simple-iap-proxy

simple Google IAP proxy

This is a simple IAP HTTP/S proxy. It will intercept the required HTTPS request and inject the IAP proxy authorization header.

simple-iap-proxy client

The client will start a real HTTP/S proxy and forward any requests for ip addresses of GKE cluster master endpoints or specified hostnames to the IAP proxy. Adds the required ID token as the Proxy-Authorization header in the request. Generates self-signed certificates for the targeted hosts on the fly.

Usage:
simple-iap-proxy client [flags]

Flags:
  -t, --target-url string         to forward requests to
  -a, --iap-audience string       of the IAP application
  -s, --service-account string    to impersonate
  -u, --use-default-credentials   use default credentials instead of gcloud configuration
  -C, --configuration string      name of gcloud configuration to use for credentials
  -G, --to-gke                    proxy to GKE clusters in the project
  -H, --to-host strings           proxy to these hosts, specified as regular expression
      --http-protocol             proxy listens using HTTP instead of HTTPS

Global Flags:
  -k, --key-file string           key file for serving https
  -c, --certificate-file string   certificate of the server
  -p, --project string            google project id to use
  -P, --port int                  port to listen on (default 8080)
  -d, --debug                     provide debug information

simple-iap-proxy gke-server

Reads the Host header of the http requests and if it matches the ip address of a GKE cluster master endpoint, forwards the request to it. Reject requests for any other endpoint.

Usage:
simple-iap-proxy gke-server

Global Flags:
  -k, --key-file string           key file for serving https
  -c, --certificate-file string   certificate of the server
  -P, --port int                  port to listen on (default 8080)
  -p, --project string            google project id to use
  -d, --debug                     provide debug information

simple-iap-proxy generate-certificate

generates a private key and self-signed certificate which can be used to serve over HTTPS.

Usage:
simple-iap-proxy generate-certificate [flags]

Flags:
--dns-name string   on the certificate (default "localhost")

Global Flags:
  -k, --key-file string           key file for serving https
  -c, --certificate-file string   certificate of the server

examples

There are two examples you can try out:

• IAP proxy to GKE clusters
• IAP Proxy to a normal service

With the GKE cluster setup, you can use the cloudbuild.yaml to connect from Google cloudbuild.

installing the IAP proxy

Install the simple-iap-proxy by downloading the latest release from github.com/binxio/simple-iap-proxy.

Limitations

• The client proxy only supports a single IAP proxy endpoint url as a target.

Caveats

• The IAP protocol does not support websockets as Authorization header cannot be passed in. Commands which rely on websockets will fail (ie kubectl exec).
• The proxy is beta software, so I am happy to hear your feedback!
