Basic configuration examples
The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling
the jwt
plugin on a
service.
Make the following request:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/services/{serviceName|Id}/plugins \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '
{
"name": "jwt",
"config": {
"uri_param_names": [
"paramName_2.2.x"
]
}
}
'
Replace SERVICE_NAME|ID
with the id
or name
of the service that this plugin configuration will target.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers -d username=alex
Create a jwt credential attached to this consumer:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers/alex/jwt \
-d algorithm=HS256 \
-d secret=this_is_a_super_secret_value
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
Make the following request, substituting your own access token, region, control plane ID, and service ID:
curl -X POST \
https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/services/{serviceId}/plugins \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
--data '{"name":"jwt","config":{"uri_param_names":["paramName_2.2.x"]}}'
See the Konnect API reference to learn about region-specific URLs and personal access tokens.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
curl -X POST https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/consumers -d username=alex
Create a jwt credential attached to this consumer:
curl -X POST https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/consumers/alex/jwt \
-d algorithm=HS256 \
-d secret=this_is_a_super_secret_value
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
First, create a KongPlugin resource:
echo "
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
name: jwt-example
plugin: jwt
config:
uri_param_names:
- paramName_2.2.x
" | kubectl apply -f -
Next, apply the KongPlugin
resource to an ingress by annotating the service
as follows:
kubectl annotate service SERVICE_NAME konghq.com/plugins=jwt-example
Replace SERVICE_NAME
with the name of the service that this plugin configuration will target.
You can see your available ingresses by running kubectl get service
.
Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as aKongClusterPlugin
instead ofKongPlugin
.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a credential for the plugin. Create a secret with the following command:
echo '
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: alex-jwt
labels:
konghq.com/credential: jwt
stringData:
algorithm: HS256
secret: this_is_a_super_secret_value
' | kubectl apply -f -
Finally, create a consumer that will use this credential:
echo "apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongConsumer
metadata:
name: alex
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: kong
username: alex
credentials:
- alex-jwt
" | kubectl apply -f -
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
Add this section to your declarative configuration file:
plugins:
- name: jwt
service: SERVICE_NAME|ID
config:
uri_param_names:
- paramName_2.2.x
Replace SERVICE_NAME|ID
with the id
or name
of the service that this plugin configuration will target.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
consumers:
- username: alex
jwt_secrets:
- algorithm: HS256
secret: this_is_a_super_secret_value
Add the above to your declarative config and apply it to your running Kong instance.
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
Prerequisite: Configure your Personal Access Token
terraform {
required_providers {
konnect = {
source = "kong/konnect"
}
}
}
provider "konnect" {
personal_access_token = "kpat_YOUR_TOKEN"

}
Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:
resource "konnect_gateway_plugin_jwt" "my_jwt" {
enabled = true
config = {
uri_param_names = ["paramName_2.2.x"]
}
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
service = {
id = konnect_gateway_service.my_service.id
}
}
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
resource "konnect_gateway_consumer" "alex" {
username = "alex"
custom_id = "alex-custom"
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
}
Create a jwt credential attached to this consumer:
resource "konnect_gateway_jwt" "my_jwt" {
algorithm = "HS256"
secret = "this_is_a_super_secret_value"
consumer_id = konnect_gateway_consumer.alex.id
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
}
The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling
the jwt
plugin on a
route.
Make the following request:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/routes/{routeName|Id}/plugins \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '
{
"name": "jwt",
"config": {
"uri_param_names": [
"paramName_2.2.x"
]
}
}
'
Replace ROUTE_NAME|ID
with the id
or name
of the route that this plugin configuration will target.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers -d username=alex

-d algorithm=HS256 \
-d secret=this_is_a_super_secret_value
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
Make the following request, substituting your own access token, region, control plane ID, and route ID:
curl -X POST \
https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/routes/{routeId}/plugins \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
--data '{"name":"jwt","config":{"uri_param_names":["paramName_2.2.x"]}}'
See the Konnect API reference to learn about region-specific URLs and personal access tokens.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.

curl -X POST https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/consumers -d username=alex
Create a jwt credential attached to this consumer:
curl -X POST https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/consumers/alex/jwt \
-d algorithm=HS256 \
-d secret=this_is_a_super_secret_value
You can now authenticate as alex
when making your request. See the documentation for more information.
First, create a KongPlugin resource:
echo "
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
name: jwt-example
plugin: jwt
config:
uri_param_names:
- paramName_2.2.x
" | kubectl apply -f -
Next, apply the KongPlugin
resource to an ingress by annotating the ingress
as follows:
kubectl annotate ingress INGRESS_NAME konghq.com/plugins=jwt-example
Replace INGRESS_NAME
with the name of the ingress that this plugin configuration will target.
You can see your available ingresses by running kubectl get ingress
.
Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as aKongClusterPlugin
instead ofKongPlugin
.
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a credential for the plugin. Create a secret with the following command:
echo '
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: alex-jwt
labels:
konghq.com/credential: jwt
stringData:

}
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
route = {
id = konnect_gateway_route.my_route.id
}
}
As this is an auth plugin, you need to create a consumer and attach a credential to it.
Create a consumer:
resource "konnect_gateway_consumer" "alex" {
username = "alex"
custom_id = "alex-custom"
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
}
Create a jwt credential attached to this consumer:
resource "konnect_gateway_jwt" "my_jwt" {
algorithm = "HS256"
secret = "this_is_a_super_secret_value"
consumer_id = konnect_gateway_consumer.alex.id
control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
}
A plugin which is not associated to any service, route, consumer, or consumer group is considered global, and will be run on every request.
- In self-managed Kong Gateway Enterprise, the plugin applies to every entity in a given workspace.
- In self-managed Kong Gateway (OSS), the plugin applies to your entire environment.
- In Konnect, the plugin applies to every entity in a given control plane.
Read the Plugin Reference and the Plugin Precedence sections for more information.
