External authentication, authentication service response headers propagation
This example demonstrates propagation of selected authentication service response headers to backend service.
Sample configuration includes:
- Sample authentication service producing several response headers
- Authentication logic is based on HTTP header: requests with header
User
containing stringinternal
are considered authenticated - After successful authentication service generates response headers
UserID
andUserRole
- Authentication logic is based on HTTP header: requests with header
- Sample echo service displaying header information
- Two ingress objects pointing to echo service
- Public, which allows access from unauthenticated users
- Private, which allows access from authenticated users only
You can deploy the controller as follows:
$ kubectl create -f deploy/
deployment "demo-auth-service" created
service "demo-auth-service" created
ingress "demo-auth-service" created
deployment "default-http-backend" created
service "default-http-backend" created
deployment "demo-echo-service" created
service "demo-echo-service" created
ingress "public-demo-echo-service" created
ingress "secure-demo-echo-service" created
deployment "nginx-ingress-controller" created
$ kubectl get po
