Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy authentication policy for Pyramid
Project description
============================================================
Google Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy Authentication for Pyramid
============================================================
This package implements an authentication policy for Pyramid compatible with Google Cloud's `Identity-Aware Proxy <https://cloud.google.com/iap/>`.
Configuration
=============
After configuring your Identity-Aware Proxy, get the *Signed Header JWT Audience* from its settings (detailed instructions in `Securing your app with signed headers <https://cloud.google.com/iap/docs/signed-headers-howto>`.)
To enable JWT support in a Pyramid application:
.. code-block:: python
from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.authorization import ACLAuthorizationPolicy
from pyramid_iap import JWTClaimAuthenticationPolicy
def main():
config = Configurator()
# Pyramid requires an authorization policy to be active.
config.set_authorization_policy(ACLAuthorizationPolicy())
# Identity-Aware Proxy's Signed Header JWT Audience.
audience = "/projects/123/global/backendServices/456"
# Enable JWT authentication.
config.include('pyramid_iap')
config.add_iap_jwt_claims(audience)
config.set_authentication_policy(JWTClaimAuthenticationPolicy())
By default, the userid is the "sub" claim of the JWT token (e.g. "accounts.google.com:123456".) To instead use the "email" claim (e.g. "test@example.com") specify:
.. code-block:: python
config.set_authentication_policy(JWTClaimAuthenticationPolicy(userid_claim="email"))
Settings
========
There are a number of flags that specify how tokens are verified.
You can either set this in your .ini-file, or pass/override them directly to the ``config.add_iap_jwt_claims()`` function.
+--------------+------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
| Parameter | ini-file entry | Default | Description |
+==============+==================+===============+=============================================+
| audience | iap.audience | | Verified audience for the token (required.) |
+--------------+------------------+---------------+---------------------------------------------+
Uncommon settings
-----------------
These settings are unlikely to be needed if you are running behind Google Cloud IAP.
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
| Parameter | ini-file entry | Default | Description |
+==============+=================+===============+============================================+
| public_key_url | iap.public_key_url | https://www.gstatic.com/iap/verify/public_key | Url of keys used to verify token signatures. |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
| algorithm | iap.algorithm | ES256 | Hash or encryption algorithm |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
| leeway | iap.leeway | 0 | Number of seconds a token is allowed to be expired before it is rejected. |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
| http_header | iap.http_header | x-goog-iap-jwt-assertion | HTTP header used for tokens |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
| auth_type | iap.auth_type | JWT | Authentication type used in Authorization header. Unused for other HTTP headers. |
+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------+
Differences with pyrmid_jwt
===========================
This package is inspired by `pyramid_jwt <https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/pyramid_jwt/>` and seeks to remain compatible where possible.
* Public keys are fetched automatically from the ``public_key_url``.
* The ``create_jwt_token`` request method is not available since it is the responsiblity of the Idenitity-Aware Proxy to issue tokens.
* No authentication policy is configured by the ``add_iap_jwt_claims`` config method to provide flexibility for those using ``pyramid_multiauth``.
