Include in headerv1.0+
Allows you to include the JWT in a request to Kong Gateway in the Authorization header.
The JWT plugin needs a Consumer with a credential attached before it can authenticate requests.
The following creates the Consumer and attaches the credential in one document:
_format_version: "3.0"
consumers:
- username: alex
jwt_secrets:
- key: hello_world
algorithm: HS256
secret: hello_world_secretThe JWT plugin needs a Consumer with a credential attached before it can authenticate requests.
Create the Consumer:
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers/ \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '
{
"username": "alex"
}
'Attach the jwt credential:
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers/alex/jwt \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '
{
"key": "hello_world",
"algorithm": "HS256",
"secret": "hello_world_secret"
}
'The JWT plugin needs a Consumer with a credential attached before it can authenticate requests.
Create the Consumer:
curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/consumers/ \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \

The JWT plugin needs a Consumer with a credential attached before it can authenticate requests.
Create a Secret labeled with the jwt credential type:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: alex-jwt
namespace: kong
labels:
konghq.com/credential: jwt
stringData:
key: hello_world
algorithm: HS256
secret: hello_world_secretCreate the KongConsumer and reference the Secret:
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongConsumer
metadata:
name: alex
namespace: kong
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: kong
username: alex
credentials:
- alex-jwtThe JWT plugin needs a Consumer with a credential attached before it can authenticate requests.
Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create the Consumer and the credential:
resource "konnect_gateway_consumer" "my_consumer" {
username = "alex"
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
}
resource "konnect_gateway_jwt" "my_jwt" {
consumer_id = konnect_gateway_consumer.my_consumer.id
key = "hello_world"
algorithm = "HS256"
secret = "hello_world_secret"
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
