Flask JWT OIDC

Simple OIDC JWT extension to protect APIs

This is a fairly simple extension that should require minimal setup for OIDC standard services.

Currently it's testing against Keycloak, but will be adding in example configs and testing for:

Alternatives

There are some great alternatives that are not so opinionated and provide more support for general JWTs Check out: Flask-JWT-Simple

Example(s)

There is one example under example/flask_app It uses pytest and sets up a dummy JWT to be used in the tests.

Configuration

Create a .env file, or OS configmap, shell exports, etc.

#.env
export JWT_OIDC_WELL_KNOWN_CONFIG="https://KEYCLOAK-SERVICE/auth/realms/REALM-NAME/.well-known/openid-configuration"
export JWT_OIDC_AUDIENCE="keycloak-client"
export JWT_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET="keycloak-client-secret"

Create a config file, that reads in the environment variables:

# config.py

from os import environ as env
from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv

ENV_FILE = find_dotenv()
if ENV_FILE:
    load_dotenv(ENV_FILE)

class Config(object):

    JWT_OIDC_WELL_KNOWN_CONFIG = env.get('JWT_OIDC_WELL_KNOWN_CONFIG')
    JWT_OIDC_AUDIENCE = env.get('JWT_OIDC_AUDIENCE')
    JWT_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET = env.get('JWT_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET')

Create a flask script that to use the JWT services

Note: that roles can be checked as either decorators managing access to the function, or as a function call that returns True/False for finer grained access control in the body of the function.
