The claim's value must be a singular string. Same as the --oidc-username-claim and --oidc-username-prefix flags. If username.expression is set, the expression must produce a string value. If username.expression uses 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must be used in username.expression or extra[].valueExpression or claimValidationRules[].expression. An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically applied when username.claim is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true) == true'. By explicitly comparing the value to true, we let type-checking see the result will be a boolean, and to make sure a non-boolean email_verified claim will be caught at runtime. In the flag based approach, the --oidc-username-claim and --oidc-username-prefix are optional. If --oidc-username-claim is not set, the default value is "sub". For the authentication config, there is no defaulting for claim or prefix. The claim and prefix must be set explicitly. For claim, if --oidc-username-claim was not set with legacy flag approach, configure username.claim="sub" in the authentication config. For prefix: (1) --oidc-username-prefix="-", no prefix was added to the username. For the same behavior using authentication config, set username.prefix="" (2) --oidc-username-prefix="" and --oidc-username-claim != "email", prefix was "<value of --oidc-issuer-url>#". For the same behavior using authentication config, set username.prefix="#" (3) --oidc-username-prefix="". For the same behavior using authentication config, set username.prefix="" groups PrefixedClaimOrExpression groups represents an option for the groups attribute. The claim's value must be a string or string array claim. If groups.claim is set, the prefix must be specified (and can be the empty string). If groups.expression is set, the expression must produce a string or string array value. "", [], and null values are treated as the group mapping not being present. uid ClaimOrExpression uid represents an option for the uid attribute. Claim must be a singular string claim. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
