The OpenShift Container Platform control plane includes a built-in OAuth server. You can obtain OAuth access tokens to authenticate to the OpenShift Container Platform API. After you create your hosted cluster, you can configure OAuth by specifying an identity provider.
You can configure the internal OAuth server for your hosted cluster by using an OpenID Connect identity provider (oidc
).
You can configure OAuth for the following supported identity providers:
oidc
htpasswd
keystone
ldap
basic-authentication
request-header
github
gitlab
google
Adding any identity provider in the OAuth configuration removes the default kubeadmin
user provider.
When you configure identity providers, you must configure at least one |
You created your hosted cluster.
Edit the HostedCluster
custom resource (CR) on the hosting cluster by running the following command:
$ oc edit <hosted_cluster_name> -n <hosted_cluster_namespace>
Add the OAuth configuration in the HostedCluster

1 | Specifies your hosted cluster name. |
2 | Specifies your hosted cluster namespace. |
3 | This provider name is prefixed to the value of the identity claim to form an identity name. The provider name is also used to build the redirect URL. |
4 | Defines a list of attributes to use as the email address. |
5 | Defines a list of attributes to use as a display name. |
6 | Defines a list of attributes to use as a preferred user name. |
7 | Defines the ID of a client registered with the OpenID provider. You must allow the client to redirect to the https://oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<cluster_domain>/oauth2callback/<idp_provider_name> URL. |
8 | Defines a secret of a client registered with the OpenID provider. |
9 | The Issuer Identifier described in the OpenID spec. You must use https without query or fragment component. |
10 | Defines a mapping method that controls how mappings are established between identities of this provider and User objects. |

You can assign components IAM roles that provide short-term, limited-privilege security credentials by using the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) in hosted clusters on Amazon Web Services (AWS). By default, the CCO runs in a hosted control plane.
The CCO supports a manual mode only for hosted clusters on AWS. By default, hosted clusters are configured in a manual mode. The management cluster might use modes other than manual. |
You can verify that the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) is running correctly in your hosted control plane.
You configured the hosted cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Verify that the CCO is configured in a manual mode in your hosted cluster by running the following command:
$ oc get cloudcredentials <hosted_cluster_name> -n <hosted_cluster_namespace> -o=jsonpath={.spec.credentialsMode}
Manual
Verify that the value for the serviceAccountIssuer
resource is not empty by running the following command:
$ oc get authentication cluster --kubeconfig <hosted_cluster_name>.kubeconfig -o jsonpath --template '{.spec.serviceAccountIssuer }'

As an Operator author designing your project to run on Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), you can enable your Operator to authenticate against AWS on STS-enabled OpenShift Container Platform clusters by customizing your project to support the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO).
With this method, the Operator is responsible for creating the CredentialsRequest
object, which means the Operator requires RBAC permission to create these objects. Then, the Operator must be able to read the resulting secret
object.
By default, pods related to the Operator deployment mount a |

Add the following annotation to claim support for this method of CCO-based workflow with AWS STS:
# ...
metadata:
annotations:
features.operators.openshift.io/token-auth-aws: "true"
Update your Operator project code:
Get the role ARN from the environment variable set on the pod by the Subscription
object. For example:
// Get ENV var
roleARN := os.Getenv("ROLEARN")
setupLog.Info("getting role ARN", "role ARN = ", roleARN)
webIdentityTokenPath := "/var/run/secrets/openshift/serviceaccount/token"
Ensure you have a CredentialsRequest
object ready to be patched and applied. For example:
CredentialsRequest
object creationimport (
minterv1 "github.com/openshift/cloud-credential-operator/pkg/apis/cloudcredential/v1"
corev1 "k8s.io/api/core/v1"
metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"
)
var in = minterv1.AWSProviderSpec{
StatementEntries: []minterv1.StatementEntry{
{
Action: []string{
"s3:*",
},
Effect: "Allow",
Resource: "arn:aws:s3:*:*:*",
},
},
STSIAMRoleARN: "<role_arn>",
}
var codec = minterv1.Codec
var ProviderSpec, _ = codec.EncodeProviderSpec(in.DeepCopyObject())
const (
name = "<credential_request_name>"
namespace = "<namespace_name>"
)
var CredentialsRequestTemplate = &minterv1.CredentialsRequest{
ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
Name: name,
Namespace: "openshift-cloud-credential-operator",
},
Spec: minterv1.CredentialsRequestSpec{
ProviderSpec: ProviderSpec,
secretRef: corev1.ObjectReference{
Name: "<secret_name>",
Namespace: namespace,
},
ServiceAccountNames: []string{
"<service_account_name>",
},
CloudTokenPath: "",
},
}
Alternatively, if you are starting from a CredentialsRequest
object in YAML form (for example, as part of your Operator project code), you can handle it differently:
CredentialsRequest
object creation in YAML form// CredentialsRequest is a struct that represents a request for credentials
type CredentialsRequest struct {
APIVersion string `yaml:"apiVersion"`
Kind string `yaml:"kind"`
Metadata struct {
Name string `yaml:"name"`
Namespace string `yaml:"namespace"`
} `yaml:"metadata"`
Spec struct {
secretRef struct {
Name string `yaml:"name"`
Namespace string `yaml:"namespace"`
} `yaml:"secretRef"`
ProviderSpec struct {
APIVersion string `yaml:"apiVersion"`
Kind string `yaml:"kind"`
StatementEntries []struct {
Effect string `yaml:"effect"`
Action []string `yaml:"action"`
Resource string `yaml:"resource"`
} `yaml:"statementEntries"`
STSIAMRoleARN string `yaml:"stsIAMRoleARN"`
} `yaml:"providerSpec"`
// added new field
CloudTokenPath string `yaml:"cloudTokenPath"`
} `yaml:"spec"`
}
// ConsumeCredsRequestAddingTokenInfo is a function that takes a YAML filename and two strings as arguments
// It unmarshals the YAML file to a CredentialsRequest object and adds the token information.
func ConsumeCredsRequestAddingTokenInfo(fileName, tokenString, tokenPath string) (*CredentialsRequest, error) {
// open a file containing YAML form of a CredentialsRequest
file, err := os.Open(fileName)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
defer file.Close()
// create a new CredentialsRequest object
cr := &CredentialsRequest{}
// decode the yaml file to the object
decoder := yaml.NewDecoder(file)
err = decoder.Decode(cr)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
// assign the string to the existing field in the object
cr.Spec.CloudTokenPath = tokenPath
// return the modified object
return cr, nil
}
Adding a |
Add the role ARN and web identity token path to the credentials request and apply it during Operator initialization:
CredentialsRequest
object during Operator initialization// apply credentialsRequest on install
credReq := credreq.CredentialsRequestTemplate
credReq.Spec.CloudTokenPath = webIdentityTokenPath
c := mgr.GetClient()
if err := c.Create(context.TODO(), credReq); err != nil {
if !errors.IsAlreadyExists(err) {
setupLog.Error(err, "unable to create CredRequest")
os.Exit(1)
}
}
Ensure your Operator can wait for a secret
object to show up from the CCO, as shown in the following example, which is called along with the other items you are reconciling in your Operator:
secret
object// WaitForsecret is a function that takes a Kubernetes client, a namespace, and a v1 "k8s.io/api/core/v1" name as arguments
// It waits until the secret object with the given name exists in the given namespace
// It returns the secret object or an error if the timeout is exceeded
func WaitForsecret(client kubernetes.Interface, namespace, name string) (*v1.secret, error) {
// set a timeout of 10 minutes
timeout := time.After(10 * time.Minute) (1)
// set a polling interval of 10 seconds
ticker := time.NewTicker(10 * time.Second)
// loop until the timeout or the secret is found
for {
select {
case <-timeout:
// timeout is exceeded, return an error
return nil, fmt.Errorf("timed out waiting for secret %s in namespace %s", name, namespace)
// add to this error with a pointer to instructions for following a manual path to a secret that will work on STS
case <-ticker.C:
// polling interval is reached, try to get the secret
secret, err := client.CoreV1().secrets(namespace).Get(context.Background(), name, metav1.GetOptions{})
if err != nil {
if errors.IsNotFound(err) {
// secret does not exist yet, continue waiting
continue
} else {
// some other error occurred, return it
return nil, err
}
} else {
// secret is found, return it
return secret, nil
}
}
}
}
1 | The timeout value is based on an estimate of how fast the CCO might detect an added CredentialsRequest object and generate a secret object. You might consider lowering the time or creating custom feedback for cluster administrators that could be wondering why the Operator is not yet accessing the cloud resources. |
Set up the AWS configuration by reading the secret created by the CCO from the credentials request and creating the AWS config file containing the data from that secret:
func SharedCredentialsFileFromsecret(secret *corev1.secret) (string, error) {
var data []byte
switch {
case len(secret.Data["credentials"]) > 0:
data = secret.Data["credentials"]
default:
return "", errors.New("invalid secret for aws credentials")
}
f, err := ioutil.TempFile("", "aws-shared-credentials")
if err != nil {
return "", errors.Wrap(err, "failed to create file for shared credentials")
}
defer f.Close()
if _, err := f.Write(data); err != nil {
return "", errors.Wrapf(err, "failed to write credentials to %s", f.Name())
}
return f.Name(), nil
}
The secret is assumed to exist, but your Operator code should wait and retry when using this secret to give time to the CCO to create the secret. Additionally, the wait period should eventually time out and warn users that the OpenShift Container Platform cluster version, and therefore the CCO, might be an earlier version that does not support the |
Configure the AWS SDK session, for example:
sharedCredentialsFile, err := SharedCredentialsFileFromsecret(secret)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
options := session.Options{
SharedConfigState: session.SharedConfigEnable,
SharedConfigFiles: []string{sharedCredentialsFile},
}
