# Kong External OAUTH 2.0

A Kong plugin, that let you use an external Oauth 2.0 provider to protect your API.

## Description

KONG has bundled a plugin to implement a full OAUTH 2.0 provider. This plugin instead let you use a
third party OAUTH 2.0 provider to protect your API/site implementing the full flow, it will automatically
expose a callback uri, and request an access token.

It will then request user info (specified in the configuration) and add some header to let be used
by your `upstream` service.

The plugin will periodically check for token validity. You can configure the time period through
a configuration parameter, in seconds.

If configured, it can also check the provided email address and make sure it belongs to a particular
domain, so you can use the plugin also for thirty party services.

## Installation

$ luarocks install external-oauth

To make Kong aware that it has to look for the new plugin, you'll have to add it to the custom_plugins
property in your configuration file.

```yaml
custom_plugins:
- external-oauth
```

Remember to restart Kong.

## Configuration

You can add the plugin with the following request:

```bash
$ curl -X POST http://kong:8001/apis/{api}/plugins \
--data "name=external-oauth" \
--data "config.authorize_url=https://oauth.something.net/openid-connect/authorize" \
--data "config.scope=openid+profile+email" \
--data "config.token_url=https://oauth.something.net/openid-connect/token" \
--data "config.client_id=SOME_CLEINT_ID" \
--data "config.client_secret=SOME_SECRET_KEY" \

--data "config.user_keys=email,name,sub"
--data "config.hosted_domain=mycompany.com"
--data "config.email_key=email"
```
