| 16 | +--- |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The [`redis-authx-entraid`](https://github.com/redis/jvm-redis-authx-entraid) package |
| 19 | +lets you authenticate your app to |
| 20 | +[Azure Managed Redis (AMR)](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/managed-redis) |
| 21 | +using [Microsoft Entra ID](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/). |
| 22 | +You can authenticate using a system-assigned or user-assigned |
| 23 | +[managed identity](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview) |
| 24 | +or a [service principal](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/app-objects-and-service-principals), |
| 25 | +letting `redis-authx-entraid` fetch and renew the authentication tokens for you automatically. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +See |
| 28 | +[Use Microsoft Entra for cache authentication](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-azure-active-directory-for-authentication) |
| 29 | +in the Microsoft docs to learn how to configure Azure to use Entra ID authentication. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Install |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Install [`jedis`]({{< relref "/develop/clients/jedis" >}}) first, |
| 34 | +if you have not already done so. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +If you are using Maven, add |
| 37 | +the following dependency to your `pom.xml` file: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +```xml |
| 40 | +<dependency> |
| 41 | + <groupId>redis.clients.authentication</groupId> |
| 42 | + <artifactId>redis-authx-entraid</artifactId> |
| 43 | + <version>0.1.1-beta1</version> |
| 44 | +</dependency> |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +If you are using Gradle, add the following dependency to your |
| 48 | +`build.gradle` file: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +```bash |
| 51 | +implementation 'redis.clients.authentication:redis-authx-entraid:0.1.1-beta1' |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Create a `TokenAuthConfig` instance |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +The `TokenAuthConfig` class contains the authentication details that you |
| 57 | +must supply when you connect to Redis. Chain the methods of the |
| 58 | +`EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder` class together (starting with the `builder()` |
| 59 | +method) to include the details you need, as shown in the following example: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +```java |
| 62 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 63 | + .secret("<secret>") |
| 64 | + .authority("<authority>") |
| 65 | + // Other options... |
| 66 | + .build(); |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Some of the details you can supply are common to different use cases: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- `secret()`: A string containing the [authentication secret](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sit-defn-azure-ad-client-secret). |
| 72 | +- `authority()`: A string containing the [authority](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/msal-client-application-configuration#authority) |
| 73 | + URL. |
| 74 | +- `scopes()`: A set of strings defining the [scopes](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/scopes-oidc) |
| 75 | + you want to apply. Configure your client application to acquire a Microsoft Entra token for scope, `https://redis.azure.com/.default` or `acca5fbb-b7e4-4009-81f1-37e38fd66d78/.default` (as detailed at [Microsoft Entra ID for authentication](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/managed-redis/managed-redis-entra-for-authentication#microsoft-entra-client-workflow)) |
| 76 | + with the |
| 77 | + [Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/msal-overview) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +(See [Advanced configuration options](#advanced-configuration-options) below |
| 80 | +to learn more about the options for controlling token request retry and timeout |
| 81 | +behavior.) |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +You can also add configuration to authenticate with a [service principal](#serv-principal) |
| 84 | +or a [managed identity](#mgd-identity) as described in the sections below. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### Configuration for a service principal {#serv-principal} |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Add `clientId()` to the `EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder` chain to specify |
| 89 | +authentication via a service principal, passing the ID token string as |
| 90 | +a parameter. (See the |
| 91 | +[Microsoft EntraID docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/app-objects-and-service-principals) |
| 92 | +for more information about service principals.) |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```java |
| 95 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 96 | + .clientId("<CLIENT-ID>") |
| 97 | + // ... |
| 98 | + .build(); |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### Configuration for a managed identity {#mgd-identity} |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +You can also authenticate to AMR using a managed identity (see the |
| 104 | +[Microsoft documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview) to learn more about managed identities). |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +For a system assigned managed identity, simply add the `systemAssignedManagedIdentity()` |
| 107 | +method to the `EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder` chain: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +```java |
| 110 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 111 | + .systemAssignedManagedIdentity() |
| 112 | + // ... |
| 113 | + .build(); |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +For a user assigned managed identity, add `userAssignedManagedIdentity()`. This |
| 117 | +requires a member of the `UserManagedIdentityType` enum (to select a |
| 118 | +`CLIENT_ID`, `OBJECT_ID`, or `RESOURCE_ID`) as well as the `id` string itself: |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +```java |
| 121 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 122 | + .userAssignedManagedIdentity( |
| 123 | + UserManagedIdentityType.CLIENT_ID, |
| 124 | + "<ID>" |
| 125 | + ) |
| 126 | + // ... |
| 127 | + .build(); |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +``` |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +## Connect using `DefaultJedisClientConfig` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +When you have created your `TokenAuthConfig` instance, you are ready to |
| 134 | +connect to AMR. |
| 135 | +The example below shows how to include the `TokenAuthConfig` details in a |
| 136 | +`JedisClientConfig` instance and use it with the `UnifiedJedis` connection. |
| 137 | +The connection uses |
| 138 | +[Transport Layer Security (TLS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security), |
| 139 | +which is recommended and enabled by default for managed identities. See |
| 140 | +[Connect to your production Redis with TLS]({{< relref "/develop/clients/jedis/connect#connect-to-your-production-redis-with-tls" >}}) for more information about |
| 141 | +TLS connections, including the implementation of the `createSslSocketFactory()` |
| 142 | +method used in the example. |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +```java |
| 145 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 146 | + // Chain of options... |
| 147 | + .build(); |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +SSLSocketFactory sslFactory = createSslSocketFactory( |
| 150 | + "./truststore.jks", |
| 151 | + "secret!", // Use the password you specified for `keytool` |
| 152 | + "./redis-user-keystore.p12", |
| 153 | + "secret!" // Use the password you specified for `openssl` |
| 154 | +); |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +JedisClientConfig config = DefaultJedisClientConfig.builder() |
| 157 | + // Include the `TokenAuthConfig` details. |
| 158 | + .authXManager(new AuthXManager(authConfig)) |
| 159 | + .ssl(true).sslSocketFactory(sslFactory) |
| 160 | + .build(); |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +UnifiedJedis jedis = new UnifiedJedis( |
| 163 | + new HostAndPort("<host>", <port>), |
| 164 | + config |
| 165 | +); |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +// Test the connection. |
| 168 | +System.out.println(String.format("Database size is %d", jedis.dbSize())); |
| 169 | +``` |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## Advanced configuration options |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +The `TokenAuthConfig` class has several other options that you can |
| 174 | +set with the `EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder()`. These give you |
| 175 | +more precise control over the way the token is renewed: |
| 176 | + |
| 177 | +```java |
| 178 | +TokenAuthConfig authConfig = EntraIDTokenAuthConfigBuilder.builder() |
| 179 | + .expirationRefreshRatio(0.75) |
| 180 | + .lowerRefreshBoundMillis(100) |
| 181 | + .tokenRequestExecTimeoutInMs(100) |
| 182 | + .maxAttemptsToRetry(10) |
| 183 | + .delayInMsToRetry() |
| 184 | + // ... |
| 185 | + .build(); |
| 186 | +``` |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +These options are explained below: |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +- `expirationRefreshRatio`: a `float` value representing the fraction |
| 191 | + of a token's lifetime that should elapse before attempting to |
| 192 | + refresh it. For example, a value of 0.75 means that you want to |
| 193 | + refresh the token after 75% of its lifetime has passed. |
| 194 | +- `lowerRefreshBoundMillis`: the minimum amount of the token's lifetime |
| 195 | + (in milliseconds) remaining before attempting to refresh, regardless |
| 196 | + of the `expirationRefreshRatio` value. Set this to zero if you want |
| 197 | + the refresh time to depend only on `expirationRefreshRatio`. |
| 198 | +- `tokenRequestExecTimeoutInMs`: the maximum time (in milliseconds) to |
| 199 | + wait for a token request to receive a response. A timeout occurs if this limit is exceeded. |
| 200 | +- `maxAttemptsToRetry`: the maximum number of times to retry a token |
| 201 | + request before aborting. |
| 202 | +- `delayInMsToRetry`: the time (in milliseconds) to wait before |
| 203 | + retrying a token request after a failed attempt. This provides a mechanism to request throttling to prevent an excessive number of token requests. |
