KeyAuth plugin - apikey is an unknown field

[BrunoQuaresma]

Summary

When I send a POST to my API passing the apikey on URL or header it returns a 400 error with:

{
    "apikey": "apikey is an unknown field"
}

Steps To Reproduce

1. Register an API

   curl -X POST \
   --url http://mykong.com/admin/apis \
   --header "apikey: kong-admin-api-key" \
   --data "name=myapp" \
   --data "uris=/myapp" \
   --data "upstream_url=http://myapp.com"

2. Assign keyauth plugin to the API with config.hide_credentials=true

   curl -X POST \
   --url http://mykong.com/admin/apis/myapp/plugins \
   --header "apikey: kong-admin-api-key" \
   --data "name=key-auth" \
   --data "config[hide_credentials]=true"

3. Make a POST using apikey on URL or header like: https://mykong.com/myapi/resource?apikey=some-key

   curl -X POST \
   'http://mykong.com/myapp/leaves?apikey=client-api-key' \
   -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
   -d '{
       "user_id": "1",
       "start_time": "some-time-here",
       "end_time": "some-time-here"
   }'

4. It returns 400 with the message "apikey is an unknown field"

   {
   "apikey": "apikey is an unknown field"
   }

I tried this and couldn't reproduce. Can you give us minimum example that shows this. E.g. commands to create API and plugin and consumer. The error:

{
    "apikey": "apikey is an unknown field"
}

feels like it is coming from admin (default 8001 and 8444) port, and not from proxy port (default 8000 and `8443).

Or is it actually that you proxy to Admin API? https://github.com/Kong/kong/issues/1630

Even then I couldn't reproduce with config.hide_credentials enabled.

@bungle Thanks for the feedback. Steps are updated!

I figured out the problem on my side. This error happens when the admin-api, and I don't know why, hasn't the key-auth plugin activated. For me, admin-api configurations shouldn't influence the other resources. :thinking:

Hi @BrunoQuaresma how did you solve this? I'm experiencing the same issue, thanks
