Kubernetes Service account authentication in Postman

votes

I have a kubernetes cluster and i have my application deployed in the pods. There is a endpoint URL of my application which i used to send POST requests from Postman. I need to provide some level of authentication to the my URL. I read the service account authentication using the JWT token.

How can i achieve the same feature in postman ??

I tried creating a new service account and took the secret and the associated JWT token as the Bearer token in postman. But it is not giving any kind of authentication.

Cant directly answer your question, but from what comes to my mind is that: Istio supports Token-based end-user authentication with JSON Web Tokens.

You should understand I havent tried to do that, but this looks for me very promising: Istio End-User Authentication for Kubernetes using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and Auth0

And to test JWT-based authentication and authorization workflow thay exactly use Postman, as you prefer.
