PingAM 7.5.1

OpenID Connect node

Lets AM authenticate users of OpenID Connect-compliant resource servers.

As OpenID Connect is an additional layer on top of OAuth 2.0, described in RFC 6749, The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework. OpenID Connect is described in the OpenID Connect Core 1.0 incorporating errata set 1 specification.

This node and its related services, are deprecated.

For information about the legacy/deprecated social authentication node and module implementations, refer to Social authentication in the AM 7 Authentication and Single Sign-On Guide.

The OpenID Connect node implements the Authorization code grant.

Compatibility

Product Compatible?

PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud

PingAM (self-managed)

Yes

Outcomes

  • Account Exists

  • No account Exists

Evaluation continues along the Account Exists path if an account matching the attributes retrieved from the OpenID Connect identity provider is found in the identity store; otherwise, evaluation continues along the No account exists path.

Properties

Property Usage

Client ID (required)

Specifies the client_id parameter as described in section 2.2 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Client Secret (required)

Specifies the client_secret parameter as described in section 2.3 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Authentication Endpoint URL (required)

Specifies the URL to the social provider’s endpoint handling authentication as described in section 3.1 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Example: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth

Access Token Endpoint URL (required)

Specifies the URL to the endpoint handling access tokens as described in section 3.2 of The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Example: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token

User Profile Service URL (required)

Specifies the user profile URL that returns profile information.

If not specified, attributes are mapped from the claims returned by the id_token, and no call to a user profile endpoint is made.

Example: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo

OAuth Scope

Specifies a list of user profile attributes that the client application requires, according to The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework (RFC 6749).

Ensure you use the correct scope delimiter required by the identity provider, including commas or spaces.

The list depends on the permissions that the resource owner, such as the end user, grants to the client application.

Redirect URL

Specifies the URL the user is redirected to by the social identity provider after authenticating.

For authentication trees in AM, set this property to the URL of the UI. For example, https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/XUI/.

Social Provider (required)

Specifies the name of the OpenID Connect provider for which this node is being set up.

Example: Google

Auth ID Key

Specifies the attribute the social identity provider uses to identify an authenticated individual.

Example: sub

Use Basic Auth

Specifies that the client uses HTTP Basic authentication when authenticating to the social provider.

Default: true

Account Provider

Specifies the name of the class that implements the account provider.

Default: org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.common.mapping.DefaultAccountProvider

Account Mapper

Specifies the name of the class that implements the method of locating local accounts based on the attributes returned from the social identity provider.

The provided implementations is org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.oidc.JwtAttributeMapper.

The Account Mapper classes can take two constructor parameters:

  1. A comma-separated list of attributes

  2. A prefix to apply to their values.

For example, to prefix all received property values with openid- before searching, specify:

org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.oidc.JwtAttributeMapper|*|openid-

Attribute Mapper

Specifies the list of fully qualified class names for implementations that map attributes from the authorization server to AM profile attributes.

The provided implementations is org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.oidc.JwtAttributeMapper.

The Attribute Mapper classes can take two constructor parameters to help differentiate between the providers:

  1. A comma-separated list of attributes

  2. A prefix to apply to their values.

For example, to prefix incoming iplanet-am-user-alias-list values with openid-, specify:

org.forgerock.openam.authentication.modules.oidc.JwtAttributeMapper

iplanet-am-user-alias-list

openid-

To prefix all incoming values use an asterisk (*) as the attribute list. This prefixes all values, including email addresses, postal addresses, and so on.

Account Mapper Configuration

Specifies the attribute configuration used to map the account of the user authenticated in the provider to the local identity store in AM.

To add a mapping, specify the name of the provider attribute as the key, and the local attribute to map to as the value.

For example, click Add, then specify sub in the Key field and iplanet-am-user-alias-list in the Value field, and click .

Attribute Mapper Configuration

Specifies how to map provider user attributes to local user profile attributes.

To add a mapping, specify the name of the provider attribute as the Key, and the local attribute to map to as the Value.

For example, click Add, then specify id in the Key field and facebook-id in the Value field, and click .

Examples:

first_name=givenname
last_name=sn
name=cn
email=mail
id=facebook-id
first_name=facebook-fname
last_name=facebook-lname
email=facebook-email

Save attributes in the session

When enabled, saves the attributes in the Attribute Mapper Configuration field to the AM session.

OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Enabled

Controls whether the authentication node carries out additional verification steps when it receives the authorization code from the authorization server.

Specifies that the client must compare the issuer identifier of the authorization server upon registration with the issuer value returned as the iss response parameter. If they do not match, the client must abort the authorization process. The client must also confirm that the authorization server’s response is intended for the client by comparing the client’s client identifier to the value of the client_id response parameter.

When this is enabled, set the Token Issuer property so that the validation can succeed. The authorization code response contains an issuer value (iss) for the client to validate.

Refer to the authorization server’s documentation for the value it uses for the issuer field.

For more information, refer to section 4 of OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation Draft.

Token Issuer (required)

Corresponds to the expected issuer identifier value in the iss field of the ID token.

Example: https://accounts.google.com

OpenID Connect Validation Type (required)

Specifies how to validate the ID token received from the OpenID Connect provider.

This ignores keys specified in JWT headers, such as jku and jwe.

The following options are available to validate an incoming OpenID Connect ID token:

Well Known URL (Default)

Retrieves the provider’s keys based on the information provided in its OpenID Connect configuration URL.

Specify the provider’s configuration URL in the OpenID Connect Validation Value field; for example, https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration.

Client Secret

Validates the ID token signature with a specified client secret key.

Specify the key to use in the OpenID Connect Validation Value field.

JWK URL

Retrieve the necessary JSON web key from the URL that you specify.

Specify the provider’s JWK URI in the OpenID Connect Validation Value field; for example, https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs.

OpenID Connect Validation Value

Provide the URL or secret key used to verify an incoming ID token, depending on the value selected in the OpenID Connect Validation Type property.
