A super specific process to synchronize selected G.Workspace groups into Boundary groups following an authoritative approach
Boundary service has the capability of using GCP Oauth2 as OIDC provider, but GCP does not set the groups into JWTs claims. This could be solved performing a second call to G. Workspace Admin API to retrieve them, but Boundary has not this capability implemented nowadays*.
This synchronizer does this job in the background. It creates and synchronizes some groups and their memberships for you, following an authoritative approach.
Every configuration parameter can be defined by flags that can be passed to the CLI. They are described in the following table:
| Name | Description | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
--log-level |
Define the verbosity of the logs | info |
--log-level info |
--disable-trace |
Disable traces from logs | false |
--disable-trace true |
--google-sa-credentials-path |
Google ServiceAccount credentials JSON file path | google.json |
--google-sa-credentials-path="~/something.json" |
--sync-time |
Waiting time between group synchronizations (in duration type) | 10m |
--sync-time 5m |
--google-group |
(Repeatable or comma-separated list) G.Workspace groups | - |
--google-group [email protected] |
--boundary-oidc-id |
Boundary oidc auth method ID to compare its users against G.Workspace | amoidc_changeme |
--boundary-oidc-id "amoidc_example" |
--boundary-scope-id |
Boundary scope ID where the users and groups are synchronized | global |
--boundary-scope-id "global" |
Security-critical parameters are managed by environment variables. They are described in the following table:
| Name | Description | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
BOUNDARY_ADDR |
Address where your Boundary instance is hosted | - |
https://hashicorp-boundary.company.com |
BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_ID |
ID of boundary auth method where the privileged user is stored | - |
ampw_example |
BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_USER |
Username of boundary privileged user that perform synchronization | - |
user_example_changeit |
BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_PASS |
Password of boundary privileged user that perform synchronization | - |
super_secure_password |
Here you have a complete example to use this command.
Output is thrown always in JSON as it is more suitable for automations
export BOUNDARY_ADDR="https://your-boundary.you-company.com/"
export BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_ID="ampw_example"
export BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_USER="automation-google-workspace-groups-syncer"
export BOUNDARY_AUTHMETHODPASS_PASS='super_secure_password'
