Continuous Integration: Build Status Coverage Status

kong-oidc is a plugin for Kong implementing the OpenID Connect Relying Party (RP) functionality.

It authenticates users against an OpenID Connect Provider using OpenID Connect Discovery and the Basic Client Profile (i.e. the Authorization Code flow).

It maintains sessions for authenticated users by leveraging lua-resty-openidc thus offering a configurable choice between storing the session state in a client-side browser cookie or use in of the server-side storage mechanisms shared-memory|memcache|redis.

It supports server-wide caching of resolved Discovery documents and validated Access Tokens.

It can be used as a reverse proxy terminating OAuth/OpenID Connect in front of an origin server so that the origin server/services can be protected with the relevant standards without implementing those on the server itself.

Introspection functionality add capability for already authenticated users and/or applications that already posses acces token to go through kong. The actual token verification is then done by Resource Server.

How does it work

The diagram below shows the message exchange between the involved parties.

alt Kong OIDC flow

The X-Userinfo header contains the payload from the Userinfo Endpoint

X-Userinfo: {"preferred_username":"alice","id":"60f65308-3510-40ca-83f0-e9c0151cc680","sub":"60f65308-3510-40ca-83f0-e9c0151cc680"}

The plugin also sets the ngx.ctx.authenticated_consumer variable, which can be using in other Kong plugins:

ngx.ctx.authenticated_consumer = {
    id = "60f65308-3510-40ca-83f0-e9c0151cc680",   -- sub field from Userinfo
    username = "alice"                             -- preferred_username from Userinfo
}

kong-oidc depends on the following package:
