Hello again dear Oathkeeper people, I’m trying to forward a payload from oathkeeper to a remote_json authorizer. I’m having a lot of trouble sending a slice of strings

[]string

. Here is a sample of my configuration (see

claims

key):

authorizers:
        remote_json:
          enabled: true
          config:
            remote: <http://authz-service:4242/decide>
            payload: |
              {
                "input": {
                  "sub": "{{ print .Subject }}",
                  "bike": {{ or (print .Extra.hasBike) "false" }},
                  "claims": {{ printf "%+q" .Extra.claims }} 
                }
              }

I’ve followed the documentation provided by Ory here. In the current setup, oathkeeper gives me the following error:

message:payload is not a JSON text: invalid character '%' looking for beginning of value

If I try to escape the

printf

with

printf \"%+q\" .Extra.claims

I get another error:

unexpected "\\" in operand

. Any ideas/pointers into how to fix that ?

As far as I remember, functions offered by the sprig library are available. So you could use the

join

function to achieve your goal. Take a look here for usage examples: http://masterminds.github.io/sprig/string_slice.html

Hey ! Thanks 😊 I’d have to re-create the string escaping when needed so it seems doable but quite cumbersome. If I don’t find a better way, that’s what I’ll try 🙂
