The OIDC auth method can be used to authenticate with Consul using OpenID
|
|
Connect (OIDC). This method allows authentication via a configured OIDC
|
|
provider using the user's web browser. This method may be initiated from the
|
|
Consul UI or the command line.

# OIDC Auth Method
|
|
|
|
<EnterpriseAlert />
|
|
|
|
This feature is available in [Consul
|
|
Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/products/consul/) version 1.8.0 and
|
|
newer.
|
|
|
|
The `oidc` auth method can be used to authenticate with Consul using
|
|
[OIDC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID_Connect). This method allows
|
|
authentication via a configured OIDC provider using the user's web browser.
|
|
This method may be initiated from the Consul UI or the command line.
|
|
|
|
This page assumes general knowledge of [OIDC
|
|
concepts](https://developer.okta.com/blog/2017/07/25/oidc-primer-part-1) and
|
|
the concepts described in the main [auth method
|
|
documentation](/docs/acl/auth-methods).
|
|
|
|
Both the [`jwt`](/docs/acl/auth-methods/jwt) and the
|
|
[`oidc`](/docs/acl/auth-methods/oidc) auth method types allow additional
|
|
processing of the claims data in the JWT.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Config Parameters
|
|
|
|
The following auth method [`Config`](/api/acl/auth-methods#config)
|
|
parameters are required to properly configure an auth method of type
|
|
`oidc`:
|
|
|
|
- `OIDCDiscoveryURL` `(string: <required>)` - The OIDC Discovery URL, without any
|
|
.well-known component (base path).
|
|
|
|
- `OIDCDiscoveryCACert` `(string: "")` - PEM encoded CA cert for use by the TLS
|
|
client used to talk with the OIDC Discovery URL. NOTE: Every line must end
|
|
with a newline (`\n`). If not set, system certificates are used.
|
|
|
|
- `OIDCClientID` `(string: <required>)` - The OAuth Client ID configured with
|
|
your OIDC provider.
|
|
|
|
- `OIDCClientSecret` `(string: <required>)` - The OAuth Client Secret configured with
|
|
your OIDC provider.
|
|
|
|
- `AllowedRedirectURIs` `(array<string>)` - A list of allowed
|
|
values for `redirect_uri`. Must be non-empty.
|
|
|
|
- `ClaimMappings` `(map[string]string)` - Mappings of claims (key) that
|
|
[will be copied to a metadata field](#trusted-identity-attributes-via-claim-mappings)
|
|
(value). Use this if the claim you are capturing is singular (such as an attribute).
|
|
|
|
When mapped, the values can be any of a number, string, or boolean and will
|
|
all be stringified when returned.
|
|
|
|
- `ListClaimMappings` `(map[string]string)` - Mappings of claims (key)
|
|
[will be copied to a metadata field](#trusted-identity-attributes-via-claim-mappings)
|
|
(value). Use this if the claim you are capturing is list-like (such as groups).
|
|
|
|
When mapped, the values in each list can be any of a number, string, or
|
|
boolean and will all be stringified when returned.
|
|
|
|
- `OIDCScopes` `(array<string>)` - A list of OIDC scopes.
|
|
|
|
- `JWTSupportedAlgs` `(array<string>)` - JWTSupportedAlgs is a list of
|
|
supported signing algorithms. Defaults to `RS256`. ([Available
|
|
algorithms](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/vendor/github.com/coreos/go-oidc/jose.go#L7))
|
|
|
|
- `BoundAudiences` `(array<string>)` - List of `aud` claims that are valid for
|
|
login; any match is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
- `VerboseOIDCLogging` `(bool: false)` - Log received OIDC tokens and claims when
|
|
debug-level logging is active. Not recommended in production since sensitive
|
|
information may be present in OIDC responses.
|
|
|
|
### Sample Config
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...other fields...
|
|
"Config": {
|
|
"AllowedRedirectURIs": [
|
|
"http://localhost:8550/oidc/callback",
|
|
"http://localhost:8500/ui/oidc/callback"
|
|
],
|
|
"BoundAudiences": [
|
|
"V1RPi2MYptMV1RPi2MYptMV1RPi2MYpt"
|
|
],
|
|
"ClaimMappings": {
|
|
"http://example.com/first_name": "first_name",
|
|
"http://example.com/last_name": "last_name"
|
|
},
|
|
"ListClaimMappings": {
|
|
"http://consul.com/groups": "groups"
|
|
},
|
|
"OIDCClientID": "V1RPi2MYptMV1RPi2MYptMV1RPi2MYpt",
|
|
"OIDCClientSecret": "...(omitted)...",
|
|
"OIDCDiscoveryURL": "https://my-corp-app-name.auth0.com/"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## JWT Verification
|
|
|
|
JWT signatures will be verified against public keys from the issuer via OIDC
|
|
discovery. Keys will be fetched from the OIDC Discovery URL during
|
|
authentication and OIDC validation criteria (e.g. `iss`, `aud`, etc.) will be
|
|
applied.
|
|
|
|
## OIDC Authentication
|
|
|
|
Consul includes two built-in OIDC login flows: the Consul UI, and the CLI using
|
|
[`consul login`](/commands/login).
|
|
|
|
### Redirect URIs
|
|
|
|
An important part of OIDC auth method configuration is properly setting
|
|
redirect URIs. This must be done both in Consul and with the OIDC provider, and
|
|
these configurations must align. The redirect URIs are specified for an auth
|
|
method with the [`AllowedRedirectURIs`](#allowedredirecturis) parameter. There
|
|
are different redirect URIs to configure the Consul UI and CLI flows, so one or
|
|
both will need to be set up depending on the installation.
|
|
|
|
#### Consul UI
|
|
|
|
Logging in via the Consul UI requires a redirect URI of the form:
|
|
`http://localhost:8500/ui/oidc/callback` or
|
|
`https://{host:port}/ui/oidc/callback`
|
|
|
|
The "host:port" must be correct for the Consul agent serving the Consul UI.
|
|
|
|
#### CLI
|
|
|
|
If you plan to support authentication via `consul login -type=oidc -method=<name>`, a localhost redirect URI must be set (usually this is
|
|
`http://localhost:8550/oidc/callback`). Logins via the CLI may specify a
|
|
different host and/or listening port if needed, and a URI with this host/port
|
|
must match one of the configured redirected URIs. These same "localhost" URIs
|
|
must be added to the provider as well.
|
|
|
|
### OIDC Login
|
|
|
|
#### Consul UI
|
|
|
|
1. Click the "Log in" link at the top right of the menu bar.
|
|
2. Click one of the "Continue with..." buttons for your OIDC auth method of choice.
|
|
3. Complete the authentication with the configured provider.
|
|
|
|
#### CLI
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ consul login -method=oidc -type=oidc -token-sink-file=consul.token
|
|
|
|
Complete the login via your OIDC provider. Launching browser to:
|
|
|
|
https://myco.auth0.com/authorize?redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8550%2Foidc%2Fcallback&client_id=r3qXc2bix9eF...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The browser will open to the generated URL to complete the provider's login.
|
|
The URL may be entered manually if the browser cannot be automatically opened.
|
|
|
|
The callback listener may be customized with the following optional parameters.
|
|
These are typically not required to be set:
|
|
|
|
The callback listener defaults to listen on `localhost:8550`. If you want to
|
|
customize that use the optional flag
|
|
[`-oidc-callback-listen-addr=<host:port>`](/commands/login#oidc-callback-listen-addr).
|
|
|
|
## OIDC Configuration Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
The amount of configuration required for OIDC is relatively small, but it can
|
|
be tricky to debug why things aren't working. Some tips for setting up OIDC:
|
|
|
|
- Monitor the log output for the Consul servers. Important information about
|
|
OIDC validation failures will be emitted.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure Redirect URIs are correct in Consul and on the provider. They need to
|
|
match exactly. Check: http/https, 127.0.0.1/localhost, port numbers, whether
|
|
trailing slashes are present.
|
|
|
|
- [`BoundAudiences`](#boundaudiences) is optional and typically
|
|
not required. OIDC providers will use the `client_id` as the audience and
|
|
OIDC validation expects this.
|
|
|
|
- Check your provider for what scopes are required in order to receive all of
|
|
the information you need. The scopes "profile" and "groups" often need to be
|
|
requested, and can be added by setting
|
|
`[OIDCScopes](#oidcscopes)="profile,groups"` on the auth method.
|
|
|
|
- If you're seeing claim-related errors in logs, review the provider's docs
|
|
very carefully to see how they're naming and structuring their claims.
|
|
Depending on the provider, you may be able to construct a simple `curl`
|
|
[implicit grant](https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/05/24/what-is-the-oauth2-implicit-grant-type)
|
|
request to obtain a JWT that you can inspect. An example of how to decode the
|
|
JWT (in this case located in the `access_token` field of a JSON response):
|
|
|
|
cat jwt.json | jq -r .access_token | cut -d. -f2 | base64 -D
|
|
|
|
- The [`VerboseOIDCLogging`](#verboseoidclogging) option is available which
|
|
will log the received OIDC token if debug level logging is enabled. This can
|
|
be helpful when debugging provider setup and verifying that the received
|
|
claims are what you expect. Since claims data is logged verbatim and may
|
|
contain sensitive information, this option should not be used in production.
