Configuration options

You can customize the behavior of JIT Groups by setting environment variables in your App Engine configuration file or Cloud Run service YAML .

The following table lists all available configuration options.

Basic options

Name	Terraform attribute	Description	Required	Default	Available since
`CUSTOMER_ID` or `RESOURCE_CUSTOMER_ID`	`customer_id`	Cloud Identity/Workspace customer ID	Yes		1.6
`GROUPS_DOMAIN`	`groups_domain`	Domain to use for JIT groups, this can be the primary or a secondary domain	Yes		2.0
`APPROVAL_TIMEOUT`	-	Duration (in minutes) for approval requests to remains valid.	No	60	2.0

Email options

The following options let you customize how JIT Groups sends emails.

Name	Terraform attribute	Description	Required	Default	Available since
`SMTP_SENDER_NAME`	-	Name used as sender name in notifications.	No	`JIT Groups`	1.2
`SMTP_SENDER_ADDRESS`	`smtp_user`	Email address to use for notifications.	Yes		1.2
`SMTP_HOST`	`smtp_host`	SMTP server to use for delivering notifications.	No	`smtp.gmail.com`	1.2
`SMTP_PORT`	-	SMTP port to use for delivering notifications, see remarks below.	No	`587`	1.2
`SMTP_USERNAME`	`smtp_user`	Username for SMTP authentication (optional, only required if your SMTP requires authentication).	No		1.2
`SMTP_SECRET`	(automatic)	Path to a Secrets Manager secret that contains the password for SMTP authentication.	No		1.4
`SMTP_ADDRESS_MAPPING`	-	Expression for deriving a user's email address, see Email address mapping.	No	2.0	1.7
`SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS`	-	Enable StartTLS (required by most mail servers).	No	`true`	1.2
`SMTP_OPTIONS`	-	Comma-separated list of additional JavaMail options for delivering email, see remarks.	No		1.2
`NOTIFICATION_TIMEZONE`	-	Timezone to use for dates in notification emails, for example `Australia/Melbourne` or `Europe/Berlin`.	No		1.2

Remarks:

JIT Groups uses port 587 by default because port 25 can't be used on Google Cloud.
For a list of JavaMail options to use in SMTP_OPTIONS, see JavaMail documentation . Most mail servers don't require any additional options.
For a list of time zone identifiers, see the IANA Time Zone Database (TZDB)

Email address mapping

By default, JIT Groups assumes that all Cloud Identity/Workspace user IDs (such as alice@example.com) are valid email addresses, and can be used to deliver email notifications.

If some or all of your Cloud Identity/Workspace user IDs do not correspond to valid email addresses, you can use SMTP_ADDRESS_MAPPING to specify a CEL expression that derives a valid email address from the user ID.

CEL expressions can use the following macros and functions:

Standard macros such as filter, map, or matches (for RE2 regular expressions).
String functions such as replace, substring, or trim.
Encoder functions such as base64.encode and base64.decode.
extract

Examples:

The following CEL expression replaces the domain example.com with test.example.com for all users:
```
 user.email.extract('{handle}@example.com') + '@test.example.com'
```

The following CEL expression substitutes the domain external.example.com with otherdomain.example, but keeps all other domains:

 user.email.endsWith('@external.example.com') 
   ? user.email.extract('{handle}@external.example.com') + '@otherdomain.example' 
   : user.email

Networking options

Name	Description	Required	Default	Available since
`IAP_VERIFY_AUDIENCE`	Enable audience verification, see remarks.	No	`true`	1.8.1
`IAP_BACKEND_SERVICE_ID`	ID of the load balancer backend, see remarks.	No		1.3
`BACKEND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`	Connection timeout for Google API requests, in seconds.	No	`5`	1.5
`BACKEND_READ_TIMEOUT`	Read timeout for Google API requests, in seconds.	No	`20`	1.5
`BACKEND_WRITE_TIMEOUT`	Write timeout for Google API requests, in seconds.	No	`5`	1.5

Remarks:

When IAP_VERIFY_AUDIENCE is true (default), JIT Groups verifies the audience of IAP assertions . On Cloud Run, this requires IAP_BACKEND_SERVICE_ID to contain the backend ID of the load balancer.

When IAP_VERIFY_AUDIENCE is false JIT Groups verifies the authenticity of IAP assertions, but does not verify their audience.

Compatibility

The following options let you configure compatibility with JIT Access 1.x. The options only affect groups in the classic environment.
