Access Management 7.4.1

Scripted decision node API

A Scripted Decision node calls server-side Groovy or JavaScript to set the outcome for the node programmatically and determine the path the authentication journey takes. The script can perform actions before setting the outcome.

To create and manage decision scripts, refer to Manage scripts (UI). Use the script type Decision node script for authentication trees.

When configuring the Scripted Decision node, add the two outcomes true and false in Outcomes. Each outcome appears as a node endpoint that you connect to other nodes in the tree.

The outcome strings aren’t limited to true and false. Specify a value for each possible outcome and as many outcomes as required by the tree.

Use the action object to set the outcome.

Script bindings

In addition to the common bindings, a decision node script has access to the following specific bindings, predefined objects that AM injects into the script execution context.

AM has introduced a next-generation scripting engine that offers several benefits, including enhanced script bindings.

For decision node scripts, the availability and usage of bindings depend on the script engine version of the script: legacy or next-generation. Both versions are described in this section.

The next-generation script engine is only available to the Scripted decision node API.

For information about migrating to the enhanced scripting engine, refer to Migrating to next-generation scripts.

Set script outcome and script attributes

Use the action object to define the outcome and access functions to set script attributes, such as error or lockout messages, verified identities, or session properties.

Use action instead of the outcome variable to define the exit path from the node. The action object takes precedence and overrides the value set for the outcome variable. You can also use it to perform other script operations.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

Call the goTo method directly on the action binding. Optionally, chain with ActionWrapper functions.

Supported ActionWrapper functions:
Method Information

public ActionWrapper putSessionProperty(String key, String value)

Add a session property.

Refer to Set session properties.

public ActionWrapper removeSessionProperty(String key)

Remove an existing session property.

public ActionWrapper withDescription(String description)

Set a description for the action.

public ActionWrapper withErrorMessage(String message)

Set an error message to display to the end user when the journey reaches the Failure node.

public ActionWrapper withIdentifiedAgent(String agentName)

public ActionWrapper withIdentifiedUser(String username)

Set the identity, authenticated or not, of the user or agent verified to exist in an identity store.

Use these methods to record the type of identified user. If the advanced server property, org.forgerock.am.auth.trees.authenticate.identified.identity is set to true, AM uses the stored identified identities to decide which user to log in.

This lets the authentication tree engine correctly resolve identities that have the same username.

For more information, refer to advanced server properties.

public ActionWrapper withLockoutMessage(String message)

Set an error message to display to the end user when the account is locked or inactive.

 
// Evaluation continues along the "false" outcome
action.goTo("false").withErrorMessage(error);

 // No effect
outcome = "true";

Import the Action class to access the goTo method. Optionally, chain with ActionBuilder functions.

public static ActionBuilder goTo(String outcome)

Supported Action.ActionBuilder functions:
Method Information

public ActionBuilder putSessionProperty(String key, String value)

Add a session property.

Refer to Set session properties.

public ActionBuilder removeSessionProperty(String key)

Remove an existing session property.

public ActionBuilder withDescription(String description)

Set a description for the action.

public ActionBuilder withErrorMessage(String message)

Set an error message to display to the end user when the journey reaches the Failure node.

public ActionBuilder withIdentifiedIdentity(AMIdentity id)

public ActionBuilder withIdentifiedIdentity(String username, IdType id)

Set the identity, authenticated or not, of the user or agent verified to exist in an identity store.

Use these methods to record the type of identified user. If the advanced server property, org.forgerock.am.auth.trees.authenticate.identified.identity is set to true, AM uses the stored identified identities to decide who to log in.

This lets the authentication tree engine correctly resolve identities that have the same username.

For more information, refer to advanced server properties.

public ActionBuilder withLockoutMessage(String message)

Set an error message to display to the end user when the account is locked or inactive.

public ActionBuilder withStage(String stage)

Set a stage name to return to the client to aid the rendering of the UI. The property is only sent if the script also sends callbacks.

For more information, refer to ActionBuilder.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

// Evaluation continues along the "false" outcome
action = Action.goTo("false").withErrorMessage(error).build();

 // No effect
outcome = "true";

A script can also use the action object to set session properties.

Access request header

A script can access the headers in the login request with the methods of the requestHeaders object.

The script has access to a copy of the headers. Changing their values does not affect the request.

String[] requestHeaders.get(String headerName)

Returns an array of the values in the named request header, or null, if the property is not set.

Header names are case-sensitive.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

if (requestHeaders.get("user-agent").get(0).indexOf("Chrome") !== -1) {
    action.goTo("true");
} else {
    action.goTo("false");
}
var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

if (requestHeaders.get("user-agent").get(0).indexOf("Chrome") !== -1) {
    action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
} else {
    action = fr.Action.goTo("false").build();
}

Access request parameters

A script can access the query parameters in the login request with the methods of the requestParameters object.

The script has access to a copy of the parameters. Changing their values doesn’t affect the request.

String[] requestParameters.get(String parameterName)

Return an array of the values in the named request parameter, or null, if the parameter isn’t available.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

var service;
var authIndexType = requestParameters.get("authIndexType");

if (authIndexType && String(authIndexType.get(0)) === "service") {
    service = requestParameters.get("authIndexValue").get(0);
}

if (service) {
    nodeState.putShared("service", service);
}
action.goTo("true");
var fr = JavaImporter(
    org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var service;
var authIndexType = requestParameters.get("authIndexType");

if (authIndexType && String(authIndexType.get(0)) === "service") {
    service = requestParameters.get("authIndexValue").get(0);
}

if (service) {
    nodeState.putShared("service", service);
}
action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();

In JavaScript, the data type (typeof) of requestParameters values is object.

Convert the values to strings before using strict equality comparisons.

Access shared state data

A script can access the shared state of the tree with the methods of the nodeState object.

The sharedState and transientState bindings are deprecated, and are removed in the next-generation scripting engine.

You can still access the different states with the nodeState object, which replaces the sharedState and transientState bindings.

For example, use nodeState.putShared() instead of sharedState.put(), and nodeState.putTransient() instead of transientState.put(). Use nodeState.get() to retrieve shared and transient state properties.

There are three types of state:

Shared

Non-sensitive state.

Transient

Sensitive state.

Transient state data is never sent back to the user’s browser in a callback so doesn’t need to be encrypted. The transient state is for sensitive data and for data not required after the next callback.

Secure

Encrypted sensitive state.

Secure state data is sent back to the user’s browser encrypted as part of the shared state object.

Transient state data is promoted to secure state data when:

  • A callback to the user is about to occur.

  • A downstream node is detected in the journey, requesting data in the transient state as script input.

Unless the downstream node explicitly requests the secure state data by name, the authentication journey removes it from the node state after processing the next callback.

For example, a node in a registration journey stores a user’s password in transient state. The node sends a callback to the user before an inner tree node, downstream in the journey, consumes that password. As part of the callback, the journey assesses what to add to the secure state. It does this by checking the state inputs that downstream nodes in the journey require. Nodes that only request * are ignored, as this would result in putting everything that’s in transient state into secure state, and retaining sensitive information longer than necessary.

If a downstream node requires the password, it must therefore explicitly request it as state input, even if it lists the * wildcard as input.
<returnvalue> nodeState.get(String propertyName)

Returns the value of the named property.

The value may come from the transient, secure, or shared states, in that order. If the same property is available in several states, the method returns the value of the property in the transient state first.

If the property isn’t set, the method returns null.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

Returns the value as an Object. The JavaScript return type is coerced, so you no longer need to call functions such as asString() or asMap().

var currentAuthLevel = nodeState.get("authLevel");
var thePassword = nodeState.get("password");

action.goTo("true");

Returns the value as a JsonValue. Use functions such as asString() or asMap() to convert to the expected type.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var currentAuthLevel = nodeState.get("authLevel");
var thePassword = nodeState.get("password").asString();

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
<returnvalue> nodeState.getObject(String propertyName)

Returns the value of the named property.

If the value is a map, this method combines and returns the values stored in transient, secure, and shared state.

If the property isn’t set, the method returns null.

The getObject method returns an immutable object. If you want to update the object, use nodeState.get(String propertyName) instead. The get method doesn’t combine values but returns the first value found in transient, secure, or shared state (in that order). You can then modify the returned object.

For example:

var attributes = nodeState.get("objectAttributes");
if (attributes) {
  attributes.put("mail", "test@example.com");
  nodeState.putShared("objectAttributes", attributes);
}

action.goTo("true");

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

Returns the value as an Object. The JavaScript return type is coerced.

var attributes = nodeState.getObject("objectAttributes");

action.goTo("true");

Returns the value as a JsonValue. Use functions such as asString() or asMap() to convert to the expected type.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var attributes = nodeState.getObject("objectAttributes").asMap();

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
<returnvalue> nodeState.putShared(String propertyName, String propertyValue)

Sets the value of the named shared state property.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

Returns a modified instance of NodeStateScriptWrapper.

try {
  var thePassword = nodeState.get("password");
} catch (e) {
  nodeState.putShared("errorMessage", e.toString());
}

action.goTo("true");

Returns a modified instance of NodeState.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);
try {
  var thePassword = nodeState.get("password").asString();
} catch (e) {
  nodeState.putShared("errorMessage", e.toString());
}

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
<returnvalue> nodeState.putTransient(String propertyName, String propertyValue)

Sets the value of the named transient state property.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

Returns a modified instance of NodeStateScriptWrapper.

nodeState.putTransient("sensitiveKey", "sensitiveValue");

action.goTo("true");

Returns a modified instance of NodeState.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

nodeState.putTransient("sensitiveKey", "sensitiveValue");

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();

Access profile data

A script can access profile data through the methods of the idRepository object.

Get attribute values

Returns the values of the named attribute for the named user.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

var username = nodeState.get("username");
var attribute = "mail";

// Get identity object separately
var identity = idRepository.getIdentity(username);

// Returns all values as an array, for example: ["test@example.com", "user@example.com"]
identity.getAttributeValues(attribute);

// Returns the first value, for example:  test@example.com
identity.getAttributeValues(attribute)[0];

// If no attribute by this name is found, the result is an empty array: []
identity.getAttributeValues("non-existent-attribute");

action.goTo("true");
var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var username = nodeState.get("username").asString();
var attribute = "mail";

// Returns all values, for example: [test@example.com, user@example.com]
idRepository.getAttribute(username, attribute).toString();

// Returns the first value, for example:  test@example.com
idRepository.getAttribute(username, attribute).iterator().next();

// Returns a value at the specified index, for example: user@example.com
idRepository.getAttribute(username, attribute).toArray()[1];

// If no attribute by this name is found, the result is an empty array: []
idRepository.getAttribute(username, "non-existent-attribute").toString();

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
Set attribute values

Sets the named attribute as specified by the attribute value for the named user, and persists the result in the user’s profile.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

var username = nodeState.get("username");

// Get identity separately
var identity = idRepository.getIdentity(username);

// Set the attribute directly on the identity object
identity.setAttribute("mail", ["test@example.com"]);

try {
  // Explicitly persist data
  // throws an exception if setAttribute failed
  identity.store();
  action.goTo("true");
} catch(e) {
  logger.error("Unable to persist attribute. " + e);
  action.goTo("false");
}

You must explicitly call store() to persist changes to attribute values.

 
var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var username = nodeState.get("username").asString();

// Set attribute using the idRepository object
idRepository.setAttribute(username, "mail", ["test@example.com"]);

try {
  // check setAttribute was successful
  var mail = idRepository.getAttribute(username, "mail").iterator().next();
  action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
} catch(e) {
  logger.error("Unable to persist attribute. " + e);
  action = fr.Action.goTo("false").build();
}
Add attribute values

Add an attribute value to the list of attribute values associated with the attribute name for a particular user.

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

var username = nodeState.get("username");

// Get identity separately
var identity = idRepository.getIdentity(username);

// Add a value as a string.
identity.addAttribute("mail", "user@example.com");

try {
  // Explicitly persist data
  // throws an exception if addAttribute failed
  identity.store();
  action.goTo("true");
} catch(e) {
  logger.error("Unable to persist attribute. " + e);
  action.goTo("false");
}

You must explicitly call store() to persist changes to attribute values.

 
var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var username = nodeState.get("username").asString();
var attr = "mail";

// get number of existing attribute values
var mail = idRepository.getAttribute(username, attr).toArray();

// Add attribute using the idRepository object
idRepository.addAttribute(username, attr, ["test@example.com"]);

// check addAttribute was successful
var updatedmail = idRepository.getAttribute(username, attr).toArray();
if (updatedmail.length > mail.length) {
  action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
} else {
  logger.error("Unable to add attribute.");
  action = fr.Action.goTo("false").build();
}

Set session properties

A script can set session properties with the fields and methods of the Action interface.

The following example sets the outcome to true, and adds a custom session property:

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

action.goTo("true").putSessionProperty("mySessionProperty", "myPropertyValue");
var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);
action = fr.Action.goTo("true").putSessionProperty("mySessionProperty", "myPropertyValue").build();

When adding a session property, make sure it’s in the AM allowlist. AM does not allow the script to add it to sessions unless it’s in the allowlist.

  1. In AM admin UI, under Realms > Realm Name > Services, make sure the Session Property Whitelist Service is configured.

    If not, configure the service with the default settings.

  2. Add the property name to the Allowlisted Session Property Names list unless it’s already present.

For information on allowlisting session properties, refer to Session Property Whitelist service

Add the script to a Scripted Decision node in your authentication journey. When a user authenticates successfully, AM adds the property to their session, as shown in the following output for session introspection:

{
  "username": "014c54bd-6078-4639-8316-8ce0e7746fa4",
  "universalId": "id=014c54bd-6078-4639-8316-8ce0e7746fa4,ou=user,o=alpha,ou=services,ou=am-config",
  "realm": "/alpha",
  "latestAccessTime": "2022-10-31T11:03:25Z",
  "maxIdleExpirationTime": "2022-10-31T11:33:25Z",
  "maxSessionExpirationTime": "2022-10-31T13:03:24Z",
  "properties": {
    "AMCtxId": "de5abe95-db97-4354-9d32-aab660ea23a3-4252446",
    "mySessionProperty": "myPropertyValue"
  }
}

Existing session properties

The existingSession binding is only present when performing a session upgrade. Any properties added by nodes earlier in the journey only appear on the user’s new session when the journey completes; such properties are not available in the existingSession binding.

A script can access existing session properties during a session upgrade request with the existingSession.get method.

String existingSession.get(String propertyName)

Returns the string value of the named existing session property, or null, if the property is not set.

If the current request is not a session upgrade and does not provide an existing session, the existingSession variable is not declared. Check for a declaration before attempting to access the variable.

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

if (typeof existingSession !== 'undefined') {
    var existingAuthLevel = existingSession.get("AuthLevel")
} else {
    nodeState.putShared("errorMessage", "Variable existingSession not declared - not a session upgrade.")
}

action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();

Generate and validate JWTs

Use the jwtAssertion and jwtValidator bindings to include JWT operations in your script.

The jwtAssertion binding lets you generate a signed and/or encrypted JWT, for example, for securely transporting JWT claims that can be verified later in the journey through an emailed magic link.

The jwtValidator binding lets you decrypt and validate JWTs; for example, to verify JWT claims from another system such as IG.

String jwtAssertion.generateJwt(Map<String, Object> jwtData)

Provide the following data for generating a JWT assertion:

Data field Description

jwtType

(Required) The type of JWT to generate: SIGNED, SIGNED_THEN_ENCRYPTED, or ENCRYPTED_THEN_SIGNED.

Example nameCallback and passwordCallback 
if (callbacks.isEmpty()) {
  // Request callbacks
  callbacksBuilder.nameCallback("User Name", "User Name");
  callbacksBuilder.passwordCallback("Password", false);
} else {
  // Callbacks returned from browser, save username and password
  var username = callbacks.getNameCallbacks().get(0);
  var password = callbacks.getPasswordCallbacks().get(0);

if (callbacks.isEmpty()) {
  // Adds the key-value pair to the JSON response
  callbacksBuilder.metadataCallback(data);

  // Displays a message to the end user
  // Message type: INFORMATION (0), WARNING(1), or ERROR (2)
  callbacksBuilder.textOutputCallback(1, "Hi " + firstName + ", please update your postal code");
}
action.goTo("true");
Example choiceCallback

  }
}

Access IDM scripting functions

The openidm binding lets you manage an IDM resource by calling scripting functions directly from a decision node script.

The openidm binding is only available when AM is integrated with IDM.

The following CRUDPAQ functions are supported:

  • create

  • read

  • update

  • delete

  • patch

  • action

  • query

For more information, refer to Scripting functions.

The openidm provides administrative access to IDM functions. Use it with caution to prevent the exposure of sensitive data.

The following example illustrates how to create a user, update their details, send an email, and finally delete the user:

  • Next-generation

  • Legacy

// create
var newUser = openidm.create("managed/user", null, {
  "userName": "testUser",
  "mail": "foo@bar.com",
  "givenName": "Foo",
  "sn": "Bar"});

var userID = newUser._id;

// read - returns entire json object
var user = openidm.read("managed/user/" + userID);

// update - replace object
user.description = 'New description';
var updatedUser = openidm.update("managed/user/" + userID, null, user);

// patch - selectively modify object
var patchedUser = openidm.patch("managed/user/" + userID, null, [{
        "operation":"replace",
        "field":"/mail",
        "value":"new@example.com"
}]);

// send email
var actionResponse = openidm.action("external/email", "send", {
    "from": "admin@example.com",
    "to": patchedUser.mail,
    "subject": "Example email",
    "body": "This is an example"
});

// delete
openidm.delete('managed/user/'+ userID, null);

action.goTo("true";

Not available in Legacy bindings

Accessing credentials and secrets

Scripts used in a scripted decision node can access the secrets configured in AM secret stores on the file system.

For example, a script can access credentials or secrets defined in a file system secret volume in order to make outbound calls to a third-party REST service, without hard-coding those credentials in the script.

Methods

String secrets.getGenericSecret(String secretId)

Returns the value of the specified secret ID.

If the secret ID is defined at the realm level, its value is returned; otherwise, the script returns the value defined at the global level.

Only secret IDs that begin with the string scripted.node. are accessible to scripts.

For more information on creating secret IDs in a secret store, refer to Secret stores.

Use the following functions to format the returned secret value:

getAsBytes()

Retrieve the secret value in byte[] format.

getAsUtf8()

Retrieve the secret value in UTF-8 format.

The following example scripts show how to get the value (passwd) from a secret ID named scripted.node.secret.id. They use the value in a basic authentication header to access the http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/{user}/{passwd} service:

  • JavaScript

  • Groovy

var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);

var username = "demoUser"
var password = secrets.getGenericSecret("scripted.node.secret.id").getAsUtf8()

var auth = java.util.Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(java.lang.String(username + ":" + password).getBytes())

var request = new org.forgerock.http.protocol.Request()
request.setMethod("GET")
request.setUri("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/demoUser/passwd")
request.getHeaders().add("content-type","application/json; charset=utf-8")
request.getHeaders().add("Authorization", "Basic " + auth)

var response = httpClient.send(request).get()
var jsonResult = JSON.parse(response.getEntity().getString())
logger.error("Script result: " + JSON.stringify(jsonResult))
if (jsonResult.hasOwnProperty("authenticated")) {
  action = fr.Action.goTo("success").build();
} else {
  action = fr.Action.goTo("failure").build();
}
def username = "demoUser"
def password = secrets.getGenericSecret("scripted.node.secret.id").getAsUtf8()

def auth = java.util.Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((username + ":" + password).getBytes())

def request = new org.forgerock.http.protocol.Request()
request.setMethod("GET")
request.setUri("http://httpbin.org/basic-auth/demoUser/passwd")
request.getHeaders().add("content-type","application/json; charset=utf-8")
request.getHeaders().add("Authorization", "Basic " + auth)

def response = httpClient.send(request).get()
if (response.status.successful) {
    logger.error("outcome = success")
    outcome = "success"
}  else {
    logger.error("outcome = failure")
    outcome = "failure"
}

To use these sample scripts, add the following classes to the class allowlist property in the AUTHENTICATION_TREE_DECISION_NODE scripting engine configuration:

  • org.mozilla.javascript.ConsString

  • java.util.Base64

  • java.util.Base64$Encoder

For details, refer to Scripting environment.

Audit information

A script can add information to audit log entries with the auditEntryDetail variable. The auditEntryDetail variable can hold either a string or a JSON object.

AM appends the value of the variable to the authentication audit logs, which corresponds to the am-authentication log source.

The following example shows how to add a string to the authentication audit log entry:

auditEntryDetail = "Additional audit information"

AM records it in the payload > entries > info > nodeExtraLogging > auditInfo field of the audit log entry:

{
  "payload": {
    "_id": "de5abe95-db97-4354-9d32-aab660ea23a3-4392064",
    "component": "Authentication",
    "entries": [{
      "info": {
        "authLevel": "0",
