Athenz client sidecar

Athenz client sidecar

What is Athenz client sidecar

Athenz client sidecar is an implementation of Kubernetes sidecar container to provide a common interface to retrieve authentication and authorization credential from Athenz server.

Get Athenz N-token from client sidecar

Sidecar architecture (get N-token)

Whenever user wants to get the N-token, user does not need to focus on extra logic to generate token, user can access client sidecar container instead of implementing the logic themselves, to avoid the extra logic implemented by user. For instance, the client sidecar container caches the token and periodically generates the token automatically. For user this logic is transparent, but it improves the overall performance as it does not generate the token every time whenever the user asks for it.

Get Athenz Access Token from client sidecar

Sidecar architecture (get Access token)

User can get the access token from the client sidecar container. Whenever user requests for the access token, the sidecar process will get the access token from Athenz if it is not in the cache, and cache it in memory. The background thread will update corresponding access token periodically.

Get Athenz Role Token from client sidecar

Sidecar architecture (get Role token)

User can get the role token from the client sidecar container. Whenever user requests for the role token, the sidecar process will get the role token from Athenz if it is not in the cache, and cache it in memory. The background thread will update corresponding role token periodically.

Proxy HTTP request (add corresponding Athenz authorization token)

Sidecar architecture (proxy request)

User can also use the reverse proxy endpoint to proxy the request to another server that supports Athenz token validation. The proxy endpoint will append the necessary authorization (N-token or role token) HTTP header to the request and proxy the request to the destination server. User does not need to care about the token generation logic where this sidecar container will handle it, also it supports similar caching mechanism with the N-token usage.

Use Case

GET /ntoken
- Get service token from Athenz
POST /accesstoken
- Get access token from Athenz
POST /roletoken
- Get role token from Athenz
GET /svccert
- Get service certificate from Athenz
/proxy/ntoken
- Append service token to the request header, and send the request to proxy destination
/proxy/roletoken
- Append role token to the request header, and send the request to proxy destination

Developer Guide

After injecting client sidecar to user application, user application can access the client sidecar to get authorization and authentication credential from Athenz server. The client sidecar can only access by the user application injected, other application cannot access to the client sidecar. User can access client sidecar by using HTTP request.

We only provided golang example, but user can implement a client using any other language and connect to sidecar container using HTTP request.

Deployment Procedure

Inject client sidecar to your K8s deployment file.

Deploy to K8s.

kubectl apply -f injected_deployments.yaml

Verify if the application running

# list all the pods
kubectl get pods -n <namespace>
# if you are not sure which namespace your application deployed, use `--all-namespaces` option
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

# describe the pod to show detail information
kubectl describe pods <pod_name>

# check application logs
kubectl logs <pod_name> -c <container_name>
# e.g. to show client sidecar logs
kubectl logs nginx-deployment-6cc8764f9c-5c6hm -c athenz-client-sidecar
