Installing Keycloak, an OIDC Provider, on OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes	Secure Your OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Cluster with Keycloak, an OpenID Connect provider (OIDC) and RBAC.	2022-11-24

Objective

The main objective of this tutorial is to secure your OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Cluster with OpenID Connect (OIDC) and RBAC.

First of all, what is OIDC?

OIDC stands for OpenID Connect. It is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol.
This protocol allows verifying the user identity when a user is trying to access a protected HTTPs endpoint.

Several OpenID Connect providers exists like Dex, Keycloak or a SaaS provider and today we will use Keycloak for our use case.

What is Keycloak?

Keycloak is an open source Identity and Access Management solution aimed at modern applications and services.
It makes it easy to secure applications and services with little to no code.
More information can be found here: Official Keycloak documentation

Why are we talking about OIDC and Keycloak?

That's because in this tutorial we want to:

easily secure applications and services deployed in a Kubernetes cluster
be able to configure a working Keycloak deployment on top of a Managed Kubernetes Service provided by OVHcloud
configure the OpenIdConnect flags available for the kube-apiserver component of a Managed Kubernetes Service through the OVHcloud Control Panel
be able to use the kubectl command line with the Keycloak OpenIdConnect provider configured

In this tutorial we are going to:

install Keycloak on a freshly created OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service cluster
configure a Keycloak instance in our Kubernetes cluster as an OIDC provider

You can use the Reset cluster function in the Public Cloud section of the OVHcloud Control Panel{.external} to reinitialize your cluster before following this tutorial.

Requirements

This tutorial presupposes that you already have a working OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes cluster, and some basic knowledge of how to operate it. If you want to know more on those topics, please consult the deploying a Hello World application documentation.

This tutorial has been written to be fully compliant with the release v1.22 of Kubernetes.
You may need to adapt it to be able to deploy a functional Keycloak instance in Kubernetes release prior to the v1.22.

Dependencies

A cert-manager to enable HTTPS connection through Keycloak

More information can be found here: Official cert-manager documentation
Helm chart description: cert-manager Helm chart
Helm Chart used for the deployment: jetstack/cert-manager

How to add the cert-manager Helm repository:

helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update

Then install the cert-manager operator from its Helm chart:

helm install \
  ovh-cert-lab jetstack/cert-manager \
  --namespace cert-manager \
  --create-namespace \
  --version v1.6.1 \
  --set replicas=1 \
  --set rbac.create=true \
  --set prometheus.enabled=false \
  --set installCRDs=true

This command will install the cert-manager with the values we defined, create a new cert-manager namespace, and install the new CRD (CustomResourceDefinitions):

$ helm install \
  ovh-cert-lab jetstack/cert-manager \
  --namespace cert-manager \
  --create-namespace \
  --version v1.6.1 \
  --set replicas=1 \
  --set rbac.create=true \
  --set prometheus.enabled=false \
  --set installCRDs=true

NAMESPACE: cert-manager
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
cert-manager v1.6.1 has been deployed successfully!

In order to begin issuing certificates, you will need to set up a ClusterIssuer
or Issuer resource (for example, by creating a 'letsencrypt-staging' issuer).

More information on the different types of issuers and how to configure them
can be found in our documentation:

https://cert-manager.io/docs/configuration/

For information on how to configure cert-manager to automatically provision
Certificates for Ingress resources, take a look at the `ingress-shim`
documentation:

https://cert-manager.io/docs/usage/ingress/

Check cert-manager have been deployed correctly with kubectl get all -n cert-manager command:

$ kubectl get all -n cert-manager

You should have new Deployments, Services, ReplicaSets and Pods running in your cluster.

Then, we will create an ACME ClusterIssuer used by the cert-manager operator to request certificates from ACME servers, including from Let’s Encrypt.

During this lab, we will use the Let's Encrypt production environment to generate all our testing certificates.

Warning

Warning! Using the Let's Encrypt Staging environment is not recommended and not compliant with this tutorial.

Create a ClusterIssuer in a file named issuer.yaml with the following content:

apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-production
spec:
  acme:
    # You must replace this email address with your own.
    # Let's Encrypt will use this to contact you about expiring
    # certificates, and issues related to your account.
    email: [YOUR_EMAIL]
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    privateKeySecretRef:
      # Secret resource that will be used to store the account's private key.
      name: acme-production-issuer-http01-account-key
    # Add a single challenge solver, HTTP01 using nginx
    solvers:
    - http01:
        ingress:
          class: nginx

[!primary]

Do not forget to replace [YOUR_EMAIL] by a real value, it will be used for ACME challenges.

Apply the YAML manifest:

kubectl apply -f issuer.yaml

You should have a new ClusterIssuer deployed in your cluster:

$ kubectl apply -f issuer.yaml
clusterissuer.cert-manager.io/letsencrypt-production created

$ kubectl get clusterissuer letsencrypt-production -o yaml -n cert-manager | kubectl neat
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
  name: letsencrypt-production
spec:
  acme:
    email: lab@ovhcloud.com
    preferredChain: ""
    privateKeySecretRef:
      name: acme-production-issuer-http01-account-key
    server: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
    solvers:
    - http01:
        ingress:
          class: nginx

Warning

Warning! You can use the neat kubectl plugin in order to remove useless information in Kubernetes manifest files.

An Ingress Nginx to publicly expose Keycloak

More information can be found here: Official ingress-nginx documentation
Helm chart description: ingress-nginx Helm chart
Helm Chart used for the deployment: ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx

How to add ingress-nginx Helm repository:

helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
helm repo update

Then install the ingress-nginx controller:

helm install \
  ovh-ingress-lab ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \
  --namespace ingress-nginx \
  --create-namespace \
  --version 4.0.6

This command will install the ingress-nginx and create a new ingress-nginx namespace:

$ helm install \
  ovh-ingress-lab ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \
  --namespace ingress-nginx \
  --create-namespace \
  --version 4.0.6
NAME: ovh-ingress-lab
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Jun 28 09:43:52 2022
NAMESPACE: ingress-nginx
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The ingress-nginx controller has been installed.
It may take a few minutes for the LoadBalancer IP to be available.
You can watch the status by running 'kubectl --namespace ingress-nginx get services -o wide -w ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller'

An example Ingress that makes use of the controller:

  apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
  kind: Ingress
  metadata:
    annotations:
      kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    name: example
    namespace: foo
  spec:
    ingressClassName: example-class
    rules:
      - host: www.example.com
        http:
          paths:
            - path: /
              pathType: Prefix
              backend:
                service:
                  name: exampleService
                  port: 80
    # This section is only required if TLS is to be enabled for the Ingress
    tls:
      - hosts:
        - www.example.com
        secretName: example-tls

If TLS is enabled for the Ingress, a Secret containing the certificate and key must also be provided:

  apiVersion: v1
  kind: Secret
  metadata:
    name: example-tls
    namespace: foo
  data:
    tls.crt: <base64 encoded cert>
    tls.key: <base64 encoded key>
  type: kubernetes.io/tls

You should have new resources in ingress-nginx namespace:

$ kubectl get all -n ingress-nginx

If you need to customize your ingress-nginx configuration, please refer to the following documentation: ingress-nginx values

[!primary]

Installing this ingress-nginx controller will order a LoadBalancer provided by OVHcloud (this load balancer will be monthly billed).
For more information, please refer to the following documentation: Using the OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes LoadBalancer

To check if the LoadBalancer is up and running, execute the following CLI in a console:

kubectl --namespace ingress-nginx get services ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller -o wide

You should obtain a result similar to this:

$ kubectl --namespace ingress-nginx get services ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller -o wide

NAME                                       TYPE           CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP       PORT(S)                      AGE    SELECTOR
ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller   LoadBalancer   10.3.166.138   135.125.84.194   80:32133/TCP,443:31761/TCP   116s   app.kubernetes.io/component=controller,app.kubernetes.io/instance=ovh-ingress-lab,app.kubernetes.io/name=ingress-nginx

Once your LoadBalancer is up and running, get its IP address to configure your domain name zone:

export INGRESS_URL=$(kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')
echo $INGRESS_URL

You should obtain a result similar to this:

$ export INGRESS_URL=$(kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx ovh-ingress-lab-ingress-nginx-controller -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')

$ echo $INGRESS_URL
135.125.84.194

If you are using the OVHcloud Domain name product, you can follow this documentation to configure your DNS record to link it to the public IPv4 address associated to your LoadBalancer: Editing an OVHcloud DNS zone.

If you are using an external DNS provider, please configure your domain before reading the rest of this tutorial.

In our case, we have an example.com domain name. The nslookup command output of our domain entry shows the following information:

$ nslookup keycloak.example.com
Server:		10.15.25.129
Address:	10.15.25.129#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	keycloak.example.com
Address: 135.125.84.194

A PersistentVolume will be created to host all PostgreSQL data.

This PersistentVolume will be provided through the Cinder storage class which is the default storage class used by Managed Kubernetes Service at OVHcloud (this volume will be billed).

For more information, please refer to the following documentation: Setting-up a Persistent Volume on OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes

Keycloak installation

How to add the codeCentric repository:

helm repo add codecentric https://codecentric.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

Create a file called keycloack-values.yaml with the following content:

# Keycloak chart configuration

replicas: 1
restartPolicy: "Always"
serviceAccount:
  create: true
  name: "sa-keyclok-lab"
prometheus:
  enabled: false
rbac:

    value: "ovhcloud_keycloak_adm" # CHANGEME
  - name: KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD
    value: "ThisIsNotAsecuredPassword" # CHANGEME
  - name: KEYCLOAK_LOGLEVEL
    value: INFO
  - name: PROXY_ADDRESS_FORWARDING
    value: "true"
service:
  httpPort: 8080
  httpsPort: 8443
ingress:
  enabled: false

# PostegreSQL sub-chart configuration

postgresql:
  # This will create a Cinder volume to store the Keycloak PG data
  enabled: true
  persistence:
    enabled: true
  postgresqlUsername: "ovhcloud_postgresql_adm" # CHANGEME
  postgresqlPassword: "ThisIsNotAsecuredPassword" # CHANGEME
  volumePermissions:
    enabled: true

[!primary]

Replace all values with the comment CHANGEME with strong usernames and passwords.

Then install the codecentric/keycloak Helm chart:

helm install \
  ovh-keycloak-lab codecentric/keycloak \
  -n keycloak \
  --create-namespace \
  --version 15.1.0 \
  -f keycloack-values.yaml

You should obtain the following result:

$ helm install \
  ovh-keycloak-lab codecentric/keycloak \
  -n keycloak \
  --create-namespace \
  --version 15.1.0 \
  -f keycloack-values.yaml

Keycloak was installed with a Service of type ClusterIP

Create a port-forwarding with the following commands:

export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace keycloak -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=keycloak,app.kubernetes.io/instance=ovh-keycloak-lab" -o name)
echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"
kubectl --namespace keycloak port-forward "$POD_NAME" 8080

Check if the Keycloak StatefulSet is in Ready state:

kubectl -n keycloak get statefulsets.apps -o wide

In our example, after waiting a few minutes, our StatefulSets are in Ready state:

$ kubectl -n keycloak get statefulsets.apps -o wide

[!primary]

Replace example.com by your domain name

Then apply the YAML file to configure the Ingress route required to expose Keycloak on the Internet:

kubectl apply -f nginx-ingress-definition.yaml

Keycloak configuration

If you are reading this chapter, it indicates that your Keycloak is now up and running.
Let's go and open the Keycloak Web console: https://keycloak.your-domain-name.tld/.

In our example, the URL to our installed keycloak is https://keycloak.example.com/. If you change it with your custom URL, you should see the Keycloak UI like this:

Then, click in Administration Console and login with the username and password configured in the keycloack-values.yaml file you filled and modified in Keycloak installation section of this guide.

Create a REALM

A realm in Keycloak is the equivalent of a tenant or a namespace. It allows creating isolated groups of applications and users.
By default, there is a single realm in Keycloak called Master. It is dedicated to manage Keycloak and should not be used for your own applications.

Let's create a dedicated realm for our tutorial:

Display the dropdown menu in the top-left corner where it is indicated Master, then click on the Add realm{.action} blue button.
Fill in the form with this name: ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication, then click on the Create{.action} blue button.

Create a CLIENT

A client in Keycloak is an entity that can request a Keycloak server to authenticate a user.

From the previously created realm, click on the left-hand menu Clients{.action} under the Configure category:

Click on Create in the top-right corner of the table.
Fill in the form with the following parameters:

Client ID: k8s-oidc-auth
Client Protocol: openid-connect
Root URL: https: https://keycloak.your-domain-name.tld/

In our example, the new Client informations are:

Then click on the Save button.
In the new created client, Find the Access Type field and set its value to confidential to require a secret to initiate the login protocol. Then click on the Save blue button to save the change.

Then click on the Credentials tab. Find the Valid Redirect URIs field and set the following value: *
Find the Admin URL and the Web Origins fields and set their values to your defined domain name if it is not already done.

In our example: https://keycloak.example.com/.
__\/!\ Be careful to use the HTTPS schema only /!\\__
Save your changes.

Create a USER

From the previously created realm, click on the left-hand menu Users{.action} under the Manage category.
Click on Add user{.action} in the top-right corner of the table.
Fill in the form. Only the Username field is required, it's enough for this tutorial.

In our example, we created the following user:

USERNAME: ovhcloud-keycloak-tutorial
PASSWORD: ovhcloud-keycloak-tutorial-awesome-password

Then click on the Save button.

The first user connection required an initial password, so let's create it:

Click on the Credentials{.action} tab
Fill in the Set Password form
Disable the Temporary flag to prevent having to update the password on first login
Then click on the Set Password{.action} button and confirm your choice

Configure Keycloak instance in your Kubernetes cluster as an OIDC provider

Now that you have a working keycloak, your Provider URL is https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication, and since you created a User, you can read the Configuring the OIDC provider on an OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes cluster guide to configure the OIDC provider on your Kubernetes cluster via the OVHcloud Control Panel, the OVHcloud API or via Terraform.

Explanations:

In Provider URL field you should copy/paste the URL to access to the previously defined realm: https://${your-configured-root-url}/auth/realms/${your-configured-realm-name}

In our example we used the ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication realm issuerUrl: https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication.

In Client ID you should copy/paste the name of the Keycloak client previously defined.

In our example we defined the client named: k8s-oidc-auth.

Our Kubernetes cluster is now configured with our Keycloak instances, both are linked.

OIDC integration and configuration

If it is not already done, you must install the kubectl plugin manager named Krew.
Then, install the oidc-login plugin to extend the capacity of the kubectl command line and easily configure your environment to be able to use your Keycloak server.

kubectl krew install oidc-login

Once oidc-login is installed, go back to the Keycloak web interface to get your client secret.

You can find this information here:

Click on the Clients{.action} menu in the left column
Click on your previously created client (k8s-oidc-auth in my example)
Go to the Credentials{.action} tab ang get your secret value

Then, customize the following command line, with your information and execute it to be able to:

Log in to your Keycloak provider through your browser
Generate a token from it
Configure your Kubectl context to access to Kubernetes APIs with the freshly generated token

Here with the information related to our example:

kubectl oidc-login setup \
--oidc-issuer-url="https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication" \
--oidc-client-id="k8s-oidc-auth" \
--oidc-client-secret="c9fbfe32-bff1-4180-b9ff-29108e42b2a5"

Your favorite browser will display an authentication page to your Keycloak server.
Log in with the credentials defined during the user creation step of this tutorial.

Once the authentication succeeded, you can close your browser tab on go back to your console where a message is displayed.

The oidc-login plugin has given you some instructions to follow to finalize the configuration of your Kubectl environment.

In step 3 of the oidc-login output, you must create a ClusterRoleBinding:

# Example of output generated on our environment, please customize it with your information
kubectl create clusterrolebinding oidc-cluster-admin --clusterrole=cluster-admin --user='https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication#fdb220d7-ad75-4486-9866-b8f59bd6e661'

You can ignore the step 4, because we already configured the kube-apiserver through the OVHcloud Control Panel.

Then, for the step 5, configure your kubeconfig:

# Example of output generated on our environment, please customize it with your information
kubectl config set-credentials oidc \
  --exec-api-version=client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1 \
  --exec-command=kubectl \
  --exec-arg=oidc-login \
  --exec-arg=get-token \
  --exec-arg=--oidc-issuer-url=https://keycloak.example.com/auth/realms/ovh-lab-k8s-oidc-authentication \
  --exec-arg=--oidc-client-id=k8s-oidc-auth \
  --exec-arg=--oidc-client-secret="c9fbfe32-bff1-4180-b9ff-29108e42b2a5"

And verify your cluster access (step 6 of the oidc-login output) with the following command:

kubectl --user=oidc get nodes

For example:

$ kubectl --user=oidc get nodes
NAME                                         STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
nodepool-d18716fa-e910-4e77-a2-node-79add5   Ready    <none>   2d    v1.22.2
nodepool-d18716fa-e910-4e77-a2-node-aa7701   Ready    <none>   2d    v1.22.2
nodepool-d18716fa-e910-4e77-a2-node-f9f18e   Ready    <none>   2d    v1.22.2

If you can see the nodes of your Managed Kubernetes Service, congratulations, your Keycloak instance is up and running!

Upgrade the Keycloak deployment if needed

Enter the following command:

helm upgrade \
  ovhcloud-keycloak-tutorial codecentric/keycloak \
  -n keycloak \
  -f keycloack-values.yaml

Rollout restarts the Keycloak StatefulSets if needed

kubectl -n keycloak rollout restart statefulset ovh-keycloak-lab

Various troubleshooting

If the cert-manager namespace is stuck in deleting state, see the following documentation: namespace-stuck-in-terminating-state

Cleanup

To clean up all existing resources related to the Keycloak Helm chart, you can execute the following command lines:

# Delete the Keycloak statefulsets
helm -n keycloak uninstall ovh-keycloak-lab
# Delete the data related to the Keycloak deployment
kubectl -n keycloak delete pvc data-ovh-keycloak-lab-postgresql-0
# Delete the Keycloak namespace
kubectl delete namespaces keycloak

To clean up all existing resources related to the ingress-nginx Helm chart, execute the following command lines:

# Delete the ingress-nginx deployments
helm -n ingress-nginx uninstall ovh-ingress-lab 
# Delete the ingress-nginx namespace
kubectl delete namespaces ingress-nginx

To clean up all existing resources related to the cert-manager Helm chart, execute the following command lines:

# Delete the cert-manager deployments
helm -n cert-manager uninstall ovh-cert-lab 
# Delete the cert-manager namespace
kubectl delete namespaces cert-manager
