kcp-front-proxy is a reverse proxy that accepts client certificates and forwards Common Name and Organizations to backend API servers in HTTP headers. The proxy terminates TLS and communicates with API servers via mTLS. Traffic is routed based on paths. Usage: kcp-front-proxy [flags] Secure-serving flags: --bind-address ip The IP address on which to listen for the --secure-port port. The associated interface(s) must be reachable by the rest of the cluster, and by CLI/web clients. If blank or an unspecified address (0.0.0.0 or ::), all interfaces and IP address families will be used. (default 0.0.0.0) --cert-dir string The directory where the TLS certs are located. If --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are provided, this flag will be ignored. --disable-http2-serving If true, HTTP2 serving will be disabled [default=false] --http2-max-streams-per-connection int The limit that the server gives to clients for the maximum number of streams in an HTTP/2 connection. Zero means to use golang's default. --permit-address-sharing If true, SO_REUSEADDR will be used when binding the port. This allows binding to wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, and it avoids waiting for the kernel to release sockets in TIME_WAIT state. [default=false] --permit-port-sharing If true, SO_REUSEPORT will be used when binding the port, which allows more than one instance to bind on the same address and port. [default=false] --secure-port int The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. If 0, don't serve HTTPS at all. (default 443) --tls-cert-file string File containing the default x509 Certificate for HTTPS. (CA cert, if any, concatenated after server cert). If HTTPS serving is enabled, and --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are not provided, a self-signed certificate and key are generated for the public address and saved to the directory specified by --cert-dir. --tls-cipher-suites strings Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the server. If omitted, the default Go cipher suites will be used. Preferred values: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. Insecure values: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA. --tls-min-version string Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13 --tls-private-key-file string File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file. --tls-sni-cert-key namedCertKey A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suffixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted. Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain patterns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs, use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples: "example.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com". (default []) Authentication flags: --api-audiences strings Identifiers of the API. The service account token authenticator will validate that tokens used against the API are bound to at least one of these audiences. If the --service-account-issuer flag is configured and this flag is not, this field defaults to a single element list containing the issuer URL. --authentication-config string File with Authentication Configuration to configure the JWT Token authenticator or the anonymous authenticator. Requires the StructuredAuthenticationConfiguration feature gate. Also requires the feature gate AnonymousAuthConfigurableEndpoints to configure the anonymous authenticator in the config file. This flag is mutually exclusive with the --oidc-* flags if the file configures the JWT Token authenticator. This flag is mutually exclusive with --anonymous-auth if the file configures the Anonymous authenticator. --authentication-drop-groups strings Groups that are not passed on to the shard. Empty matches none. "prefix*" matches all beginning with the given prefix. Dropping trumps over passing on. (default [system:masters,system:kcp:logical-cluster-admin]) --authentication-pass-on-groups strings Groups that are passed on to the shard. Empty matches all. "prefix*" matches all beginning with the given prefix. Dropping trumps over passing on. --authentication-token-webhook-cache-ttl duration The duration to cache responses from the webhook token authenticator. (default 2m0s) --authentication-token-webhook-config-file string File with webhook configuration for token authentication in kubeconfig format. The API server will query the remote service to determine authentication for bearer tokens. --authentication-token-webhook-version string The API version of the authentication.k8s.io TokenReview to send to and expect from the webhook. (default "v1beta1") --client-ca-file string If set, any request presenting a client certificate signed by one of the authorities in the client-ca-file is authenticated with an identity corresponding to the CommonName of the client certificate. --oidc-ca-file string If set, the OpenID server's certificate will be verified by one of the authorities in the oidc-ca-file, otherwise the host's root CA set will be used. --oidc-client-id string The client ID for the OpenID Connect client, must be set if oidc-issuer-url is set. --oidc-groups-claim string If provided, the name of a custom OpenID Connect claim for specifying user groups. The claim value is expected to be a string or array of strings. This flag is experimental, please see the authentication documentation for further details. --oidc-groups-prefix string If provided, all groups will be prefixed with this value to prevent conflicts with other authentication strategies. --oidc-issuer-url string The URL of the OpenID issuer, only HTTPS scheme will be accepted. If set, it will be used to verify the OIDC JSON Web Token (JWT). --oidc-required-claim mapStringString A key=value pair that describes a required claim in the ID Token. If set, the claim is verified to be present in the ID Token with a matching value. Repeat this flag to specify multiple claims. --oidc-signing-algs strings Comma-separated list of allowed JOSE asymmetric signing algorithms. JWTs with a supported 'alg' header values are: RS256, RS384, RS512, ES256, ES384, ES512, PS256, PS384, PS512. Values are defined by RFC 7518 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518#section-3.1. (default [RS256]) --oidc-username-claim string The OpenID claim to use as the user name. Note that claims other than the default ('sub') is not guaranteed to be unique and immutable. This flag is experimental, please see the authentication documentation for further details. (default "sub") --oidc-username-prefix string If provided, all usernames will be prefixed with this value. If not provided, username claims other than 'email' are prefixed by the issuer URL to avoid clashes. To skip any prefixing, provide the value '-'. --requestheader-allowed-names strings List of client certificate common names to allow to provide usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers. If empty, any client certificate validated by the authorities in --requestheader-client-ca-file is allowed. --requestheader-client-ca-file string Root certificate bundle to use to verify client certificates on incoming requests before trusting usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers. WARNING: generally do not depend on authorization being already done for incoming requests. --requestheader-extra-headers-prefix strings List of request header prefixes to inspect. X-Remote-Extra- is suggested. --requestheader-group-headers strings List of request headers to inspect for groups. X-Remote-Group is suggested. --requestheader-uid-headers strings List of request headers to inspect for UIDs. X-Remote-Uid is suggested. Requires the RemoteRequestHeaderUID feature to be enabled. --requestheader-username-headers strings List of request headers to inspect for usernames. X-Remote-User is common. --service-account-extend-token-expiration Turns on projected service account expiration extension during token generation, which helps safe transition from legacy token to bound service account token feature. If this flag is enabled, admission injected tokens would be extended up to 1 year to prevent unexpected failure during transition, ignoring value of service-account-max-token-expiration. (default true) --service-account-issuer stringArray Identifier of the service account token issuer. The issuer will assert this identifier in "iss" claim of issued tokens. This value is a string or URI. If this option is not a valid URI per the OpenID Discovery 1.0 spec, the ServiceAccountIssuerDiscovery feature will remain disabled, even if the feature gate is set to true. It is highly recommended that this value comply with the OpenID spec: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html. In practice, this means that service-account-issuer must be an https URL. It is also highly recommended that this URL be capable of serving OpenID discovery documents at {service-account-issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration. When this flag is specified multiple times, the first is used to generate tokens and all are used to determine which issuers are accepted. (default [https://kcp.default.svc]) --service-account-jwks-uri string Overrides the URI for the JSON Web Key Set in the discovery doc served at /.well-known/openid-configuration. This flag is useful if the discovery docand key set are served to relying parties from a URL other than the API server's external (as auto-detected or overridden with external-hostname). --service-account-key-file stringArray File containing PEM-encoded x509 RSA or ECDSA private or public keys, used to verify ServiceAccount tokens. The specified file can contain multiple keys, and the flag can be specified multiple times with different files. If unspecified, --tls-private-key-file is used. Must be specified when --service-account-signing-key-file is provided --service-account-lookup If true, validate ServiceAccount tokens exist in etcd as part of authentication. (default true) --service-account-max-token-expiration duration The maximum validity duration of a token created by the service account token issuer. If an otherwise valid TokenRequest with a validity duration larger than this value is requested, a token will be issued with a validity duration of this value. --token-auth-file string If set, the file that will be used to secure the secure port of the API server via token authentication. Proxy flags: --cors-allowed-origins strings List of allowed origins for CORS, comma separated. An allowed origin can be a regular expression to support subdomain matching. If this list is empty CORS will not be enabled. --mapping-file string Config file mapping paths to backends --profiler-address string [Address]:port to bind the profiler to --root-directory string Root directory. (default ".kcp") --root-kubeconfig string The path to the kubeconfig of the root shard. --shards-kubeconfig string The path to the kubeconfig used for communication with all shards. The server name if provided is replaced with a shard's hostname. Logging flags: --log-flush-frequency duration Maximum number of seconds between log flushes (default 5s) --log-json-info-buffer-size quantity [Alpha] In JSON format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this. --log-json-split-stream [Alpha] In JSON format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this. --log-text-info-buffer-size quantity [Alpha] In text format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this. --log-text-split-stream [Alpha] In text format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this. --logging-format string Sets the log format. Permitted formats: "json" (gated by LoggingBetaOptions), "text". (default "text") -v, --v Level number for the log level verbosity (default 2) --vmodule pattern=N,... comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format) KCP flags: --feature-gates mapStringBool A set of key=value pairs that describe feature gates for alpha/experimental features. Options are: WorkspaceMounts CacheAPIs EnableDeprecatedAPIExportVirtualWorkspacesUrls WorkspaceAuthentication APIResponseCompression OpenAPIEnums LoggingBetaOptions ContextualLogging (default APIResponseCompression=true,CacheAPIs=false,ContextualLogging=true,EnableDeprecatedAPIExportVirtualWorkspacesUrls=false,LoggingBetaOptions=true,OpenAPIEnums=true,WorkspaceAuthentication=false,WorkspaceMounts=false) Global flags: -h, --help help for kcp-front-proxy
