Add auth-proxy and enable on IntegrationSink by creydr · Pull Request #8708 · knative/eventing

creydr · 2025-09-09T13:20:22Z

Most/all of the IntegrationSink components are not written in Golang and thus can use our libs for AuthN and AuthZ checks. Therefor the IntegrationSink does not support AuthN and AuthZ currently.
This PR adds an auth-proxy, which can be used as a sidecar container and does the Auth checks. Therefor we can get AuthN/AuthZ support on the IntegrationSink.

This PR contains the following main parts:

Adds the auth-proxy (788cc90)
Updates the integration sink controller to include the auth-proxy as a sidecar to the integrationsink deployments and takes care about the needed RBAC (auth-proxy needs permissions to read the features & logging CM from eventing namespace) (c5f6679)
Adding AuthN & AuthZ e2e tests for the IntegrationSink (9f0ff40)

Hint:
The auth-proxy requires permissions to read the features and logging configmaps from the knative-eventing namespace. Therefor each pod running an IntegrationSink needs to have a RoleBinding for the knative-eventing-auth-proxy role in the knative-eventing namespace. Instead of adding a RoleBinding for each IntegrationSink, we aggregate it together in the eventing-auth-proxy RoleBinding to not have x similar RoleBindings.

maybe we add otel instrumentation to these servers for a better observability picture into this sidecar?

IMO, this should be a follow up PR on top of this

yes, let's do OTel in a separate one

@creydr could you TAL at the linter errors?

@creydr I may be missing something but since we aren't copying the request here would this have the same problem for structured events that #8710 is trying to avoid?

The authVerifier.Verify...() method, internally copies the request to avoid the problem.
In #8710 we had the issue, that the request was accessed before it was passed to the authVerifier already. (At least I think so)

But I'll rebase this PR after #8710 is in, to get the authz tests updated, which check for this issue now

I htink we need like this for event transformer as well

but lets do on separate pr

Yes. I'd do this as a separate PR. Added #8715 to have an issue for it

@creydr @matzew should we backport this one at all?

@creydr @matzew should we backport this one at all?

I wouldn't at this point and give it a bit time to settle (and also integrate it into EventTransform). But when users ask for it, we can do it of course.
