Setup OpenID Connect¶

Configuring mod_auth_openidc¶

Federate Keystone (SP) and an external IdP using OpenID Connect (mod_auth_openidc)

To install mod_auth_openidc on Ubuntu, perform the following:

$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-openidc

This module is available for other distributions (Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat) from: https://github.com/pingidentity/mod_auth_openidc/releases

Enable the auth_openidc module:

$ sudo a2enmod auth_openidc

In the keystone vhost file, locate the virtual host entry and add the following entries for OpenID Connect:

<VirtualHost *:5000>

    ...

    OIDCClaimPrefix "OIDC-"
    OIDCResponseType "id_token"
    OIDCScope "openid email profile"
    OIDCProviderMetadataURL <url_of_provider_metadata>
    OIDCClientID <openid_client_id>
    OIDCClientSecret <openid_client_secret>
    OIDCCryptoPassphrase openstack
    OIDCRedirectURI http://localhost:5000/v3/OS-FEDERATION/identity_providers/<idp_id>/protocols/openid/auth

    <LocationMatch /v3/OS-FEDERATION/identity_providers/.*?/protocols/openid/auth>
      AuthType openid-connect
      Require valid-user
      LogLevel debug
    </LocationMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Note an example of an OIDCProviderMetadataURL instance is: https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration If not using OIDCProviderMetadataURL, then the following attributes must be specified: OIDCProviderIssuer, OIDCProviderAuthorizationEndpoint, OIDCProviderTokenEndpoint, OIDCProviderTokenEndpointAuth, OIDCProviderUserInfoEndpoint, and OIDCProviderJwksUri

Note, if using a mod_wsgi version less than 4.3.0, then the OIDCClaimPrefix must be specified to have only alphanumerics or a dash (“-“). This is because mod_wsgi blocks headers that do not fit this criteria. See http://modwsgi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/release-notes/version-4.3.0.html#bugs-fixed for more details

Once you are done, restart your Apache daemon:

$ sudo service apache2 restart

Tips¶

1. When creating a mapping, note that the ‘remote’ attributes will be prefixed, with HTTP_, so for instance, if you set OIDCClaimPrefix to OIDC-, then a typical remote value to check for is: HTTP_OIDC_ISS.
2. Don’t forget to add openid as an [auth] plugin in keystone.conf, see Configure authentication drivers in keystone.conf
