy-tls
spec:
  ports:
  - name: proxy
    port: 443
    targetPort: 8443
  selector:
    app: proxy

Create a YAML for a deployment configuration to launch a proxy as a sidecar:

vi proxysidecar.yaml

Add the following sample code:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: proxy
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: proxy
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: proxy
    spec:
      serviceAccountName: proxy
      containers:
      - name: oauth-proxy
        image: openshift/oauth-proxy:v1.0.0
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8443
          name: public
        args:
        - --https-address=:8443
        - --provider=openshift
        - --openshift-service-account=proxy
        - --upstream=http://localhost:8080
        - --tls-cert=/etc/tls/private/tls.crt
        - --tls-key=/etc/tls/private/tls.key
        - --cookie-secret=SECRET
        volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: /etc/tls/private
          name: proxy-tls

      - name: app
        image: openshift/hello-openshift:latest
      volumes:
      - name: proxy-tls
        secret:
          secretName: proxy-tls

Create the objects

oc create -f serviceaccount.yaml
oc create -f route.yaml
oc create -f proxysidecar.yaml

Run oc edit sa/proxy to edit the service account and change the serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference annotation to point to a Route that does not exist.

apiVersion: v1
imagePullSecrets:
- name: proxy-dockercfg-08d5n
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
  annotations:
    serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.primary: '{"kind":"OAuthRedirectReference","apiVersion":"v1","reference":{"kind":"Route","name":"notexist"}}'
...

Review the OAuth log for the service to locate the server error:

The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Run oc get events to view the ServiceAccount event:

oc get events | grep ServiceAccount

23m        23m         1         proxy                    ServiceAccount                                  Warning   NoSAOAuthRedirectURIs   service-account-oauth-client-getter   [routes.route.openshift.io "notexist" not found, system:serviceaccount:myproject:proxy has no redirectURIs; set serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirecturi.<some-value>=<redirect> or create a dynamic URI using serviceaccounts.openshift.io/oauth-redirectreference.<some-value>=<reference>]

Integrations

All requests for OAuth tokens involve a request to <master>/oauth/authorize. Most authentication integrations place an authenticating proxy in front of this endpoint, or configure OKD to validate credentials against a backing identity provider. Requests to <master>/oauth/authorize can come from user-agents that cannot display interactive login pages, such as the CLI. Therefore, OKD supports authenticating using a WWW-Authenticate challenge in addition to interactive login flows.

If an authenticating proxy is placed in front of the <master>/oauth/authorize endpoint, it should send unauthenticated, non-browser user-agents WWW-Authenticate challenges, rather than displaying an interactive login page or redirecting to an interactive login flow.

To prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks against browser clients, Basic authentication challenges should only be sent if a X-CSRF-Token header is present on the request. Clients that expect to receive Basic WWW-Authenticate challenges should set this header to a non-empty value.

If the authenticating proxy cannot support WWW-Authenticate challenges, or if OKD is configured to use an identity provider that does not support WWW-Authenticate challenges, users can visit <master>/oauth/token/request using a browser to obtain an access token manually.

OAuth Server Metadata

Applications running in OKD may need to discover information about the built-in OAuth server. For example, they may need to discover what the address of the <master> server is without manual configuration. To aid in this, OKD implements the IETF OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata draft specification.

Thus, any application running inside the cluster can issue a GET request to https://openshift.default.svc/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server to fetch the following information:

{
  "issuer": "https://<master>", (1)
  "authorization_endpoint": "https://<master>/oauth/authorize", (2)
  "token_endpoint": "https://<master>/oauth/token", (3)
  "scopes_supported": [ (4)
    "user:full",
    "user:info",
    "user:check-access",
    "user:list-scoped-projects",
    "user:list-projects"
  ],
  "response_types_supported": [ (5)
    "code",
    "token"
  ],
  "grant_types_supported": [ (6)
    "authorization_code",
    "implicit"
  ],
  "code_challenge_methods_supported": [ (7)
    "plain",
    "S256"
  ]
}

1	The authorization server’s issuer identifier, which is a URL that uses the `https` scheme and has no query or fragment components. This is the location where `.well-known` RFC 5785 resources containing information about the authorization server are published.
2	URL of the authorization server’s authorization endpoint. See RFC 6749.
3	URL of the authorization server’s token endpoint. See RFC 6749.
4	JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749 scope values that this authorization server supports. Note that not all supported scope values are advertised.
5	JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 `response_type` values that this authorization server supports. The array values used are the same as those used with the `response_types` parameter defined by "OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Protocol" in RFC 7591.
6	JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 grant type values that this authorization server supports. The array values used are the same as those used with the `grant_types` parameter defined by OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Protocol in RFC 7591.
7	JSON array containing a list of PKCE RFC 7636 code challenge methods supported by this authorization server. Code challenge method values are used in the `code_challenge_method` parameter defined in Section 4.3 of RFC 7636. The valid code challenge method values are those registered in the IANA PKCE Code Challenge Methods registry. See IANA OAuth Parameters.

Obtaining OAuth Tokens

The OAuth server supports standard authorization code grant and the implicit grant OAuth authorization flows.

Run the following command to request an OAuth token by using the authorization code grant method:

$ curl -H "X-Remote-User: <username>" \
     --cacert /etc/origin/master/ca.crt \
     --cert /etc/origin/master/admin.crt \
     --key /etc/origin/master/admin.key \
     -I https://<master-address>/oauth/authorize?response_type=token\&client_id=openshift-challenging-client | grep -oP "access_token=\K[^&]*"

When requesting an OAuth token using the implicit grant flow (response_type=token) with a client_id configured to request WWW-Authenticate challenges (like openshift-challenging-client), these are the possible server responses from /oauth/authorize, and how they should be handled:

Status Content Client response

Status	Content	Client response
302	`Location` header containing an `access_token` parameter in the URL fragment (RFC 4.2.2)	Use the `access_token` value as the OAuth token
302	`Location` header containing an `error` query parameter (RFC 4.1.2.1)	Fail, optionally surfacing the `error` (and optional `error_description`) query values to the user
302	Other `Location` header	Follow the redirect, and process the result using these rules
401	`WWW-Authenticate` header present	Respond to challenge if type is recognized (e.g. `Basic`, `Negotiate`, etc), resubmit request, and process the result using these rules
401	`WWW-Authenticate` header missing	No challenge authentication is possible. Fail and show response body (which might contain links or details on alternate methods to obtain an OAuth token)
Other	Other	Fail, optionally surfacing response body to the user

302

Location header containing an access_token parameter in the URL fragment (RFC 4.2.2)

Use the access_token value as the OAuth token

302

Location header containing an error query parameter (RFC 4.1.2.1)

Fail, optionally surfacing the error (and optional error_description) query values to the user

302

Other Location header

Follow the redirect, and process the result using these rules

401

WWW-Authenticate header present

Respond to challenge if type is recognized (e.g. Basic, Negotiate, etc), resubmit request, and process the result using these rules

401

WWW-Authenticate header missing

No challenge authentication is possible. Fail and show response body (which might contain links or details on alternate methods to obtain an OAuth token)

Other

Fail, optionally surfacing response body to the user
