# K8s Dashboard SSO via Authentik (oauth2-proxy) — Implementation Plan

> **⚠️ AS-BUILT DIVERGED (2026-06-04).** Tasks 2–3 (oauth2-proxy + `k8s-dashboard`
> Authentik app) shipped as written, but the audience strategy here is WRONG: the
> apiserver matches the token **issuer** exactly, and a separate app has a
> different per-slug issuer — so the dual-`aud` trick can't avoid an apiserver
> change. The implementation pivoted to **Option B**: a structured multi-issuer
> `AuthenticationConfiguration` on the apiserver (`stacks/rbac`). See the
> **ADDENDUM (§12)** in `2026-06-04-k8s-dashboard-sso-design.md` for the as-built.

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Let namespace-owner users (e.g. gheorghe / `vabbit81`) open `https://k8s.viktorbarzin.me`, log in once with Authentik, and manage their own namespace in the Kubernetes Dashboard under their existing per-user RBAC.

**Architecture:** Deploy oauth2-proxy in the `kubernetes-dashboard` namespace in front of the existing `kong-proxy`. It runs the Authentik OIDC code-flow and injects the user's id_token as a `Bearer` header so the apiserver applies the per-user RBAC that already exists. A new confidential Authentik OIDC client (`k8s-dashboard`) plus a custom scope mapping emits `aud = ["kubernetes","k8s-dashboard"]`, satisfying both the apiserver and oauth2-proxy without touching the existing CLI (`kubernetes` public client). The change is additive; the only mutation to existing state is one ingress repoint, instantly revertible.

**Tech Stack:** Terraform/Terragrunt, Authentik (`goauthentik/authentik` TF provider), oauth2-proxy v7, External Secrets Operator, Vault KV, Kubernetes Dashboard v7 (Kong).

**Design doc:** `docs/plans/2026-06-04-k8s-dashboard-sso-design.md`

## Conventions for every apply step

- **Auth first:** `vault login -method=oidc` (humans) before any `scripts/tg`.
- **Presence claim before each apply** (CLAUDE.md mandatory rule):
  `~/code/scripts/presence claim service:k8s-dashboard --purpose "dashboard SSO via oauth2-proxy"`
  and `~/code/scripts/presence claim stack:k8s-dashboard --purpose "..."`. Release on completion.
- **Apply wrapper:** run from inside the stack dir: `cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg <plan|apply>`. `scripts/tg` handles PG-backend creds and runs the ingress-auth comment guard.
- **Never** `kubectl apply/edit` as final state — Terraform only.

---

## File Structure

| File | Action | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| `stacks/k8s-dashboard/authentik.tf` | **Create** | `provider "authentik"` block + OIDC provider, custom audience scope mapping, application, group-restriction policy + binding |
| `stacks/k8s-dashboard/oauth2_proxy.tf` | **Create** | ExternalSecret → `oauth2-proxy` Secret, oauth2-proxy Deployment + Service |
| `stacks/k8s-dashboard/main.tf` | **Modify** | Repoint the dashboard ingress from `kong-proxy` → `oauth2-proxy`, flip `auth` to `none` |
| `docs/architecture/authentication.md` | **Modify** | Document the new OIDC app + dashboard SSO flow |
| `docs/architecture/multi-tenancy.md` | **Modify** | Document dashboard access path for namespace-owners |
| `.claude/reference/authentik-state.md` | **Modify** | Record the new app/provider/scope-mapping |
| `.claude/reference/service-catalog.md` | **Modify** | Update k8s-dashboard auth posture |

The `authentik` provider is already in every stack's generated `required_providers` (root `terragrunt.hcl` → `generate "k8s_providers"`). We only add the `provider "authentik"` config block (reads the API token from Vault `secret/authentik → tf_api_token`).

## Task 1: Vault secret for oauth2-proxy + Authentik client

**Files:** none (Vault KV state).

- [ ] **Step 1: Authenticate to Vault**

Run:
```bash
vault login -method=oidc
```
Expected: `Success! You are now authenticated.`

- [ ] **Step 2: Generate the three secret values**

Run:
```bash
CLIENT_ID="k8s-dashboard"
CLIENT_SECRET="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
COOKIE_SECRET="$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '\n')"   # 32 bytes, base64 — required length for AES cookie
echo "client_id=$CLIENT_ID"; echo "client_secret set"; echo "cookie_secret set"
```
Expected: prints `client_id=k8s-dashboard` and confirmations. `COOKIE_SECRET` must decode to exactly 16/24/32 bytes (32 base64 chars from `rand -base64 32` → 32 bytes ✓).

- [ ] **Step 3: Write the secret to Vault**

Run:
```bash
VAULT_ADDR=https://vault.viktorbarzin.me vault kv put secret/k8s-dashboard \
  oauth2_proxy_client_id="$CLIENT_ID" \
  oauth2_proxy_client_secret="$CLIENT_SECRET" \
  oauth2_proxy_cookie_secret="$COOKIE_SECRET"
```
Expected: `Success! Data written to: secret/data/k8s-dashboard`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify**

Run:
```bash
VAULT_ADDR=https://vault.viktorbarzin.me vault kv get -field=oauth2_proxy_client_id secret/k8s-dashboard
```
Expected: `k8s-dashboard`.

No commit (Vault state, not git).

## Task 2: Authentik OIDC application (additive — no user impact)

**Files:**

- [ ] **Step 2: Plan**

Run: `cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg plan`

- [ ] **Step 3: Claim presence, then apply**

Run:
```bash
~/code/scripts/presence claim stack:k8s-dashboard --purpose "add Authentik OIDC app for dashboard SSO"
cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg apply --non-interactive
```
Expected: 5 resources added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify the application exists in Authentik**

Run:
```bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $(VAULT_ADDR=https://vault.viktorbarzin.me vault kv get -field=tf_api_token secret/authentik)" \
  "https://authentik.viktorbarzin.me/api/v3/core/applications/?slug=k8s-dashboard" | jq '.results[].slug'

- [ ] **Step 2: First-apply the ExternalSecret only (plan-time-secret gotcha)**

Run:
```bash
cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg apply --non-interactive \
  -target=kubernetes_manifest.oauth2_proxy_externalsecret
```
Expected: 1 resource added.

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the K8s Secret materialized**

Run:
```bash
kubectl get secret oauth2-proxy -n kubernetes-dashboard -o jsonpath='{.data.client-id}' | base64 -d
```
Expected: `k8s-dashboard`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Full apply (deployment + service)**

Run: `cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg apply --non-interactive`
Expected: `kubernetes_deployment.oauth2_proxy` + `kubernetes_service.oauth2_proxy` added, 0 changed.

- [ ] **Step 5: Verify oauth2-proxy is healthy** (background watch, no `sleep`)

Run:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n kubernetes-dashboard -l app=oauth2-proxy -w
```
Expected: 2/2 pods `Running`, readiness passing. Then check logs for clean OIDC discovery:
```bash
kubectl logs -n kubernetes-dashboard -l app=oauth2-proxy --tail=30
```
Expected: `OAuthProxy configured for OpenID Connect Client ID: k8s-dashboard` and no discovery errors. (The ingress still points at kong-proxy; nothing user-facing changed yet.)

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**

```bash
git add stacks/k8s-dashboard/oauth2_proxy.tf
git commit -m "feat(k8s-dashboard): deploy oauth2-proxy (not yet wired to ingress)"
git push origin master
```

## Task 4: Cutover — repoint ingress to oauth2-proxy

This is the only step that changes existing behavior. Rollback = revert this commit.

**Files:**
- Modify: `stacks/k8s-dashboard/main.tf` (the `module "ingress"` block, currently around `main.tf:92-111`)

- [ ] **Step 1: Edit the ingress module block**

Replace the existing `module "ingress"` block in `stacks/k8s-dashboard/main.tf` with:

```hcl
module "ingress" {
  source       = "../../modules/kubernetes/ingress_factory"
  namespace    = kubernetes_namespace.k8s-dashboard.metadata[0].name
  name         = "kubernetes-dashboard"
  service_name = "oauth2-proxy"
  host         = "k8s"
  dns_type     = "proxied"
  tls_secret_name = var.tls_secret_name
  # auth = "none": oauth2-proxy is the gate — it runs the Authentik OIDC
  # code-flow and injects the user's id_token as Bearer for dashboard->apiserver
  # auth. A group policy on the Authentik app restricts access to the
  # kubernetes-* RBAC groups. See docs/plans/2026-06-04-k8s-dashboard-sso-design.md.
  auth             = "none"
  backend_protocol = "HTTP"
  port             = 4180
  extra_annotations = {
    "gethomepage.dev/enabled"      = "true"
    "gethomepage.dev/name"         = "Kubernetes Dashboard"
    "gethomepage.dev/description"  = "Cluster dashboard"
    "gethomepage.dev/icon"         = "kubernetes-dashboard.png"
    "gethomepage.dev/group"        = "Core Platform"
    "gethomepage.dev/pod-selector" = ""
  }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Plan (the comment guard runs here)**

Run: `cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg plan`
Expected: the ingress `Service`/middleware updates in place (kong-proxy→oauth2-proxy, drops the Authentik forward-auth middleware). `scripts/check-ingress-auth-comments.py` passes (the `# auth = "none": …` comment is present). No resource destroyed/recreated beyond the ingress objects.

- [ ] **Step 3: Apply the cutover**

Run: `cd stacks/k8s-dashboard && ../../scripts/tg apply --non-interactive`
Expected: ingress resources updated; apply succeeds.

- [ ] **Step 4: VERIFY THE AUDIENCE (blocking gate)**

Log in once in a browser to `https://k8s.viktorbarzin.me` as `viktor`. Capture the
id_token the dashboard sends to the apiserver: open browser devtools → Network →
click any `/api/v1/...` request → Request Headers → copy the value of
`Authorization` (the part after `Bearer `). Decode its claims:
```bash
JWT='<paste-token-here>'
echo "$JWT" | cut -d. -f2 | tr '_-' '/+' | base64 -d 2>/dev/null | jq '{aud, email, groups}'
```
Expected: `aud` contains **both** `"kubernetes"` and `"k8s-dashboard"`, `email` is set
(e.g. `viktor@viktorbarzin.me`), and `groups` is a non-empty list.

**If `aud` does NOT contain `kubernetes`** → the scope-mapping audience override didn't
take. STOP, revert (Step 7 rollback) so the dashboard returns to forward-auth, then
apply the §5 design fallback (reuse the `kubernetes` client as confidential +
add `--oidc-client-secret` to the kubelogin setup script). Do not leave the cutover
live with a broken audience — users would get apiserver 401s.

- [ ] **Step 5: VERIFY end-to-end RBAC** (Playwright MCP; screenshot on failure)

  - As **viktor** (admin): dashboard lists all namespaces; can view/edit any Deployment. ✅
  - As **gheorghe** (`vabbit81`): switch to namespace `vabbit81` → can view + edit Deployments, read pod logs; attempting to create a resource in another namespace returns `Forbidden`. ✅
  - Unauthenticated/other user: Authentik denies at the group policy (no dashboard session issued). ✅

- [ ] **Step 6: VERIFY CLI regression (must still work, untouched)**

Run (as viktor, existing kubeconfig):
```bash
kubectl --context=<oidc-context> get nodes
```
Expected: succeeds exactly as before (the public `kubernetes` client + kubelogin path is unchanged).

- [ ] **Step 7: Commit** (rollback = `git revert` this commit + re-apply)

```bash
git add stacks/k8s-dashboard/main.tf
git commit -m "feat(k8s-dashboard): cut over ingress to oauth2-proxy SSO

Dashboard now authenticates users via Authentik (oauth2-proxy) and applies
each user's own RBAC. Rollback: revert this commit + scripts/tg apply."
git push origin master
```

- [ ] **Step 8: Release presence claims**

```bash
~/code/scripts/presence release stack:k8s-dashboard
~/code/scripts/presence release service:k8s-dashboard
```

## Task 5: Documentation (same logical change set)

**Files:**
- Modify: `docs/architecture/authentication.md`
- Modify: `docs/architecture/multi-tenancy.md`
- Modify: `.claude/reference/authentik-state.md`
- Modify: `.claude/reference/service-catalog.md`

- [ ] **Step 1: `docs/architecture/authentication.md`**

  - In the "OIDC Applications" table, add a row: `Kubernetes Dashboard | OIDC (confidential, via oauth2-proxy) | Dashboard SSO with per-user RBAC`.
  - Add a subsection "Kubernetes Dashboard SSO" describing the oauth2-proxy → kong-proxy → apiserver flow, the dual-audience (`kubernetes` + `k8s-dashboard`) scope mapping, and the group-restriction policy. Note the dashboard ingress is `auth = "none"` because oauth2-proxy is the gate (not a regression of the forward-auth default).

- [ ] **Step 2: `docs/architecture/multi-tenancy.md`**

  - In "User Setup (Self-Service)", add that namespace-owners can also use the **web dashboard** at `k8s.viktorbarzin.me` (Authentik SSO → their namespace RBAC), in addition to kubectl.

- [ ] **Step 3: `.claude/reference/authentik-state.md`**

  - Record the new application `Kubernetes Dashboard` (slug `k8s-dashboard`), confidential provider `k8s-dashboard`, custom scope mapping `k8s-dashboard audience` (scope `k8s-dashboard-audience`, sets dual `aud`), and the group-access policy/binding. Note these are TF-managed in `stacks/k8s-dashboard/authentik.tf`.

- [ ] **Step 4: `.claude/reference/service-catalog.md`**

  - Update the k8s-dashboard entry: auth posture is now oauth2-proxy OIDC SSO (was Authentik forward-auth + static cluster-admin SA), per-user RBAC.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add docs/architecture/authentication.md docs/architecture/multi-tenancy.md \
  .claude/reference/authentik-state.md .claude/reference/service-catalog.md
git commit -m "docs(k8s-dashboard): document dashboard SSO + per-user RBAC [ci skip]"
git push origin master
```

## Self-Review notes (coverage vs. design)

- Design §4.1 Authentik app → Task 2. §4.2 Vault+ESO → Task 1 + Task 3 Step 1-3. §4.3 oauth2-proxy → Task 3. §4.4 ingress → Task 4.
- Design §5 audience strategy + apply-time verification + fallback → Task 4 Step 4 (blocking gate).
- Design §7 testing → Task 4 Steps 5-6. §8 rollback → Task 4 Step 7. §10 docs → Task 5.
- Out-of-scope (design §9): static cluster-admin SA intentionally NOT touched — no task, by design.

## Known integration risks (watch during Task 4)

- **Dashboard v7 ignoring a pre-set Authorization header** (kubernetes/dashboard #5105, #1213): if the dashboard still shows its token-login page after SSO, confirm `--pass-authorization-header=true` and that kong forwards the header; the dashboard `api` component uses the bearer for apiserver calls. Validate in Task 4 Step 5.
- **Scope mapping audience override** (primary risk): mitigated by the blocking decode in Task 4 Step 4 + the documented fallback.
