Integrating OpenUnison and Argo CD¶
These instructions will take you through the steps of integrating OpenUnison and Argo CD to support single sign-on and add a "badge" to your OpenUnison portal to create a single access point for both Kubernetes and Argo CD. These instructions assume you'll be using both Argo CD web interface and command line interface as well as running OpenUnison 1.0.20+.

Create an OpenUnison Trust¶
Update the below Trust object and add it to the openunison namespace. The only change you need to make is to replace argocd.apps.domain.com with the host name of your Argo CD URL. The localhost URL is needed for the cli to work. There is no client secret used for Argo CD since the cli will not work with it.
apiVersion: openunison.tremolo.io/v1
kind: Trust
metadata:
name: argocd
namespace: openunison
spec:
accessTokenSkewMillis: 120000
accessTokenTimeToLive: 1200000
authChainName: login-service
clientId: argocd
codeLastMileKeyName: lastmile-oidc
codeTokenSkewMilis: 60000
publicEndpoint: true
redirectURI:
- https://argocd.apps.domain.com/auth/callback
- http://localhost:8085/auth/callback
signedUserInfo: true
verifyRedirect: true
Create a "Badge" in OpenUnison¶
Download the yaml for a PortalUrl object and update the url to point to your Argo CD instance. Add the updated PortalUrl to the openunison namespace of your cluster.
Configure SSO in Argo CD¶
Next, update the argocd-cm ConfigMap in the argocd namespace. Add the url and oidc.config sections as seen below. Update issuer with the host for OpenUnison.
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
data:
url: https://argocd.apps.domain.com
oidc.config: |-
name: OpenUnison
issuer: https://k8sou.apps.192-168-2-144.nip.io/auth/idp/k8sIdp
clientID: argocd
requestedScopes: ["openid", "profile", "email", "groups"]
If everything went correctly, login to your OpenUnison instance and there should be a badge for Argo CD. Clicking on that badge opens Argo CD in a new window, already logged in! Additionally, launching the argocd cli tool will launch a browser to login to OpenUnison.
Configure Argo CD Policy¶
OpenUnison places groups in the groups claim. These claims will show up when you click on the user-info section of the Argo CD portal. If you're using LDAP, Active Directory, or Active Directory Federation Services the groups will provided to Argo CD as full Distinguished Names (DN). Since a DN containers commas (,) you'll need to quote the group name in your policy. For instance to assign CN=k8s_login_cluster_admins,CN=Users,DC=ent2k12,DC=domain,DC=com as an administrator would look like:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-rbac-cm
namespace: argocd
data:
policy.csv: |
g, "CN=k8s_login_cluster_admins,CN=Users,DC=ent2k12,DC=domain,DC=com", role:admin
