Google Single Sign-On

Create an OAuth client in the Google API Console

To use Google as an IdP for Single Sign-On, you will first need to create an OAuth web application in the Google API Console.

1. Open the Credentials page in the API Console

2. Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID.

3. Select Web application and give it a name

4. Under Restrictions, fill in the Authorized redirect URIs with

   Terminal

   copied

   http(s)://{{AMBASSADOR_URL}}/.ambassador/oauth2/redirection-endpoint

5. Click Create

6. Record the client ID and client secret in the pop-up window. You will need these when configuring Ambassador Edge Stack

Set up Ambassador Edge Stack

After creating an OAuth client in Google, configuring Ambassador Edge Stack to make use of it for authentication is simple.

1. Create an OAuth Filter with the credentials from above:

   yaml

   copied

   apiVersion: getambassador.io/v2
   kind: Filter
   metadata:
     name: google
   spec:
     OAuth2:
       # Google openid-configuration endpoint can be found at https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
       authorizationURL: https://accounts.google.com
       # The clientURL is the scheme and Host of your Ambassador endpoint
       clientURL: http(s)://{{AMBASSADOR_URL}}
       # Client ID from step 6 above
       clientID: CLIENT_ID
       # Secret created in step 6 above
       secret: CLIENT_SECRET

2. Create a FilterPolicy to use the Filter created above

   yaml

   copied

   apiVersion: getambassador.io/v2
   kind: FilterPolicy
   metadata:
     name: azure-policy
   spec:
     rules:
         # Requires authentication on requests from any hostname
       - host: "*"
         # Tells Ambassador Edge Stack to apply the Filter only on request to the quote /backend/get-quote/ endpoint 
         path: /backend/get-quote/
         # Identifies which Filter to use for the path and hose above
         filters:
           - name: google

3. Apply both the Filter and FilterPolicy above with kubectl

   Terminal

   copied

   kubectl apply -f google-filter.yaml
   kubectl apply -f google-policy.yaml

Now any requests to https://{{AMBASSADOR_URL}}/backend/get-quote/ will require authentication from Google.
