# JWT authentication
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can configure Grafana to accept a JWT token provided in the HTTP header. The token is verified using any of the following:
|
||
|
- PEM-encoded key file
|
||
|
- JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) in a local file
|
||
|
- JWKS provided by the configured JWKS endpoint
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Enable JWT
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use JWT authentication:
|
||
|
1. Enable JWT in the [main config file]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md" >}}).
|
||
|
1. Specify the header name that contains a token.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
[auth.jwt]
|
||
|
# By default, auth.jwt is disabled.
|
||
|
enabled = true
|
||
|
|
||
|
# HTTP header to look into to get a JWT token.
|
||
|
header_name = X-JWT-Assertion
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Configure login claim
|
||
|
|
||
|
To identify the user, some of the claims needs to be selected as a login info. You could specify a claim that contains either a username or an email of the Grafana user.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Typically, the subject claim called `"sub"` would be used as a login but it might also be set to some application specific claim.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
# [auth.jwt]
|
||
|
# ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Specify a claim to use as a username to sign in.
|
||
|
username_claim = sub
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Specify a claim to use as an email to sign in.
|
||
|
email_claim = sub
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Signature verification
|
||
|
|
||
|
JSON web token integrity needs to be verified so cryptographic signature is used for this purpose. So we expect that every token must be signed with some known cryptographic key.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You have a variety of options on how to specify where the keys are located.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Verify token using a JSON Web Key Set loaded from https endpoint
|
||
|
|
||
|
For more information on JWKS endpoints, refer to [Auth0 docs](https://auth0.com/docs/tokens/json-web-tokens/json-web-key-sets).
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
# [auth.jwt]
|
||
|
# ...
|
||
|
|
||
|
jwk_set_url = https://your-auth-provider.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Cache TTL for data loaded from http endpoint.
|
||
|
cache_ttl = 60m
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Verify token using a JSON Web Key Set loaded from JSON file
|
||
|
|
||
|
Key set in the same format as in JWKS endpoint but located on disk.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
jwk_set_file = /path/to/jwks.json
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Verify token using a single key loaded from PEM-encoded file
|
||
|
|
||
|
PEM-encoded key file in PKIX, PKCS #1, PKCS #8 or SEC 1 format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
key_file = /path/to/key.pem
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Validate claims
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, only `"exp"`, `"nbf"` and `"iat"` claims are validated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You might also want to validate that other claims are really what you expect them to be.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ini
|
||
|
# This can be seen as a required "subset" of a JWT Claims Set.
|
||
|
expect_claims = {"iss": "https://your-token-issuer", "your-custom-claim": "foo"}
|
||
|
```
