How to authenticate to oauth2-proxy via cURL or POSTMAN


I have my service set behind oauth2-proxy and I am using version 4.0.0.

I am trying to hit an API behind the service, but unfortunately, I always get a 403 forbidden error because of oauth2-proxy being in the way.

I am looking for a way to authenticate via g-suite using oauth2-proxy and generate a token that I can then use for the service.

Does oauth2-proxy support any kind of way to authenticate via cURL or POST call?


Solution

  • It feels to me that your deployment separation is not right. OAuth has a strong focus on separation of web and API concerns. The oauth2-proxy utility is a web client and should not be deployed in front of APIs since that can limit your options.
