# JWT provider configuration reference
|
||
|
||
This page provides reference information for the JWT provider configuration entry, which configures Consul to use a JSON Web Token (JWT) and JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) in order to add JWT validation to proxies in the service mesh. Refer to [Use JWT authorization with service intentions](/consul/docs/connect/intentions/jwt-authorization) for more information.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration model
|
||
|
||
The following list outlines field hierarchy, language-specific data types, and requirements in a JWT provider configuration entry. Click on a property name to view additional details, including default values.

## Specification
|
||
|
||
This section provides details about the fields you can configure in the JWT provider configuration entry.
|
||
|
||
<Tabs>
|
||
|
||
<Tab heading="HCL" group="hcl">
|
||
|
||
### `Kind`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the type of configuration entry to implement.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- This field is required.
|
||
- Data type: String value that must be set to `jwt-provider`.
|
||
|
||
### `Name`
|
||
|
||
Specifies a name for the configuration entry. We recommend naming the configuration file after the JWT provider used in the configuration. Refer to the [Okta JWT Provider example](#okta-jwt-provider) for an example configuration.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- This field is required.
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `Issuer`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the provider that issued the JWT. This value must match the token’s `iss` (issuer) claim.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet`
|
||
|
||
Defines a JSON Web Key Set. This field can be configured for a local file, or it can specify instructions to fetch a key set from a remote server. You cannot specify [`JSONWebKeySet{}.Local`](#jsonwebkeyset-local) and [`JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote) in the same map.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: Map that can contain one of the following parameters:
|
||
|
||
- [`Local`](#jsonwebkeyset-local)
|
||
- [`Remote`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote)
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Local`
|
||
|
||
Specifies a local source for the JSON Web Key Set. You can specify the source as a string in the configuration entry or you can include a local filename that contains the set. You cannot specify both `JWKS` and `Filename` in the same map.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: Map that can contain one of the following parameters:
|
||
|
||
- [`JWKS`](#jsonwebkeyset-local-jwks)
|
||
- [`Filename`](#jsonwebkeyset-local-filename)
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Local{}.JWKS`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the JSON Web Key Set that validates the JWT’s signature, formatted as a base64 encoded string. You cannot specify the `JWKS` parameter if [`JWKS{}.Local{}.Filename`](#jsonwebkeyset-local-filename) is also specified in the same map.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Local{}.Filename`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the path to the JSON Web Key Set’s location on the local disk. When this field is specified, the file must be present on the disk for all proxies with service intentions referencing this provider. You cannot specify the `Filename` parameter if [`JWKS{}.Local{}.String`](#jsonwebkeyset-local-string) is also specified in the same map.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote`
|
||
|
||
Specifies a remote source for the JSON Web Key Set and configures behavior when fetching the key set.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: Map that can contain the following parameters:
|
||
|
||
- [`URI`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-uri)
|
||
- [`RequestTimeoutMs`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-requesttimeoutms)
|
||
- [`CacheDuration`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-cacheduration)
|
||
- [`FetchAsynchronously`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-fetchasynchronously)
|
||
- [`RetryPolicy`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-retrypolicy)
|
||
- [`JWKSCluster`](#jsonwebkeyset-remote-jwkscluster)
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote{}.URI`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the URI of the server to query for the JSON Key Web Set.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote{}.RequestTimeoutMs`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the length of time before a request to the remote URI times out, measured in milliseconds (ms).
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||
- Data type: Integer
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote{}.CacheDuration`
|
||
|
||
Specifies the amount of time cached keys are available before they expire.
|
||
|
||
The default cache duration is 5 minutes.
|
||
|
||
#### Values
|
||
|
||
- Default: `5m`
|
||
- Data type: String
|
||
|
||
### `JSONWebKeySet{}.Remote{}.FetchAsynchronously`
|
||
|
||
Determines if the JSON Web Key Set is fetched before a client request arrives. When enabled, the JWKS is fetched before incoming requests. When not enabled, the JWKS is fetched after each request arrives and the proxy listener waits for the JWKS to be fetched before activating.
|
||
|
||
This parameter is set to `false` by default.

||
|
||
- Default: None
|
||

## Metrics
|
||
|
||
Envoy proxies expose metrics that can track JWT authentication details. Use the following Envoy metrics:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.allowed
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.cors_preflight_bypassed
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.denied
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.jwks_fetch_failed
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.jwks_fetch_success
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.jwt_cache_hit
|
||
http.public_listener.jwt_authn.jwt_cache_miss
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
~> **Note:** Currently, Envoy does not reference these metrics in their documentation. Refer to [Envoy documentation](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/) for more information about exposed metrics.
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
The following examples demonstrate common JWT provider configuration patterns for specific use cases.
|
||
|
||
### Okta JWT provider
|
||
|
||
The following example configures Consul to fetch a JSON Web Token issued by Okta. Consul fetches the token from the URI and keeps it in its cache for 30 minutes before the token expires. After validation, the token is forwarded to the backend with `user-token` appended to the HTTP header.
