I need to use Firebase Admin Java in my AWS Lambda project, but Firebase Auth Admin throws a SocketTimeoutException when it tries to fetch a Public Key within the Google's servers. I know Firebase Admin is configured correctly, because I can run it locally in a Tomcat instance with no worries.
I tried then to just make an HTTPS Request to a test API like https://postman-echo.com/get?foo1=bar1&foo2=bar2, and it has the same behavior, I get a timeout as well, which leads me to think that this is a problem with Lambda invoking an HTTPS Request.
Now what I know:
- My lambda is integrated with API Gateway
- My lambda is inside a subnet with internet access through an Internet Gateway
- My lambda's Security Group is wide open
- I know this problem happens on HTTPS Requests, I am not sure about pure HTTP. This is hard to test because I can't find an API out there that will not automatically redirect from HTTP to HTTPS, and I can't roll my own right now.
Just for the sake of completeness I will leave here the SocketTimeoutException I get from Firebase Admin Java, although I am not sure yet if this is a problem within the Firebase Admin library or with AWS Lambda + HTTPS or both together:
