Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC) becomes part of Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)!

Starting with MOSK 25.2, the MOSK documentation set covers all product layers, including MOSK management (formerly Container Cloud). This means everything you need is in one place. Some legacy names may remain in the code and documentation and will be updated in future releases. The separate Container Cloud documentation site will be retired, so please update your bookmarks for continued easy access to the latest content.

Federation

MOSK Identity and Access Management (IAM) subsystem enables centralized management of users and their permissions across multiple clouds.

The core component of MOSK IAM is Keycloak, the open-source identity and access management software. Its primary function is to perform secure authentication of cloud users against its built-in or various external identity databases, such as LDAP directories, OpenID Connect or SAML compatible identity providers.

By default, every MOSK cluster is integrated with the Keycloak running in the MOSK management cluster. The integration automatically provisions the necessary configuration on the MOSK and MOSK IAM sides, such as the os client object in Keycloak. However, for the federated users to get proper permissions after logging in, the cloud operator needs to define the role mapping rules specific to each MOSK environment.

Connecting to Keycloak

MOSK enables you to connect to the Keycloak identity provider through the following structure in the OpenStackDeployment custom resource:

spec:
  features:
    keystone:
      keycloak:
        enabled: true
        url: https://keycloak.it.just.works
        oidc:
          OIDCSSLValidateServer: false
          OIDCOAuthSSLValidateServer: false
          OIDCScope: "openid email profile groups"

Connecting to external identity provider

Available since MOSK 24.3 TechPreview

MOSK enables you to connect external identity provider to Keystone directly through the following structure in the OpenStackDeployment custom resource:

The oidc_auth_type parameter specifies the Apache module to use: oauth20 or oauth2. The oauth20 functionality is deprecated and superseded by a new oauth2 module. You can configure two and more identity providers only with the oauth2 module.
