Raw Blame History

oauth2_proxy

(This project was renamed from Google Auth Proxy - May 2015)

A reverse proxy that provides authentication using Providers (Google, Github, and others) to validate accounts by email, domain or group.

Architecture

Installation

Download Prebuilt Binary (current release is v2.0.1) or build with $ go get github.com/bitly/oauth2_proxy which will put the binary in $GOROOT/bin
Select a Provider and Register an OAuth Application with a Provider
Configure OAuth2 Proxy using config file, command line options, or environment variables
Configure SSL or Deploy behind a SSL endpoint (example provided for Nginx)

OAuth Provider Configuration

You will need to register an OAuth application with a Provider (Google, Github or another provider), and configure it with Redirect URI(s) for the domain you intend to run oauth2_proxy on.

Valid providers are :

Google default
GitHub
LinkedIn
MyUSA

The provider can be selected using the provider configuration value.

Google Auth Provider

For Google, the registration steps are:

Create a new project: https://console.developers.google.com/project
Under "APIs & Auth", choose "Credentials"
Now, choose "Create new Client ID"
- The Application Type should be Web application
- Enter your domain in the Authorized Javascript Origins https://internal.yourcompany.com
- Enter the correct Authorized Redirect URL https://internal.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback
  - NOTE: oauth2_proxy will only callback on the path /oauth2/callback
Under "APIs & Auth" choose "Consent Screen"
- Fill in the necessary fields and Save (this is required)
Take note of the Client ID and Client Secret

It's recommended to refresh sessions on a short interval (1h) with cookie-refresh setting which validates that the account is still authorized.

GitHub Auth Provider

Create a new project: https://github.com/settings/developers
Under Authorization callback URL enter the correct url ie https://internal.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback

The GitHub auth provider supports two additional parameters to restrict authentication to Organization or Team level access. Restricting by org and team is normally accompanied with --email-domain=*

-github-org="": restrict logins to members of this organisation
-github-team="": restrict logins to members of this team

LinkedIn Auth Provider

For LinkedIn, the registration steps are:

Create a new project: https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer
In the OAuth User Agreement section:
- In default scope, select r_basicprofile and r_emailaddress.
- In "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URLs", enter https://internal.yourcompany.com/oauth2/callback
Fill in the remaining required fields and Save.
Take note of the Consumer Key / API Key and Consumer Secret / Secret Key

MyUSA Auth Provider

The MyUSA authentication service (GitHub)

Email Authentication

To authorize by email domain use --email-domain=yourcompany.com. To authorize individual email addresses use --authenticated-emails-file=/path/to/file with one email per line. To authorize all email addresse use --email-domain=*.

Configuration

oauth2_proxy can be configured via config file, command line options or environment variables.

Config File

An example oauth2_proxy.cfg config file is in the contrib directory. It can be used by specifying -config=/etc/oauth2_proxy.cfg

Command Line Options

Usage of oauth2_proxy:
  -authenticated-emails-file="": authenticate against emails via file (one per line)

See below for provider specific options

Environment variables

The environment variables OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_ID, OAUTH2_PROXY_CLIENT_SECRET, OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_SECRET, OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_DOMAIN and OAUTH2_PROXY_COOKIE_EXPIRE can be used in place of the corresponding command-line arguments.

SSL Configuration

There are two recommended configurations.

Configure SSL Terminiation with OAuth2 Proxy by providing a --tls-cert=/path/to/cert.pem and --tls-key=/path/to/cert.key.

The command line to run oauth2_proxy in this configuration would look like this:

./oauth2_proxy \
   --email-domain="yourcompany.com"  \
   --upstream=http://127.0.0.1:8080/ \
   --tls-cert=/path/to/cert.pem \
   --tls-key=/path/to/cert.key \
   --cookie-secret=... \
   --cookie-secure=true \
   --provider=... \
   --client-id=... \
   --client-secret=...

Configure SSL Termination with Nginx (example config below), Amazon ELB, Google Cloud Platform Load Balancing, or ....

Because oauth2_proxy listens on 127.0.0.1:4180 by default, to listen on all interfaces (needed when using an external load balancer like Amazon ELB or Google Platform Load Balancing) use --http-address="0.0.0.0:4180" or --http-address="http://:4180".

Nginx will listen on port 443 and handle SSL connections while proxying to oauth2_proxy on port 4180. oauth2_proxy will then authenticate requests for an upstream application. The external endpoint for this example would be https://internal.yourcompany.com/.

An example Nginx config follows. Note the use of Strict-Transport-Security header to pin requests to SSL via HSTS:

server {
    listen 443 default ssl;
    server_name internal.yourcompany.com;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/cert.key;
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=2592000;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4180;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
        proxy_connect_timeout 1;
        proxy_send_timeout 30;
        proxy_read_timeout 30;
    }
}
