TLS Metadata Headers

Make the following request:

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/services/{serviceName|Id}/plugins/ \
    --header "Accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "tls-metadata-headers",
      "config": {
        "inject_client_cert_details": true,
        "client_cert_header_name": "X-Forwarded-Client-Cert"
      }
    }
    '

Make sure to replace the following placeholders with your own values:

• serviceName|Id: The id or name of the service the plugin configuration will target.

Make the following request:

curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/services/{serviceId}/plugins/ \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "tls-metadata-headers",
      "config": {
        "inject_client_cert_details": true,
        "client_cert_header_name": "X-Forwarded-Client-Cert"
      }
    }
    '

Make sure to replace the following placeholders with your own values:

• region: Geographic region where your Kong Konnect is hosted and operates.

• controlPlaneId: The id of the control plane.

• KONNECT_TOKEN: Your Personal Access Token (PAT) associated with your Konnect account.

• serviceId: The id of the service the plugin configuration will target.

Next, apply the KongPlugin resource by annotating the service resource:

kubectl annotate -n kong service SERVICE_NAME konghq.com/plugins=tls-metadata-headers

Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:

Next, apply the KongPlugin resource by annotating the httproute or ingress resource:

kubectl annotate -n kong httproute  konghq.com/plugins=tls-metadata-headers

kubectl annotate -n kong ingress  konghq.com/plugins=tls-metadata-headers
