Authenticate Requests from PingSources #7320

@creydr

Description

@creydr

As the Eventing OIDC feature track describes, sources must authenticate their requests. Therefor the PingSource must request a JWT and add it as a Bearer Token to its Authentication header.

When having #7175, we need to update the PingSource to add the Authentication header with a JWT to all outgoing requests.

In particular this means for the PingSource adapter:

  • when the sink has no audience defined:
    • no change in behavior
  • when the the sink has an audience defined:
    • Request a JWT via Provide a library for OIDC token management #7175
    • Add it as an http header to the cloudeventsSDK client via something like
      headers := http.HeaderFrom(ctx)
      headers.Set("Authentication", fmt.Sprintf("Bearer %s", jwt))
      ctx = http.WithCustomHeader(ctx, headers)
      
      client.Send(ctx, event)
