- DESCRIPTION
- Create a new OIDC workload identity pool provider.
- EXAMPLES
- The following command creates a disabled OIDC workload identity pool provider inthe default project with the ID
. Explicit valuesfor all required and optional parameters are provided.my-workload-identity-poolgcloudiamworkload-identity-poolsproviderscreate-oidcmy-workload-identity-pool-provider--location="global"--workload-identity-pool="my-workload-identity-pool"--display-name="My workload pool provider"--description="My workload pool provider description"--disabled--attribute-mapping="google.subject=assertion.sub"--attribute-condition="true"--issuer-uri="https://test-idp.com"--allowed-audiences=https://test-audience-1.com,https://\test-audience-2.com--jwk-json-path="path/to/jwk.json" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
- Workload identity pool provider resource - The workload identity pool providerto create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes ofthis resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group butcan be set in other ways.
To set the
projectattribute:- provide the argument
provideron the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
This must be specified.
PROVIDER- ID of the workload identity pool provider or fully qualified identifier for theworkload identity pool provider.
To set the
providerattribute:- provide the argument
provideron the command line.
This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.
- provide the argument
--location=LOCATION- The location name.
To set the
locationattribute:- provide the argument
provideron the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--locationon the command line.
- provide the argument
--workload-identity-pool=WORKLOAD_IDENTITY_POOL- The ID to use for the pool, which becomes the final component of the resourcename. This value should be 4-32 characters, and may contain the characters[a-z0-9-]. The prefix
gcp-is reserved for use by Google, and maynot be specified.To set theworkload-identity-poolattribute:- provide the argument
provideron the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--workload-identity-poolon the command line.
- provide the argument
- provide the argument
- Workload identity pool provider resource - The workload identity pool providerto create. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes ofthis resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group butcan be set in other ways.
- REQUIRED FLAGS
--attribute-mapping=[KEY=VALUE,…]- Maps attributes from authentication credentials issued by an external identityprovider to Google Cloud attributes, such as
subjectandsegment.Each key must be a string specifying the Google Cloud IAM attribute to map to.
The following keys are supported:
google.subject: The principal IAM is authenticating. You canreference this value in IAM bindings. This is also the subject that appears inCloud Logging logs. Cannot exceed 127 bytes.
google.groups: Groups the external identity belongs to. You cangrant groups access to resources using an IAMprincipalSetbinding;access applies to all members of the group.
You can also provide custom attributes by specifying
attribute.{custom_attribute}, where{custom_attribute}is the name of the custom attribute to be mapped. You can define a maximum of 50custom attributes. The maximum length of a mapped attribute key is 100characters, and the key may only contain the characters[a-z_0-9].You can reference these attributes in IAM policies to define fine-grained accessfor a workload to Google Cloud resources. For example:
google.subject:principal://iam.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workloadIdentityPools/{pool}/subject/{value}
google.groups:principalSet://iam.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workloadIdentityPools/{pool}/group/{value}
attribute.{custom_attribute}:principalSet://iam.googleapis.com/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/workloadIdentityPools/{pool}/attribute.{custom_attribute}/{value}
Each value must be aCommonExpression Language function that maps an identity provider credential tothe normalized attribute specified by the corresponding map key.
You can use the
assertionkeyword in the expression to access aJSON representation of the authentication credential issued by the provider.The maximum length of an attribute mapping expression is 2048 characters. Whenevaluated, the total size of all mapped attributes must not exceed 8KB.
For AWS providers, the following rules apply:
- If no attribute mapping is defined, the following default mapping applies:
{"google.subject":"assertion.arn","attribute.aws_role":"assertion.arn.contains('assumed-role')"" ? assertion.arn.extract('{account_arn}assumed-role/')"" + 'assumed-role/'"" + assertion.arn.extract('assumed-role/{role_name}/')"" : assertion.arn",}
- If any custom attribute mappings are defined, they must include a mapping to the
google.subjectattribute.
- Custom attribute mappings must be defined, and must include a mapping to the
google.subjectattribute. For example, the following maps thesubclaim of the incoming credential to thesubjectattribute on a Google token.
{"google.subject":"assertion.sub"}
--issuer-uri=ISSUER_URI- The OIDC issuer URL.
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
--allowed-audiences=[ALLOWED_AUDIENCES,…]- Acceptable values for the
audfield (audience) in the OIDC token.Token exchange requests are rejected if the token audience does not match one ofthe configured values. Each audience may be at most 256 characters. A maximum of10 audiences may be configured.If this list is empty, the OIDC token audience must be equal to the fullcanonical resource name of the workload identity pool provider, with or withoutthe HTTPS prefix. For example:
//iam.googleapis.com/projects/<project-number>/locations/<location>/workloadIdentityPools/<pool-id>/providers/<provider-id>https://iam.googleapis.com/projects/<project-number>/locations/<location>/workloadIdentityPools/<pool-id>/providers/<provider-id>
--attribute-condition=ATTRIBUTE_CONDITION- A Common ExpressionLanguage expression, in plain text, to restrict what otherwise validauthentication credentials issued by the provider should not be accepted.
The expression must output a boolean representing whether to allow thefederation.
The following keywords may be referenced in the expressions:
assertion: JSON representing the authentication credential issuedby the provider.google: The Google attributes mapped from the assertion in theattribute_mappings.attribute: The custom attributes mapped from the assertion in theattribute_mappings.
The maximum length of the attribute condition expression is 4096 characters. Ifunspecified, all valid authentication credential are accepted.
The following example shows how to only allow credentials with a mapped
google.groupsvalue ofadmins:"'admins' in google.groups" --description=DESCRIPTION- A description for the provider. Cannot exceed 256 characters.
--disabled- Whether the provider is disabled. You cannot use a disabled provider to exchangetokens. However, existing tokens still grant access.
--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME- A display name for the provider. Cannot exceed 32 characters.
--jwk-json-path=PATH_TO_FILE- Optional file containing jwk public keys. The file format must followjwk specifications.Example file format:
{"keys":[{"kty":"RSA/EC","alg":"<algorithm>","use":"sig","kid":"<key-id>","n":"","e":"","x":"","y":"","crv":""}]}.Useafullorrelativepathtoalocalfilecontainingthevalueofjwk_json_path.
