Getting started with app registration

You are browsing documentation for an outdated plugin version.

Using the plugin

You can follow the basic examples to enable your plugin using your preferred method. Or, follow this guide for some specific scenarios.

Prerequisites

Before using this plugin, set an authorization provider strategy in kong.conf.

Enable automatic registration approval

You can enable auto_approve so that application registration requests are automatically approved.

The following example creates an instance of the plugin with auto_approve enabled. Replace <service> with your service name or ID, and <my_service_display_name> with the display_name of your service:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/services/<service>/plugins \
    --data "name=application-registration"  \
    --data "config.display_name=<my_service_display_name>" \
    --data "config.auto_approve=true

Or, you can update your current configuration with a PATCH request. Replace <plugin_id> with the id of your plugin.

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8001/plugins/<plugin_id> \
  --data "config.auto_approve=true"

Enable show issuer URL

Enable show_issuer to expose the Issuer URL in the Service Details dialog.

Note: Exposing the Issuer URL is essential for the Authorization Code Flow configured for third-party identity providers.

Update your current configuration with a PATCH request. Replace <plugin_id> with the id of your plugin.

curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8001/plugins/<plugin_id> \
  --data "config.show_issuer=true"
