I want to authenticate end users using JWT provided by OpenId connect providers like keycloak or auth0..etc in a istio service mesh.But I am not able to successfully integrate it proboably because I am new to JWT auth and istio.

Can someone provide right information and sources to complete the authentication?It will be really helpful.

There are some links which could be helpful with JWT

For JWT with auth0

And for JWT with keycloak

But I am not able to successfully integrate it proboably because I am new to JWT auth and istio.

If you have tried 1 of below tutorials and it didn't work my suggestion would be to create new stackoverflow question and accurately describe your problem there, so community could actually help you with your issue.

I hope those links help you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • Thanks..I am able to get the access tokens and verify it in istio using postman.But how will I get the user login page from keycloak?Do I have to write any code in my application or any frontend code? – sachin Mar 03 '20 at 07:59
  • Hey @sachin, what you mean by "get the user login page"? You want to access your keycloak site like in the `4. Set up the client on KeyCloak` from the keycloak tutorial? – Jakub Mar 03 '20 at 08:29
  • I completed upto step 10.I also get the access tokens in the next step. But the next step 11 testing confuses me.How do a normal user login flow with authentication occur? By user login, I meant user giving his user name and password to keycloak and then keycloak verifies the credentials. – sachin Mar 03 '20 at 08:50
  • I think that line in step 11 explain everything? 'Because I don't implement any application to handle the user authentication flow so to test the scenario, I just use get the access token by calling the KeyCloak token endpoint using HTTP client'. If you want to have login page then based on [this tutorial](https://scalac.io/user-authentication-keycloak-1/) you need some frontend code for that. – Jakub Mar 03 '20 at 09:05
