So, inside the docker container, your c:/Users/myUser is now available as /data. Hence, you have to use /data/www as the hostpath.

QUESTION

What does a JWT cookie need to look like to work with NGINX modules?

Asked 2018-Sep-13 at 07:39

I have been using NGINX as a reverse proxy and recently decided I needed to add authentication to a route on a website. I realised that there area multiple NGINX modules that could allow me to handle the authentication through NGINX (see links below). So, I build a single-sing-on login page that integrates auth0 to test how this would work.

All modules are similar and allow you to specify an auth_jwt_key (for validation of the JWT) as well as a variable to where the JWT (auth_jwt) is stored. I decided to store the JWT in a cookie.

Unfortunately, I can not get the validation through NGINX to work and keep seeing a 401 unauthorized return code.

Here is the part of the flask app, where I am handling the auth0 login and storing the JWT into a cookie:

To answer the main question: The cookie should really contain only the JWT without any prefix. The python (flask) code in the question isn’t doing anything wrong and I was able to confirm with curl that you can in fact get authorized (with a valid JWT) stored in a cookie:

Install nginx-jwt

IMPORTANT: nginx-jwt is a Lua script that is designed to run on Nginx servers that have the HttpLuaModule installed. But ultimately its dependencies require components available in the OpenResty distribution of Nginx. Therefore, it is recommended that you use OpenResty as your Nginx server, and these instructions make that assumption.
Download the latest archive package from releases.
Extract the archive and deploy its contents to a directory on your Nginx server.
Specify this directory's path using ngx_lua's lua_package_path directive: # nginx.conf: http { lua_package_path "/path/to/lua/scripts;;"; ... }
If you just want to see the nginx-jwt script in action, you can run the backend container and the default proxy (Nginx) container:. NOTE: On the first run, the above script may take several minutes to download and build all the base Docker images, so go grab a fresh cup of coffee. Successive runs are much faster.
This script is similar to run except it executes all the integration tests, which end up building and running additional proxy containers to simulate different scenarios. Use this script while developing new features.
