AADSTS700211 invalid_client

[hasland]

Describe the bug
I'm getting the error AADSTS700211: WorkloadIdentityCredential: Microsoft Entra ID error '(invalid_client) AADSTS700211: No matching federated identity record found for presented assertion issuer 'https://oidc.prod-aks.azure.com/879-...-a6425/'. Please check your federated identity credential Subject, Audience and Issuer against the presented assertion. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/workload-identity-federation Trace ID: REDACTED Correlation ID: REDACTED Timestamp: 2023-12-08 16:17:27Z'

Steps To Reproduce

Deploy Workload Identity v1.2.0 inside an AKS cluster v1.27.7

Create an AAD Service Principal and a k8s service account using the azwi cli:

azwi serviceaccount create \
  --service-account-name "saName" \
  --skip-phases role-assignment \
  --subscription-id "<SUB_ID>" \
  --aad-application-name "<AAD_APP_NAME>" \
  --service-account-issuer-url "https://oidc.prod-aks.azure.com/879-...-a6425/" \
  --service-account-namespace <K8S_NAMESPACE>

Create a pod associating the SA and with a label azure.workload.identity/use: "true"

Trying to authenticate and get a Key Vault secret using Python 3.10 with DefaultAzureCredential(), using azure-identity==1.15.0 lib

Expected behavior

Get the secret value.

AAD Service Principal is created without problems:

On AAD App Registration I can see all the values populated correctly (issuer, namespace, service account name).

Have you looked at the troubleshooting guide: https://azure.github.io/azure-workload-identity/docs/troubleshooting.html#aadsts70021-no-matching-federated-identity-record-found-for-presented-assertion?

Check exact match for following in the Azure AD App:

1. Issuer URL
2. Service account name and namespace; this is the subject field in FIC system:serviceaccount:<sa namespace>:<sa name>.

[hasland]

@aramase Yep, all the data in Azure AD App has the right values (issuer URL, service account, namespace).
azwi populates it with the parameters that we pass to it, we do not populate it manually. We checked N times, recreated the service account and the Azure AD app, but the problem persists.

Azure AAD App:

Service account:

Having the same issue.

I am trying the following docs:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/for-containers/quickstart-deploy-application-gateway-for-containers-alb-controller?tabs=install-helm-windows

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/for-containers/quickstart-create-application-gateway-for-containers-managed-by-alb-controller?tabs=new-subnet-aks-vnet

The result is the same error. I can see the resources on azure-portal but I am not sure what the problem is.

having the same issue with flux addon and workload identity on AKS

[Orbifoldt]

I ran into the same error message (without using the azwi cli) while using the Azure Secret store CSI driver, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, I checked the secret store provider logs, and it turned out that I was deploying with the wrong keyvault configured 😮‍💨 . So if someone encounters this error you might want to double check your resource / authorization configuration

[chrismilson]

I had the same issue; restarting the keda-controller fixed the issue.

[veerun14]

same issue here. any luck? Issuer URL (with the trailing slash), subject and audience all look good. Still hitting this error

[veerun14]

adding correlation IDs if that helps for debuggin on your side

This works if I use user-assigned managed identity only and not with an AAD app. Is this communicated anywhere?

I just created a user-assigned managed identity and add a federated credential to that MI and was able to get a credential. No more errors. In fact I was able to access the target azure resource as well (KV in my case)

[avarnon]

We are encountering the same issue as the original poster. I have validated the federated credential against the JWT token mounted to the pods and everything seems to match. Any updates?

I was also having this same problem. It took me longer than I care to admit to realize that I had a trailing \n character in the FIC issuer which the portal was not displaying. It was only visible in the raw JSON of the FederatedIdentityCredential.

Once I fixed that, everything was working well.

@aramase - wondering if these other issues might be a similar issue in either the issuer or subject identifier section... do we have a contact on the identity team who could verify if/why they even accept newlines in these fields? It seems like a bit of a foot-gun.

Have started a thread internally to discuss catching such errors as part of API validation. I'll update this thread once we hear back from the Entra team.

This has been a complete time suck trying to figure out what the issue was here and happy to have landed on this post with the appropriate search terms. As stated above, there is a problem with line endings. In my situation, \r was added to the end.

I get my OIDC Issuer from the following command:

az aks show --name "${CLUSTER_NAME}" \
    --resource-group "${RESOURCE_GROUP}" \
    --query "oidcIssuerProfile.issuerUrl" \
    --output tsv

The above output is stored as a variable and then used in the command to create the federated credential:

az identity federated-credential create --name ${FEDERATED_IDENTITY_CREDENTIAL_NAME} \
    --identity-name "${USER_ASSIGNED_IDENTITY_NAME}" \
    --resource-group "${RESOURCE_GROUP}" \
    --issuer "${AKS_OIDC_ISSUER}" \
    --subject "system:serviceaccount:${SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAMESPACE}:${SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME}" \
    --audience api://AzureADTokenExchange

The output from creating the federated credential shows a line ending:

{
  "audiences": [
    "api://AzureADTokenExchange"
  ],
  "id": "<FIC_RESOURCE_ID>",
  "issuer": "https://westus3.oic.prod-aks.azure.com/aaaaaaaa-86f1-41af-91ab-aaaaaaaaaaaa/bbbbbbbb-0443-47ec-b4c5-bbbbbbbbbbbb/\r",
  "name": "<FIC_NAME>",
  "resourceGroup": "<RESOURCE_GROUP>",
  "subject": "system:serviceaccount:default:workload-identity-sa",
  "systemData": null,
  "type": "Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/federatedIdentityCredentials"
}

Edit
I have been able to remove any special line endings in my bash deployment scripts using //[$'\t\r\n ']
