OIDC With Google Cloud Platform

This guide is to help you connect to GCP with OIDC, instead of using static credentials.

Overview

This guide will show you how to create a GCP Workload Identity Federation Provider, and attach it to a Service Account to generate temporary credentials by accepting env0's OIDC token. Refer to env0's OIDC configuration.

Workload Identity Federation Pool and Provider

1. Login to your GCP account and select the relevant project.
2. In the left-hand side menu select IAM & Admin
3. Go to Workload Identity Pools page
4. Click on the Create Pool button
5. Enter a name and description, make sure the Enabled Pool is selected and click on the Continue button.

5. In Select a provider selection choose OIDC, add a Provider name, enter a Proivder ID
6. In the Issuer (URL) section enter https://login.app.env0.com/
7. In the Audiences Select Allowed audiences and enter https://prod.env0.com and click on the continue button.

8. In the Configure provider attributes under the OIDC 1 enter assertion.sub
9. Click on the Save button

Adding Custom Claims

If you like to add more Custom Claims, for example, I would like to add the organization id claim I would click on the Add Mapping button and add attribute.org_id in the Google text box, and in the OIDC I would add assertion.organizationId, and repeat step 14 with the organization id.

10. Follow this guide to get you sub value
11. In the Identity pool you've just created click on the Grant Access button
12. In the Service account select the relevant service account you would like to associate the identity pool with. Make sure this service account has the relevant access to what your code needs in order to create those resources
13. Select the Only identities matching the filter radio button and in the Attribute name select subject and in the Attribure value enter the value of your sub you got from the previous steps, and click on the Save button

14. In the Configure your application modal select the env0 provider you have created, insert env0-oidc-token.txt as a filename in OIDC ID token path text box , and in the Format type select text and click on the Download Config button
15. This will download a JSON configuration file that we will need during your deployment in env0, and doesn't contain any sensitive data on it:

{
  "type": "external_account",
  "audience": "//iam.googleapis.com/projects/XXXXXXXXXXXX/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/env0-identity-pool/providers/env0oidc",
  "subject_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt",
  "token_url": "https://sts.googleapis.com/v1/token",
  "service_account_impersonation_url": "https://iamcredentials.googleapis.com/v1/projects/-/serviceAccounts/[email protected]:generateAccessToken",
  "credential_source": {
    "file": "env0-oidc-token.txt",
    "format": {
      "type": "text"
    }
  }
}

Configure env0 OIDC Credential

Go to the organization's credentials page and create a new deployment credential. Select GCP OIDC type and enter the following fields:

• JSON configuration file content - The content of the JSON configuration file from the previous step

We will create a new file named env0_credential_configuration.json in the deployment pod that will contain the configuration file content. To be able to use OIDC with GCP you will need to read that configuration file in your code. For example, using terraform, it will look like this:

provider "google" {
    credentials = file("env0_credential_configuration.json")
    project = "env0project"
    region = "us-central1"
    zone = "us-central1-c"
}
