I need to create 2 jenkins jobs with different authentication mechanism say basic authentication and another with oauth2.0 authentication. After doing so when we change the configure global security>security realm to 1 mechanism say oauth2.0 authentication, need to see if the job with basic authentication work with basic authentication or gets overridden with OAuth2.0 mechanism.
Thanks in advance

I have used spring security in the past and understand that most of the features of keycloak can be achieved by using spring security ( ldap integration etc ).
Apart from easy social media login validation, are there any other unique features in key cloak which cannot be done using spring security?
With spring-security you would have to create Spring authentication server and explicitly configure/code certain things for integration with LDAP, OAuth2/OIDC providers.
Keycloak is already OAuth2/OIDC/SAMPL compliant IAM provider. It provides features like User Federation with options like LDAP, integration with other OIDC provider etc.
Keycloak provides SPI integration points where you can customize the request flow, use OTP, perform two factor authentication, add google CAPTCHA, or even your CAPTCHA. It provides role based authorization too if you need.
It also provides event handling integration points for events like Login, logout, refresh token, etc.
Keycloak Community will keep adding new features or keep supporting it w.r.t. changes in OAuth2, OIDC, SAML. You don't need to worry about updating your code time to time. Along with this, security updates will be there.
There are many more features.
Most importantly, why reinvent the wheel, if you get these many features and good support.
Keycloak allows you:
to use multiple user storage and get users from multiple LDAP/AD or Kerberos or use without any LDAP.
to login once (SSO) and forget about to login from another application with GUI;
to use one authorization server for multiple application by separation them by realms. One thing should be noted: keycloak could be installed on multiple nodes for better reliability; This also could helpful when application become big and once you decide to separate it on multiple.
to add user additional attributes and fields during get user info without coding (trivial example - set phone number) or specific roles (on realm or even client level) or groups and use all this on the top of an AD attributes;
to configure password rules like password expiration, e-mail validation and so on;
to set up 2-factor authorization with SMS or Email.
These things I think could be implemented using Spring Security, but it takes more time than Keycloak installation and configuration. Personally, I am using Keycloak in multiple commercial projects and could claim that Keycloak is good.
This is an architecture question. I want to implement an application that processes two kinds of users (admin and clients). Each role can register in the following ways:
admin: username/password registration
client: Facebook/Google/username&password registration
Based on the user's role each of them has a specific action to which he's authorized.
From a technology stack, I want to use Java 8, Spring Cloud Netflix and later on Docker and Kubernetes (in order to have auto-heal and auto-scale).
I've implemented Eureka discovery, Config server, Zuul Gateway and I have two microservices for each role (to get me started). I don't know at all how to approach the user's authentication/authorization, from what I see Spring Security 5 is no longer supporting Authorization server and I am supposed to use Keycloack? Should the gateway be the authorization server or should I create another component that is responsible for authentication? What do I use, how to implement, how to approach redirection between my authorization server and the business microservice?
I can't really find a proper documentation that uses username/password, social login and Spring Cloud Netflix, together with Spring Security 5.
Your gateway shouldn't be responsible for handling authentication.
One possibility is using the cas project. It can run as a micro service to handle the whole authentication process. It can handle multiple auth methods like database (for username / password) and social media like Google or Facebook.
It comes with a basic setup having a login page and a configured DockerFile. You can customize everything. Just add the related dependency and add the config in the application.properties. You can customize the frontend.
https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/planning/Getting-Started.html
By the way: if you use kubernetes you don't need a gateway or service discovery with eureka. Kubernetes does this for you.
For api security, after moving to #Kubernetes, you can use Envoy or similar solution
For authentication and authorisation, you need an identity management system (like #Okta or PingFederate or an open source version like #OpenIAM) and then integrate using Spring & OAUTH2.
I want to use WSO2 as a centralized authentication solution for all my clients.
I'm trying to setup this scenario:
Each client as Dev, QA and Prod Environments.
Some users should be able to log in into different environment.
So far, as with oAuth2 I could setup an app id for each environment, and allow or deny authentication per application.
With WSO2, I've been trying to setup some type of differentiated identity vaults, or specify this type of relationship, but unfortuantely, documentation hasn't been quite illustrative about how things are done.
Documentation talks about SSO but with SSO you have several IDP, in this scenario I want WSO2 IS 5.9.0 to BE the identity provider for all my infrastructure...
MultiTenancy create an IDP for each tenant automatically.
The only thing needed is to login with the credentials setup when adding the tenant, and WSO2 would handle the rest.
Yes is THAT simple!
If you don't want to create a multitenant installation, you may configure a service provider for each environment and also a different userstore for each environment with different credentials and set service providers up with adaptative authentication requesting only authenticated against the matching userstore.
It is explained in this documentation of WSO2: https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS570/Configuring+User+Store-Based+Adaptive+Authentication
You may also do it the same, based on the user's role with adaptative authentication if you don't want to create different userstores.
I am trying to enable OIDC authN and authZ workflow for my spring-java-web application. Ideally I wanted to do it in a IDP agnostic way.i.e.This application could be integrated with only and any one of the Azure AD,OKTA,AWS SSO,Google-auth by deployment admin.And I want users to be redirected to whatever provider the application is integrated with.
With OIDC as a standard, my understanding is i should be able to write a OIDC auth processing filter that should work with any of the providers. The necessary config that varies per provider ( auth url,client id,secret,JWKS url to get the provider keys etc) will be passed to this filter/rest template as parameters.
Q.1 Is it possible to implement provider agnostic OIDC filter? Can someone give any pointers?
I am aware that Spring natively provides Oauth2 libraries/apis like AuthorizationCodeResourceDetails, OAuth2ClientAuthenticationProcessingFilter . However I do not see any OIDC native processing filter in built. Is there any?
I tried and understood the workflow as given in https://www.baeldung.com/spring-security-openid-connect .However when i try to tweak this code to make it work with Azure AD it fails. Thats because Azure AD requires
The response_type parameter must include id_token.
The request must include nonce parameter to be set in request.
AuthorizationCodeResourceDetails does not support such param. Given that OIDC is a common standard ,
Q-2. I fail to understand why every provider still has different requirements? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of OIDC . Infact I read that google throws error if you pass nonce
Q-3. Are there any spring native ways to configure these additional provider specific params like nonce , promt, additional response-type ,preferable with examples?
I think your problems with Spring Security OIDC are that you're using the legacy OAuth library (at least that's what the baeldung article is illustrating). OAuth2 and OIDC are part of Spring Security 5.x now and not a separate project. There's an OIDC client "login-client" in this example: https://github.com/jgrandja/oauth2-protocol-patterns that might show different. Yes, OIDC should allow you to swap providers in and out although not all OIDC providers will implement everything (e.g. discovery, etc.)
We have a legacy Identity Provider which only supports two authentication mechanisms:
Oauth 1.0.
A custom service I can call with a user and password and
obtain a session token which then has to be placed in a custom
header of every other call to the IdP —to get user info and such.
I’d like to know whether there’s any plugin that will allow configuring Jenkins to delegate authentication to such an IdP through either mechanism. I'm starting to look at the Oauth Credentials Plugin, but it doesn't look like it'll do the trick.
By itself, this library has no user visible changes, it is intended only to surface new extension points on top of which OAuth providers may surface their own OAuth2Credentials implementations.
If not, then what are my options here? I’m thinking of writing a plugin to implement one of these. Is there a good guide I can use? Or an existing plugin I should extend?
As it turns out —and just in case anyone else is wondering how to do this— the Oauth Credentials Plugin is not for delegating Jenkins authentication to an Oauth Identity Provider. It's for creating Jenkins credentials which can then be used by jobs.
At this point in time, there's no plugin which will allow you to delegate Jenkins authentication to an identity providier exposing the deprecated Oauth 1.0 spec. You'll have to implement your own. The right way to do this is to extend this class:
hudson.security.SecurityRealm
I started doing this by following the examples set by Github's and Google's Oauth 2.0 plugins. But these both take very different approaches to the same problem — which filled my head with questions. So I did some more research and found this nice article which explains the basics and also points to a bare bones security realm example of how to do this. It helped me a lot. I hope it'll help others as well.
