Google Apps (G Suite), Microsoft Azure AD, GitHub, OKTA, Auth0, Centrify authentication for CloudFront using Lambda@Edge. The original use case for cloudfront-auth was to serve private S3 content over HTTPS without running a proxy server in EC2 to authenticate requests; but cloudfront-auth can be used authenticate requests of any Cloudfront origin configuration.

Description

Upon successful authentication, a cookie (named TOKEN) with the value of a signed JWT is set and the user redirected back to the originally requested path. Upon each request, Lambda@Edge checks the JWT for validity (signature, expiration date, audience and matching hosted domain) and will redirect the user to configured provider's login when their session has timed out.

Usage

If your CloudFront distribution is pointed at a S3 bucket, configure origin access identity so S3 objects can be stored with private permissions. (Origin access identity requires the S3 ACL owner be the account owner. Use our s3-object-owner-monitor Lambda function if writing objects across multiple accounts.)

Enable SSL/HTTPS on your CloudFront distribution; AWS Certificate Manager can be used to provision a no-cost certificate.

Session duration is defined as the number of hours that the JWT is valid for. After session expiration, cloudfront-auth will redirect the user to the configured provider to re-authenticate. RSA keys are used to sign and validate the JWT. If the files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub do not exist they will be automatically generated by the build. To disable all issued JWTs upload a new ZIP using the Lambda Console after deleting the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files (a new key will be automatically generated).

Github

Clone or download this repo

Contributing

All contributions are welcome. Please create an issue in order open up communication with the community.

When implementing a new flow or using an already implemented flow, be sure to follow the same style used in build.js. The config.json file should have an object for each request made. For example, openid.index.js converts config.AUTH_REQUEST and config.TOKEN_REQUEST to querystrings for simplified requests (after adding dynamic variables such as state or nonce). For implementations that are not generic (most), endpoints are hardcoded in to the config (or discovery documents).

Be considerate of our limitations. The zipped function can be no more than 1MB in size and execution cannot take longer than 5 seconds, so we must pay close attention to the size of our dependencies and complexity of operations.
