Main Changes since 0.4.0

Improved compatibility with authorization servers

Some claims are no longer required in token or Introspection Endpoint response (iat).
Others can be configured to not be required:

  • iss claim is not required if oauth.check.issuer is set to false
  • sub claim is no longer required if oauth.username.claim is configured since then it is no longer used to extract principal.

Additional options were added to improve interoperability with authorization servers.

The following options were added:

  • oauth.scope

    Scope can now be specified for the Token endpoint on the Kafka clients and on the Kafka broker for inter-broker communication.

  • oauth.check.issuer

    Issuer check can now be disabled when configuring token validation on the Kafka broker - some authorization servers don't provide iss claim.

  • oauth.fallback.username.claim

    Principal can now be extracted from JWT token or Introspection endpoint response by using multiple claims.
    First oauth.username.claim is attempted (if configured). If the value is not present, the fallback claim is attempted.
    If neither oauth.username.claim nor oauth.fallback.username.claim is specified or its value present, sub claim is used.

  • oauth.fallback.username.prefix

    If principal is set by oauth.fallback.username.claim then its value will be prefixed by the value of oauth.fallback.username.prefix, if specified.

  • oauth.userinfo.endpoint.uri

    Sometimes the introspection endpoint doesn't provide any claim that could be used for the principal. In such a case User Info Endpoint can be used, and configuration of oauth.username.claim, oauth.fallback.username.claim, and oauth.fallback.username.prefix is taken into account.

  • oauth.valid.token.type

    When using the Introspection Endpoint, some servers use custom values for token_type.
    If this configuration parameter is set then the token_type attribute has to be present in Introspection Token response, and has to have the specified value.

Fixed JWKS keys refresh bug

The job that refreshes the keys would be cancelled if fetching of keys failed due to network error or authorization server glitch.

Fixed a non-standard token_type enforcement when using the Introspection Endpoint

If token_type was present it was expected to be equal to access_token which is not an OAuth 2.0 spec compliant value.
Token type check is now disabled unless the newly introduced oauth.valid.token.type configuration option is set.

Improved examples

  • Fixed an issue with keycloak and hydra containers not visible when starting services in separate shells.

    The instructions for running keycloak / hydra separately omitted the required -f compose.yml as a first compose file, resulting in a separate bridge network being used.

  • Added Spring Security Authorization Server

Improved logging to facilitate troubleshooting

There is now some TRACE logging support which should only ever be used in development / testing environment because it outputs secrets into the log.
When integrating with your authorization server, enabling TRACE logging on io.strimzi.kafka.oauth logger will output the authorization server responses which can point you to how to correctly configure oauth.* parameters to make the integration work.

Bumped keycloak-core library version

The helper library used for JWT / JWKS handling was bumped to version 10.0.0
