Kong External OAUTH 2.0 (3rd Party OAUTH)

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 3rd-party-oauth

To make Kong aware that it has to look for the new plugin, you'll have to add enable this plugin in your KONG config.
