OpenID Connect: OpenID Connect with Amazon Cognito - Plugin

OpenID Connect with Amazon Cognito

Configure the OpenID Connect plugin with Amazon Cognito User Pools. User Pools are a multi-tenant LDAP-like user repository combined with an OAuth2 and an OpenID Connect interface.

Prerequisites

Set up an Amazon Cognito User Pool and Application Definition before configuring the plugin.

Environment variables

ISSUER: The issuer authentication URL for your IdP. For Amazon Cognito, that typically looks like this: https://cognito-idp.$REGION.amazonaws.com/$REGION_$POOL_ID/.well-known/openid-configuration
CLIENT_ID: The client ID that the plugin uses when it calls authenticated endpoints of the IdP.
CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret needed to connect to your IdP.

Set up the plugin

Add this section to your declarative configuration file:

_format_version: "3.0"
plugins:
  - name: openid-connect
    config:
      issuer: ${{ env "DECK_ISSUER" }}
      client_id:
      - ${{ env "DECK_CLIENT_ID" }}
      client_secret:
      - ${{ env "DECK_CLIENT_SECRET" }}

Make the following request:

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/plugins/ \
    --header "Accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "openid-connect",
      "config": {
        "issuer": "'$ISSUER'",
        "client_id": [
          "'$CLIENT_ID'"
        ],
        "client_secret": [
          "'$CLIENT_SECRET'"
        ]
      }
    }
    '

Make the following request:

curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/plugins/ \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "openid-connect",
      "config": {
        "issuer": "'$ISSUER'",
        "client_id": [
          "'$CLIENT_ID'"
        ],
        "client_secret": [
          "'$CLIENT_SECRET'"
        ]
      }
    }
    '

Make sure to replace the following placeholders with your own values:

region: Geographic region where your Kong Konnect is hosted and operates.
controlPlaneId: The id of the control plane.
KONNECT_TOKEN: Your Personal Access Token (PAT) associated with your Konnect account.

See the Konnect API reference to learn about region-specific URLs and personal access tokens.

variable "client_secret" {
