This has been a project for learning a lot more about Reverse Proxy and Kubernernetes certificate based authentication.
An Authentication proxy where:
- A user logs in through Basic Auth.
- Is authenticated with LDAP
- Creates and Manages mTLS Certificates inside Kubernetes Cluster
- Proxying the request to the cluster and returning the reply
Docker image can be fetched from ghcr.io simonstiil/kube-auth-proxy
Can be build with go build .
Will also be available as a release in releases in the future
Is done in config.yaml following the structure
Example can be seen in config.yaml
ldap password is set with LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD
