  • user-id-header-name | string

    Configures the name of the header whose value represents the user identity, for the created RequestAuthentications to pass the respective JWT claim representing the user identity to downstream applications as such a header.

    Any argument that can be used as value for the header key in outputClaimToHeaders of RequestAuthentication — that is any valid HTTP header field name — is acceptable: https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/request_authentication/#JWTRule-output_claim_to_headers

    This option is required and has no default. The charm will be in a blocked state until it is set to a valid HTTP header field name.
