🔶 High Risk Operations — Some operations on this resource have high danger level. Destructive operations may require confirmation.

name - Required String
Name of the Authentication. Must be unique within the namespace

namespace - Required String
Namespace where the Authentication will be created

annotations - Optional Map
Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata

description - Optional String
Human readable description for the object

disable - Optional Bool
A value of true will administratively disable the object

labels - Optional Map
Labels is a user defined key value map that can be attached to resources for organization and filtering

cookie_params - Optional Block
Specifies different cookie related config parameters for authentication
See Cookie Params below for details.

oidc_auth - Optional Block
OIDCAuthType
See OIDC Auth below for details.

timeouts - Optional Block
See Timeouts below for details.

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

id - Optional String
Unique identifier for the resource


A cookie_params block supports the following:

auth_hmac - Optional Block
HMAC primary and secondary keys to be used for hashing the Cookie. Each key also have an associated expiry timestamp, beyond which key is invalid
See Auth HMAC below.

cookie_expiry - Optional Number
Specifies in seconds max duration of the allocated cookie. This maps to “Max-Age” attribute in the session cookie. This will act as an expiry duration on the client-side after which client will not be setting the cookie as part of the request

cookie_refresh_interval - Optional Number
Specifies in seconds refresh interval for session cookie. This is used to keep the active user active and reduce RE-login. When an incoming cookie’s session expiry is still valid, and time to expire falls behind this interval, RE-issue a cookie with new expiry and with the same original session

kms_key_hmac - Optional Block
Configuration parameter for kms key HMAC

session_expiry - Optional Number
Specifies in seconds max lifetime of an authenticated session after which the user will be forced to login again. Default session expiry is 86400 seconds(24 hours)

An auth_hmac block (within cookie_params) supports the following:

prim_key - Optional Block
SecretType is used in an object to indicate a sensitive/confidential field
See Prim Key below.

prim_key_expiry - Optional String
Primary HMAC Key Expiry time

sec_key - Optional Block
SecretType is used in an object to indicate a sensitive/confidential field
See Sec Key below.

sec_key_expiry - Optional String
Secondary HMAC Key Expiry time

A prim_key block (within cookie_params.auth_hmac) supports the following:

blindfold_secret_info - Optional Block
BlindfoldSecretInfoType specifies information about the Secret managed by F5XC Secret Management
See Blindfold Secret Info below.

clear_secret_info - Optional Block
ClearSecretInfoType specifies information about the Secret that is not encrypted
See Clear Secret Info below.

An oidc_auth block supports the following:

client_secret - Optional Block
SecretType is used in an object to indicate a sensitive/confidential field
See Client Secret below.

oidc_auth_params - Optional Block
Configuration parameter for OIDC auth params
See OIDC Auth Params below.

oidc_client_id - Optional String
Client ID used while sending the Authorization Request to OIDC server

oidc_well_known_config_url - Optional String
An OIDC well-known configuration URL that will be used to fetch authentication related endpoints

A client_secret block (within oidc_auth) supports the following:

blindfold_secret_info - Optional Block
BlindfoldSecretInfoType specifies information about the Secret managed by F5XC Secret Management
See Blindfold Secret Info below.

clear_secret_info - Optional Block
ClearSecretInfoType specifies information about the Secret that is not encrypted
See Clear Secret Info below.

OIDC Auth Client Secret Blindfold Secret Info

Section titled “OIDC Auth Client Secret Blindfold Secret Info”

A blindfold_secret_info block (within oidc_auth.client_secret) supports the following:

decryption_provider - Optional String
Name of the Secret Management Access object that contains information about the backend Secret Management service

location - Optional String
Location is the uri_ref. It could be in URL format for string:/// Or it could be a path if the store provider is an HTTP/HTTPS location

store_provider - Optional String
Name of the Secret Management Access object that contains information about the store to GET encrypted bytes This field needs to be provided only if the URL scheme is not string:///

A clear_secret_info block (within oidc_auth.client_secret) supports the following:

provider_ref - Optional String
Name of the Secret Management Access object that contains information about the store to GET encrypted bytes This field needs to be provided only if the URL scheme is not string:///
