Handlers
Handler objects process a request and context, and return a response. The way the response is created depends on the type of handler.
Chain
Dispatches a request and context to an ordered list of filters, and then finally to a handler.
Filters process the incoming request and context, pass it on to the next filter, and then to the handler. After the handler produces a response, the filters process the outgoing response and context as it makes its way to the client. Note that the same filter can process both the incoming request and the outgoing response but most filters do one or the other.
A Chain can be placed in a configuration anywhere that a handler can be placed.
Unlike ChainOfFilters, Chain finishes by dispatching the request to a handler. For more information, refer to ChainOfFilters.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "Chain",
"config": {
"filters": [ Filter reference, ... ],
"handler": Handler reference
}
}
Properties
"filters"
: array of Filter references, required-
An array of names of filter objects defined in the heap, and inline filter configuration objects.
The chain dispatches the request to these filters in the order they appear in the array.
See also Filters.
"handler"
: Handler reference, required-
Either the name of a handler object defined in the heap, or an inline handler configuration object.
The chain dispatches to this handler after the request has traversed all of the specified filters.
See also Handlers.
Example
{
"name": "LoginChain",
"type": "Chain",
"config": {
"filters": [ "LoginFilter" ],
"handler": "ReverseProxyHandler"
}
}
ClientHandler
Sends requests to third-party services that are accessible through HTTP, and reconstructs the response from the received bytes. A third-party service is one that IG calls for data, such as an HTTP API or AM, or one to which IG submits data. When IG relays a request to a third-party service, IG is acting as a client of the service. IG is client-side.
Consider the following comparison of the ClientHandler and ReverseProxyHandler:
ClientHandler | ReverseProxyHandler | |
---|---|---|
Use this handler to … |
Send requests to third-party services accessed within a route. The service can be AM or an HTTP API. The service can be an HTTP endpoint, such as AM, IDM, Identity Cloud, or any custom HTTP API. |
Send requests to the final service accessed by a route. The service can be the final downstream application. |
If the service does not respond in time, this handler … |
Propagates the error through the Promise flow. If the error is not handled within the route, for example, by a FailureHandler,
the handler returns a |
Stops processing the request, and returns a |
When uploading or downloading large files, prevent timeout issues by increasing
the value of soTimeout
, and using a streaming mode, as follows:
Configure the streamingEnabled
property of
AdminHttpApplication.

Properties
"vertx"
: object, optional-
Vert.x-specific configuration for the handler when IG is client-side. When IG is acting server-side, configure the
connectors:vertx
property of admin.json.When IG sends requests to a proxied application or requests services from a third-party application, IG is client-side. IG is acting as a client of the application, and the application is acting as a server. Vert.x options are described in HttpClientOptions.
The
vertx
object is read as a map, and values are evaluated as configuration expressions.For properties where IG provides its own first-class configuration, Vert.x configuration options are disallowed, and the IG configuration option takes precedence over Vert.x options configured in
vertx
. The following Vert.x configuration options are disallowed client-side:-
alpnVersions
-
connectTimeout
-
enabledCipherSuites
-
enabledSecureTransportProtocols
-
http2ClearTextUpgrade
-
idleTimeout
-
idleTimeoutUnit
-
keyCertOptions
-
keyStoreOptions
-
maxWaitQueueSize
-
pemKeyCertOptions
-
pemTrustOptions
-
pfxKeyCertOptions
-
pfxTrustOptions
-
port
-
protocolVersion
-
proxyOptions
-
ssl
-
trustOptions
-
trustStoreOptions
-
useAlpn
-
verifyHost
The following example configures the Vert.x configuration when IG is acting client-side. When IG is acting server-side, configure the
connectors:vertx
property ofadmin.json
:{ "vertx": { "maxWebSocketFrameSize": 128000, "maxWebSocketMessageSize": 256000, "compressionLevel": 4, "maxHeaderSize": 16384 } }
The following example configures HTTP/2 connections when IG is acting client-side. The configuration allows IG to make HTTP/2 requests with large headers. When IG is acting server-side, configure the
connectors:vertx
property ofadmin.json
:{ "vertx": { "initialSettings": { "maxHeaderListSize": 16384 } } }
-
"connections"
: configuration expression<number>, optional-
The maximum number of concurrent HTTP connections in the client connection pool.
For information about the interaction between this property and
waitQueueSize
, see the description ofwaitQueueSize
.Default: 64
- “waitQueueSize”: configuration expression<number>, optional
-
The maximum number of outbound requests allowed to queue when no downstream connections are available. Outbound requests received when the queue is full are rejected.
Use this property to limit memory use when there is a backlog of outbound requests, for example, when the protected application or third-party service is slow.
Configure
waitQueueSize
as follows:-
Not set (default): The wait queue is calculated as the square of
connections
.-
If
connections
is not configured, then its default of64
is used, giving thewaitQueueSize
of4096
. -
If the square of
connections
exceeds the maximum integer value for the Java JVM, the maximum integer value for the Java JVM is used.
-
-
-1
: The wait queue is unlimited. Requests received when there are no available connections are queued without limit. -
0
: There is no wait queue. Requests received when there are no available connections are rejected. -
A value that is less than the square of
connections
:When the configuration is loaded, the configured value is used. IG generates a warning that the
waitQueueSize
is too small for theconnections
size, and recommends a different value. -
A value where
waitQueueSize
plusconnections
exceeds the maximum integer value for the Java JVM:When the configuration is loaded, the
waitQueueSize
is reduced to the maximum integer value for the Java JVM minus the value ofconnections
. IG generates a warning.
Consider the following example configuration of
connections
andwaitQueueSize
:{ "handler" : { "name" : "proxy-handler", "type" : "ReverseProxyHandler", "MyCapture" : "all", "config": { "soTimeout": "10 seconds", "connectionTimeout": "10 seconds", "connections": 64, "waitQueueSize": 100 } }, "baseURI" : "http://app.example.com:8080", "condition" : "${find(request.uri.path, '/')}" }
IG can propagate the request to the sample application using 64 connections. When the connections are consumed, up to 100 subsequent requests are queued until a connection is freed. Effectively IG can accommodate 164 requests, although user concurrency delay means more may be handled. Requests received when the waitQueue is full are rejected.
Default: Not set
-
"connectionTimeout"
: configuration expression<duration>, optional-
Time to wait to establish a connection, expressed as a duration
Default: 10 seconds

-
HTTP/1.1
:-
For HTTP and HTTPS, process requests using HTTP/1.1.
-
-
Not set:
-
For HTTP, process requests using HTTP/1.1.
-
For HTTPS with
alpn
enabled in ClientTlsOptions, process requests using HTTP/1.1, with an HTTP/2 upgrade request. If the targeted server can use HTTP/2, the client uses HTTP/2.For HTTPS with
alpn
disabled in ClientTlsOptions, process requests using HTTP/1.1, without an HTTP/2 upgrade request.Note that
alpn
is enabled by default in ClientTlsOptions.
-
Default: Not set
-
In HTTP/1.1 request messages, a In scripts or custom extensions that use HTTP/2, use
|
"http2PriorKnowledge"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag for whether the client should have prior knowledge that the server supports HTTP/2. This property is for cleartext (non-TLS requests) only, and is used only when
protocolVersion
is HTTP/2.-
false
: The client checks whether the server supports HTTP/2 by sending an HTTP/1.1 request to upgrade the connection to HTTP/2:-
If the server supports HTTP/2, the server upgrades the connection to HTTP/2, and subsequent requests are processed over HTTP/2.
-
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the connection is not upgraded, and subsequent requests are processed over HTTP/1.
-
-
true
: The client does not check that the server supports HTTP/2. The client sends HTTP/2 requests to the server, assuming that the server supports HTTP/2.
Default:
false
-
"proxyOptions"
: ProxyOptions reference, optional-
A proxy server to which requests can be submitted. Use this property to relay requests to other parts of the network. For example, use it to submit requests from an internal network to the internet.

Default: Connections to TLS-protected endpoints are not configured.
- `"asyncBehavior": configuration expression<enumeration>, optional
-
Not supported
"retries"
: object, optional-
Enable and configure retry for requests.
During the execution of a request to a remote server, if a runtime exception occurs, or a condition is met, IG waits for a delay, and then schedules a new execution of the request. IG tries until the allowed number of retries is reached or the execution succeeds.
A warning-level entry is logged if all retry attempts fail; a debug-level entry is logged if a retry succeeds.
"retries": { "enabled": configuration expression<boolean>, "condition": runtime expression<boolean>, "executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference, "count": configuration expression<number>, "delay": configuration expression<duration>, } }
"enabled"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
Enable retries.
Default:
true
"condition"
: runtine expression<boolean>, optional-
An inline IG expression to define a condition based on the response, such as an error code.
The condition is evaluated as follows:
-
If
true
, IG retries the request until the value incount
is reached. -
If
false
, IG retries the request only if a runtime exception occurs, until the value incount
is reached.Default:
${false}
-
"executor"
: ScheduledExecutorService reference, optional-
The ScheduledExecutorService to use for scheduling delayed execution of the request.
Default:
ScheduledExecutorService
See also ScheduledExecutorService.
"count"
: configuration expression<number>, optional-
The maximum number of retries to perform. After this threshold is passed and if the request is still not successful, then the ClientHandler propagates the failure.
Retries caused by any runtime exception or triggered condition are included in the count.
Default:
5
"delay"
: _configuration expression<duration>, optional-
The time to wait before retrying the request.
After a failure to send the request, if the number of retries is below the threshold, a new attempt is scheduled with the executor service after this delay.
Default:
10 seconds
The following example configures a retry when a downstream component returns a
502 Bad Gateway
response code:"retries": { "enabled": true, "condition": "${response.status.code == 502}" }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request only once, after a 1-minute delay:
{ "retries": { "count": 1, "delay": "1 minute" } }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request at most 20 times, every second:
{ "retries": { "count": 20, "delay": "1 second" } }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request 5 times, every 10 seconds (default values), with a dedicated executor:
{ "retries": { "executor": { "type": "ScheduledExecutorService", "config": { "corePoolSize": 20 } } } }
"circuitBreaker"
: object, optional-
Enable and configure a circuit breaker to trip when the number of failures exceeds a configured threshold. Calls to downstream services are stopped, and a runtime exception is returned. The circuit breaker is reset after the configured delay.
{ "circuitBreaker": { "enabled": configuration expression<boolean>, "maxFailures": configuration expression<integer>, "openDuration": configuration expression<duration>, "openHandler": Handler reference, "slidingCounter": object, "executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference } }
"enabled"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag to enable the circuit breaker.
Default:
true
"maxFailures"
: configuration expression<number>, required-
The maximum number of failed requests allowed in the window given by
size
, before the circuit breaker trips. The value must be greater than zero.When
retries
is set, the circuit breaker does not count retried requests as failures. Bear this in mind when you setmaxFailures
.In the following example, a request can fail and then be retried three times. If it fails the third retry, the request has failed four times, but the circuit breaker counts only one failure.
{ "retries": { "count": 3, "delay": "1 second" } }
"openDuration"
: configuration expression<duration>, required-
The duration for which the circuit stays open after the circuit breaker trips. The
executor
schedules the circuit to be closed after this duration. "openHandler"
: Handler reference, optional-
The Handler to call when the circuit is open.
Default: A handler that throws a RuntimeException with a "circuit-breaker open" message.
"slidingCounter"
: object, optional-
A sliding window error counter. The circuit breaker trips when the number of failed requests in the number of requests given by
size
reachesmaxFailures
.The following image illustrates how the sliding window counts failed requests:
{ "slidingCounter": { "size": configuration expression<number> } }
"size"
: configuration expression<number>, required-
The size of the sliding window in which to count errors.
The value of
size
must be greater than zero, and greater than the value ofmaxFailures
, otherwise an exception is thrown.

: ScheduledExecutorService reference, optional-
A ScheduledExecutorService to schedule closure of the circuit after the duration given by
openDuration
.Default: The default ScheduledExecutorService in the heap
"hostnameVerifier"
: configuration expression<enumeration>, optional-

property instead to configure ClientTlsOptions. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.The way to handle hostname verification for outgoing SSL connections. Use one of the following values:
-
ALLOW_ALL
: Allow a certificate issued by a trusted CA for any hostname or domain to be accepted for a connection to any domain.This setting allows a certificate issued for one company to be accepted as a valid certificate for another company. To prevent the compromise of TLS connections, use this setting in development mode only. In production, use
STRICT
. -
STRICT
: Match the hostname either as the value of the the first CN, or any of the subject-alt names.A wildcard can occur in the CN, and in any of the subject-alt names. Wildcards match one domain level, so

This property is deprecated and is not considered secure. Use passwordSecretId
instead. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Password to access the proxy server.
"systemProxy"
: boolean, optional-
This property is deprecated; use proxyOptions
instead. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Submit outgoing requests to a system-defined proxy, set by the following system properties or their HTTPS equivalents:
-
http.proxyHost
, the host name of the proxy server. -
http.proxyPort
, the port number of the proxy server. The default is80
. -
http.nonProxyHosts
, a list of hosts that should be reached directly, bypassing the proxy.
This property can’t be used with a proxy that requires a username and password. Use the property

The value of this field can be a single reference, or an array of references.
Provide either the name(s) of key manager object(s) defined in the heap, or specify the configuration object(s) inline.
You can specify either a single key manager, as in
"keyManager": "MyKeyManager"
, or an array of key managers, as in"keyManager": [ "FirstKeyManager", "SecondKeyManager" ]
.If you do not configure a key manager, then the client cannot present a certificate, and so cannot play the client role in mutual authentication.
"sslCipherSuites"
: array of strings, optional-
This property is deprecated; use the tls
property instead to configure ClientTlsOptions. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Array of cipher suite names, used to restrict the cipher suites allowed when negotiating transport layer security for an HTTPS connection.
For information about the available cipher suite names, refer to the documentation for the Java virtual machine (JVM) where you run IG. For Oracle Java, refer to the list of JSSE Cipher Suite Names.
Default: Allow any cipher suite supported by the JVM.
"sslContextAlgorithm"
: string, optional-
This property is deprecated; use the tls
property instead to configure ClientTlsOptions. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.The SSLContext algorithm name, as listed in the table of SSLContext Algorithms for the Java Virtual Machine used by IG.
Default: TLS
"sslEnabledProtocols"
: array of strings, optional-

DispatchHandler
When a request is handled, the first condition in the list of conditions is
evaluated. If the condition expression yields true
, the request is
dispatched to the associated handler with no further processing. Otherwise,
the next condition in the list is evaluated.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "DispatchHandler",
"config": {
"bindings": [
{
"condition": runtime expression<boolean>,
"handler": Handler reference,
"baseURI": runtime expression<url>,
}, ...
]
}
}
Properties
"bindings"
: array of objects, required-
One or more condition and handler bindings.
"condition"
: runtime expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag to indicate that a condition is met. The condition can be based on the request, context, or IG runtime environment, such as system properties or environment variables.
Conditions are defined using IG expressions, as described in Expressions, and are evaluated as follows:
-
true
: The request is dispatched to the associated handler. -
false
: The next condition in the list is evaluated.
For example conditions and requests that match them, refer to Example conditions and requests.
Default:
${true}
-
"handler"
: Handler reference, required-
A Handler to dispatch the request to if the associated condition yields
true
. "baseURI"
: runtime expression<url>,optional-
A base URI that overrides the existing request URI. Only scheme, host, and port are used in the supplied URI.
The result of the expression must be a string that represents a valid URI, but is not a real
java.net.URI
object. For example, it would be incorrect to use${request.uri}
, which is not a String but a MutableUri.In the following example, the binding condition looks up the hostname of the request. If it finds a match, the value is used for the
baseURI
. Otherwise, the default value is used:{ "properties": { "uris": { "app1.example.com": { "baseURI": "http://backend1:8080/" }, "app2.example.com": { "baseURI": "http://backend2:8080/" }, "default": { "baseURI": "http://backend3:8080/" } } }, "handler": { "type": "DispatchHandler", "config": { "bindings": [ { "condition": "${not empty uris[contexts.router.originalUri.host]}", "baseURI": "${uris[contexts.router.originalUri.host].baseURI}", "handler": "ReverseProxyHandler" }, { "baseURI": "${uris['default'].baseURI}", "handler": "ReverseProxyHandler" } ] } } }
Default: No change to the base URI
Example
For an example that uses a DispatchHandler, refer to Implement not-enforced URIs with a DispatchHandler
ForgeRockClientHandler
The ForgeRockClientHandler is a Handler available by default on the heap that chains a default ClientHandler with a TransactionIdOutboundFilter.
This Handler supports ForgeRock audit by supporting the initiation or propagation of audit information from IG to the audit framework. For more information, see AuditService.
The following default ForgeRockClientHandler is available as a default object on the heap, and can be referenced by the name ForgeRockClientHandler.
{
"name": "ForgeRockClientHandler",
"type": "Chain",
"config": {
"filters": [ "TransactionIdOutboundFilter" ],
"handler": "ClientHandler"
}
}
Example
For an example that uses ForgeRockClientHandler to log interactions between IG and AM, see Decorating IG’s interactions with AM.
JwkSetHandler
Expose cryptographic keys as a JWK set. Use this handler so that a downstream application can reuse the exposed keys for their assigned purpose.
Consider the following limitations:
-
When the public key is not available, the corresponding private key cannot be exposed. Note, however, that it is not recommended to expose private keys as JWK.
-
Keys in secure storage, such as a Hardware Security Module (HSM) or remote server, cannot be exposed.
For a description of how secrets are managed, refer to Secrets.
For information about JWKs and JWK Sets, refer to JSON Web Key (JWK).
Usage
{

"type": "JwkSetHandler",
"config": {
"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference,
"purposes": [ object, ... ]
}
}
"secretsProvider"
: SecretsProvider reference, required-
The SecretsProvider to use to resolve the secret. Provide either the name of a SecretsProvider object defined in the heap, or specify a SecretsProvider object inline.

{
"purposes": [
{
"secretId": configuration expression<secret-id>,
"keyUsage": configuration expression<enumeration>
},
...
]
}
"secretId"
: configuration expression<secret-id>, required-
The secret ID of the key to be exposed in the JwkSet.
This secret ID must point to a
CryptoKey
. "keyUsage"
: configuration expression<enumeration>, required-
The allowed use of the key:
-
AGREE_KEY
: Export the private key used in the key agreement protocol, for example, Diffie-Hellman. -
ENCRYPT
: Export the public key used to encrypt data. -
DECRYPT
: Export the private key used to decrypt data. -
SIGN
: Export the private key used to sign data. -
VERIFY
: Export the public key used to verify signature data. -
WRAP_KEY
: Export the public key used to encrypt (wrap) other keys. -
UNWRAP_KEY
: Export the private key used to decrypt (unwrap) other keys.
-
Examples
This example uses a JwkSetHandler to expose a signing key used by the JwtBuilderFilter:
-
Set an environment variable for the base64-encoded secret to sign the JWT:
$ export SIGNING_KEY_SECRET_ID='cGFzc3dvcmQ='
-
Add the following route to IG:
$HOME/.openig/config/routes/jwksethandler.json
appdata\OpenIG\config\routes\jwksethandler.json
{ "name": "jwksethandler", "condition": "${find(request.uri.path, '/jwksethandler')}", "heap": [ { "name": "SecretKeyPropertyFormat-1", "type": "SecretKeyPropertyFormat", "config": { "format": "BASE64", "algorithm": "AES" } }, { "name": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1", "type": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore", "config": { "mappings": [{ "secretId": "signing.key.secret.id", "format": "SecretKeyPropertyFormat-1" }] } } ], "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "name": "JwtBuilderFilter-1", "type": "JwtBuilderFilter", "config": { "template": { "name": "${contexts.userProfile.commonName}", "email": "${contexts.userProfile.rawInfo.mail[0]}" }, "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1", "signature": { "secretId": "signing.key.secret.id", "algorithm": "HS256" } } } ], "handler": { "type": "JwkSetHandler", "config": { "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1", "purposes": [{ "secretId": "signing.key.secret.id", "keyUsage": "SIGN" }] } } } } }
Notice the following features of the route:
-
The route matches requests to
/jwksethandler
. -
The JWT signing key is managed by the SysEnvStoreSecretStore in the heap, which refers to the SecretKeyPropertyFormat for the secret’s format.
-
The JwtBuilderFilter
signature
property refers to the JWT signing key in the SysEnvStoreSecretStore. -
The JwkSetHandler refers to the JWT signing key.
-
-
Go to http://ig.example.com:8080/jwksethandler.
The signing key is displayed as an array, as follows:
{ "keys": [ { "k": "cGFzc3dvcmQ", "kid": "signing.key.secret.id", "kty": "oct", "use": "sig" } ] }
The JWK set secret is ULR base64-encoded. Although the secret is set with the value
cGFzc3dvcmQ=
, the valuecGFzc3dvcmQ
is exposed.

A list of one or more directories in which to search for static content.
When multiple directories are specified in an array, the directories are searched in the listed order.
"basePath"
: _configuration expression<string>, required if the route is not/
-
The base path of the incoming request for static content.
To specify no base path, leave this property out of the configuration, or specify it as
"basePath": ""
or"basePath": "/"
.Default:
""
. "welcomePages"
: array of configuration expression<strings>, optional-
A set of static content to serve from one of the specified directories when no specific resource is requested.
When multiple sets of static content are specified in an array, the sets are searched for in the listed order. The first set that is found is used.
Default: Empty
"temporaryStorage"
: TemporaryStorage reference, optional-
A TemporaryStorage object for the static content.
Default:
TemporaryStorage
heap object
Example
The following example serves requests to http://ig.example.com:8080
with the
static file index.html
from /path/to/static/pages/
:
{
"name": "StaticWebsite",
"type": "ResourceHandler",
"config": {
"directories": ["/path/to/static/pages"],
"welcomePages": ["index.html"]
}
}
When the basePath
is /website
, the example serves requests to
http://ig.example.com:8080/website
:
{
"name": "StaticWebsite",
"type": "ResourceHandler",
"config": {
"directories": ["/path/to/static/pages"],
"basePath": "/website",
"welcomePages": ["index.html"]
}

ReverseProxyHandler
Proxy requests to protected applications. When IG relays the request to the protected application, IG is acting as a client of the application. IG is client-side.
Consider the following comparison of the ClientHandler and ReverseProxyHandler:
ClientHandler | ReverseProxyHandler | |
---|---|---|
Use this handler to … |
Send requests to third-party services accessed within a route. The service can be AM or an HTTP API. The service can be an HTTP endpoint, such as AM, IDM, Identity Cloud, or any custom HTTP API. |
Send requests to the final service accessed by a route. The service can be the final downstream application. |
If the service does not respond in time, this handler … |
Propagates the error through the Promise flow. If the error is not handled within the route, for example, by a FailureHandler,
the handler returns a |

Properties
"vertx"
: object, optional-
Vert.x-specific configuration for the handler, where IG does not provide its own first-class configuration. Vert.x options are described in HttpClientOptions.
The
vertx
object is read as a map, and values are evaluated as configuration expressions.For properties where IG provides its own first-class configuration, Vert.x configuration options are disallowed, and the IG configuration option takes precedence over Vert.x options configured in
vertx
. The following Vert.x configuration options are disallowed client-side:-
alpnVersions
-
connectTimeout
-
enabledCipherSuites
-
enabledSecureTransportProtocols
-
http2ClearTextUpgrade
-
idleTimeout
-
idleTimeoutUnit
-
keyCertOptions

-
pfxTrustOptions
-
port
-
protocolVersion
-
proxyOptions
-
ssl
-
trustOptions
-
trustStoreOptions
-
useAlpn
-
verifyHost
The following example configures the Vert.x configuration when IG is acting client-side. When IG is acting server-side, configure the
connectors:vertx
property ofadmin.json
:{ "vertx": { "maxWebSocketFrameSize": 128000, "maxWebSocketMessageSize": 256000, "compressionLevel": 4, "maxHeaderSize": 16384 } }
The following example configures HTTP/2 connections when IG is acting client-side. The configuration allows IG to make HTTP/2 requests with large headers. When IG is acting server-side, configure the
connectors:vertx
property ofadmin.json
:{ "vertx": { "initialSettings": { "maxHeaderListSize": 16384 } } }
-
"connections"
: configuration expression<number>, optional-
The maximum number of concurrent HTTP connections in the client connection pool.
For information about the interaction between this property and
waitQueueSize
, see the description ofwaitQueueSize
.Default: 64
- “waitQueueSize”: configuration expression<number>, optional
-
The maximum number of outbound requests allowed to queue when no downstream connections are available. Outbound requests received when the queue is full are rejected.
Use this property to limit memory use when there is a backlog of outbound requests, for example, when the protected application or third-party service is slow.
Configure
waitQueueSize
as follows:-
Not set (default): The wait queue is calculated as the square of
connections
.-
If
connections
is not configured, then its default of64
is used, giving thewaitQueueSize
of4096
. -
If the square of
connections
exceeds the maximum integer value for the Java JVM, the maximum integer value for the Java JVM is used.
-
-
-1
: The wait queue is unlimited. Requests received when there are no available connections are queued without limit. -
0
: There is no wait queue. Requests received when there are no available connections are rejected. -
A value that is less than the square of
connections
:When the configuration is loaded, the configured value is used. IG generates a warning that the
waitQueueSize
is too small for theconnections
size, and recommends a different value. -
A value where
waitQueueSize
plusconnections
exceeds the maximum integer value for the Java JVM:When the configuration is loaded, the
waitQueueSize
is reduced to the maximum integer value for the Java JVM minus the value ofconnections
. IG generates a warning.
Consider the following example configuration of
connections
andwaitQueueSize
:{ "handler" : { "name" : "proxy-handler", "type" : "ReverseProxyHandler", "MyCapture" : "all", "config": { "soTimeout": "10 seconds", "connectionTimeout": "10 seconds", "connections": 64, "waitQueueSize": 100 } }, "baseURI" : "http://app.example.com:8080", "condition" : "${find(request.uri.path, '/')}" }
IG can propagate the request to the sample application using 64 connections. When the connections are consumed, up to 100 subsequent requests are queued until a connection is freed. Effectively IG can accommodate 164 requests, although user concurrency delay means more may be handled. Requests received when the waitQueue is full are rejected.
Default: Not set
-
"connectionTimeout"
: configuration expression<duration>, optional-
Time to wait to establish a connection, expressed as a duration
Default: 10 seconds

:-
For HTTP and HTTPS, process requests using HTTP/1.1.
-
-
Not set:
-
For HTTP, process requests using HTTP/1.1.
-
For HTTPS with
alpn
enabled in ClientTlsOptions, process requests using HTTP/1.1, with an HTTP/2 upgrade request. If the targeted server can use HTTP/2, the client uses HTTP/2.For HTTPS with
alpn
disabled in ClientTlsOptions, process requests using HTTP/1.1, without an HTTP/2 upgrade request.Note that
alpn
is enabled by default in ClientTlsOptions.
-
Default: Not set
-
In HTTP/1.1 request messages, a In scripts or custom extensions that use HTTP/2, use
|
"http2PriorKnowledge"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag for whether the client should have prior knowledge that the server supports HTTP/2. This property is for cleartext (non-TLS requests) only, and is used only when
protocolVersion
is HTTP/2.-
false
: The client checks whether the server supports HTTP/2 by sending an HTTP/1.1 request to upgrade the connection to HTTP/2:-
If the server supports HTTP/2, the server upgrades the connection to HTTP/2, and subsequent requests are processed over HTTP/2.
-
If the server does not support HTTP/2, the connection is not upgraded, and subsequent requests are processed over HTTP/1.
-
-
true
: The client does not check that the server supports HTTP/2. The client sends HTTP/2 requests to the server, assuming that the server supports HTTP/2.
Default:
false
-
"proxyOptions"
: ProxyOptions reference, optional-

Default: Connections to TLS-protected endpoints are not configured.
- `"asyncBehavior": configuration expression<enumeration>, optional
-
Not supported
"retries"
: object, optional-
Enable and configure retry for requests.
During the execution of a request to a remote server, if a runtime exception occurs, or a condition is met, IG waits for a delay, and then schedules a new execution of the request. IG tries until the allowed number of retries is reached or the execution succeeds.
A warning-level entry is logged if all retry attempts fail; a debug-level entry is logged if a retry succeeds.
"retries": { "enabled": configuration expression<boolean>, "condition": runtime expression<boolean>, "executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference, "count": configuration expression<number>, "delay": configuration expression<duration>, } }
"enabled"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
Enable retries.
Default:
true
"condition"
: runtine expression<boolean>, optional-
An inline IG expression to define a condition based on the response, such as an error code.
The condition is evaluated as follows:
-
If
true
, IG retries the request until the value incount
is reached. -
If
false
, IG retries the request only if a runtime exception occurs, until the value incount
is reached.Default:
${false}
-
"executor"
: ScheduledExecutorService reference, optional-
The ScheduledExecutorService to use for scheduling delayed execution of the request.
Default:
ScheduledExecutorService
See also ScheduledExecutorService.
"count"
: configuration expression<number>, optional-
The maximum number of retries to perform. After this threshold is passed and if the request is still not successful, then the ClientHandler propagates the failure.
Retries caused by any runtime exception or triggered condition are included in the count.
Default:
5
"delay"
: _configuration expression<duration>, optional-
The time to wait before retrying the request.
After a failure to send the request, if the number of retries is below the threshold, a new attempt is scheduled with the executor service after this delay.
Default:
10 seconds
The following example configures a retry when a downstream component returns a
502 Bad Gateway
response code:"retries": { "enabled": true, "condition": "${response.status.code == 502}" }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request only once, after a 1-minute delay:
{ "retries": { "count": 1, "delay": "1 minute" } }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request at most 20 times, every second:
{ "retries": { "count": 20, "delay": "1 second" } }
The following example configures the handler to retry the request 5 times, every 10 seconds (default values), with a dedicated executor:
{ "retries": { "executor": { "type": "ScheduledExecutorService", "config": { "corePoolSize": 20 } } } }
"circuitBreaker"
: object, optional-
Enable and configure a circuit breaker to trip when the number of failures exceeds a configured threshold. Calls to downstream services are stopped, and a runtime exception is returned. The circuit breaker is reset after the configured delay.
{ "circuitBreaker": { "enabled": configuration expression<boolean>, "maxFailures": configuration expression<integer>, "openDuration": configuration expression<duration>, "openHandler": Handler reference, "slidingCounter": object, "executor": ScheduledExecutorService reference } }
"enabled"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag to enable the circuit breaker.
Default:
true
"maxFailures"
: configuration expression<number>, required-
The maximum number of failed requests allowed in the window given by
size
, before the circuit breaker trips. The value must be greater than zero.When
retries
is set, the circuit breaker does not count retried requests as failures. Bear this in mind when you setmaxFailures
.In the following example, a request can fail and then be retried three times. If it fails the third retry, the request has failed four times, but the circuit breaker counts only one failure.
{ "retries": { "count": 3, "delay": "1 second" } }
"openDuration"
: configuration expression<duration>, required-
The duration for which the circuit stays open after the circuit breaker trips. The
executor
schedules the circuit to be closed after this duration. "openHandler"
: Handler reference, optional-
The Handler to call when the circuit is open.
Default: A handler that throws a RuntimeException with a "circuit-breaker open" message.
"slidingCounter"
: object, optional-

size
reachesmaxFailures
.The following image illustrates how the sliding window counts failed requests:
{ "slidingCounter": { "size": configuration expression<number> } }
"size"
: configuration expression<number>, required-
The size of the sliding window in which to count errors.
The value of
size
must be greater than zero, and greater than the value ofmaxFailures

instead.If a ReverseProxyHandler includes the deprecated
"hostnameVerifier": "ALLOW_ALL"
configuration, it takes precedence, and deprecation warnings are written to the logs.For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.
The way to handle hostname verification for outgoing SSL connections. Use one of the following values:
-
ALLOW_ALL
: Allow a certificate issued by a trusted CA for any hostname or domain to be accepted for a connection to any domain.This setting allows a certificate issued for one company to be accepted as a valid certificate for another company. To prevent the compromise of TLS connections, use this setting in development mode only. In production, use
STRICT
. -
STRICT
: Match the hostname either as the value of the the first CN, or any of the subject-alt names.A wildcard can occur in the CN, and in any of the subject-alt names. Wildcards match one domain level, so
*.example.com
matcheswww.example.com
but notsome.host.example.com
.
Default:
STRICT

This property is deprecated and is not considered secure. Use passwordSecretId
instead. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Password to access the proxy server.
"systemProxy"
: boolean, optional-
This property is deprecated; use proxyOptions
instead. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Submit outgoing requests to a system-defined proxy, set by the following system properties or their HTTPS equivalents:
-
http.proxyHost
, the host name of the proxy server. -
http.proxyPort
, the port number of the proxy server. The default is80
. -

proxy
andsystemProxy
are defined,proxy
takes precedence.For more information, refer to Java Networking and Proxies.
Default: False.
-
"keyManager"
: Key manager reference(s), optional-

You can specify either a single key manager, as in
"keyManager": "MyKeyManager"
, or an array of key managers, as in"keyManager": [ "FirstKeyManager", "SecondKeyManager" ]
.If you do not configure a key manager, then the client cannot present a certificate, and so cannot play the client role in mutual authentication.
"sslCipherSuites"
: array of strings, optional-
This property is deprecated; use the tls
property instead to configure ClientTlsOptions. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes.Array of cipher suite names, used to restrict the cipher suites allowed when negotiating transport layer security for an HTTPS connection.

You can specify either a single trust manager, as in
"trustManager": "MyTrustManager"
, or an array of trust managers, as in"trustManager": [ "FirstTrustManager", "SecondTrustManager" ]
.If you do not configure a trust manager, then the client uses only the default Java truststore. The default Java truststore depends on the Java environment. For example,
$JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts
.
Route
Routes are JSON-encoded configuration files that you add to IG to manage requests. You can add routes in the following ways:
-
Manually into the filesystem.
-
Through Common REST commands. For information, refer to Create and Edit Routes Through Common REST.
-
Through Studio. For information, refer to the Studio guide.
Every route must call a handler to process requests and produce responses to requests.
When a route has a condition, it can handle only requests that meet the condition. When a route has no condition, it can handle any request.
Routes inherit settings from their parent configuration. This means that you
can configure global objects in the config.json
heap, for example,
and then reference the objects by name in any other IG configuration.
For examples of route configurations see Routers and routes.

(*)Deprecated
Properties
"handler"
: Handler reference, required-
For this route, dispatch the request to this handler.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
See also Handlers.
"heap"
: array of objects, optional-
Heap object configuration for objects local to this route.
Objects referenced but not defined here are inherited from the parent.
You can omit an empty array. If you only have one object in the heap, you can inline it as the handler value.
See also Heap Objects.
"condition"
: runtime expression<boolean>, optional-
A condition based on the request, context, or IG runtime environment, such as system properties or environment variables.
-
true
: The request is dispatched to the route. -
false
: The condition for the next route in the configuration is evaluated. -
No condition: the request is dispatched unconditionally to the route.
For debugging, log the routes for which IG evaluates a condition, and the route that matches a condition. Add the following line to a custom
$HOME/.openig/config/logback.xml
, and restart IG:<logger name="org.forgerock.openig.handler.router.RouterHandler" level="trace" />
For information, refer to Managing logs.
For example conditions and requests that match them, refer to Example conditions and requests.
An external request can never match a condition that uses the reserved administrative route. Therefore, routes that use these conditions are effectively ignored. For example, if
/openig
is the administrative route, a route with the following condition is ignored:${find(request.uri.path, '^/openig/my/path')}
.Default:
${true}
-
"name"
: string, optional-
Route name.
The Router uses the
name
property to order the routes in the configuration. If the route does not have aname
property, the Router uses the route ID.The route ID is managed as follows:
-
When you add a route manually to the routes folder, the route ID is the value of the
_id
field. If there is no_id
field, the route ID is the filename of the added route. -
When you add a route through the Common REST endpoint, the route ID is the value of the mandatory
_id
field. -
When you add a route through Studio, you can edit the default route ID.
CAUTION: The filename of a route cannot be
default.json
. The routename
property or route ID cannot bedefault
.
Default: route ID
-
"secrets"
: SecretStore reference, optional-
This property is deprecated; use SecretsProvider instead. For more information, refer to the Deprecated section of the Release Notes. One or more secret stores, as defined in Secrets object and secret stores.
"session"
: AsyncSessionManager reference. reference, optional-
Stateless session implementation for this route. Define an AuthenticatedEncryptedJwtSessionManager object inline or in the heap.
When a request enters the route, IG builds a new session object for the route. The session content is available to the route’s downstream handlers and filters. Session content available in the ascending configuration (a parent route or
config.json
) is not available in the new session.When the response exits the route, the session content is serialized as a secure JWT that is encrypted and signed, and the resulting JWT string is placed in a cookie. Session information set inside the route is no longer available. The
session
references the previous session object.Default: Do not change the session storage implementation.
For more information, refer to AsyncSessionManager, and Sessions.
"auditService"
: AuditService reference, optional-
An audit service for the route. Provide either the name of an AuditService object defined in the heap, or an inline AuditService configuration object.
Default: No auditing of a configuration. The NoOpAuditService provides an empty audit service to the top-level heap and its child routes.
"globalDecorators"
: map, optional-
A map of one or more data pairs with the format
Map<String, JsonValue>
, where:-
The key is a decorator name

Router
A handler that performs the following tasks:
-
Defines the routes directory and loads routes into the configuration.
-
Depending on the scanning interval, periodically scans the routes directory and updates the IG configuration when routes are added, removed, or changed. The router updates the IG configuration without needing to restart IG or access the route.
-
Manages an internal list of routes, where routes are ordered lexicographically by route name. If a route is not named, then the route ID is used instead. For more information, refer to Route.
-
Routes requests to the first route in the internal list of routes, whose condition is satisfied.
Because the list of routes is ordered lexicographically by route name, name your routes with this in mind:
-
If a request satisfies the condition of more than one route, it is routed to the first route in the list whose condition is met.
-
Even if the request matches a later route in the list, it might never reach that route.
If a request does not satisfy the condition of any route, it is routed to the default handler if one is configured.
-
The router does not have to know about specific routes in advance - you can configure the router first and then add routes while IG is running.
Studio deploys and undeploys routes through a main router named |
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "Router",
"config": {
"defaultHandler": Handler reference,
"directory": configuration expression<string>,
"scanInterval": configuration expression<duration>
}
}
An alternative value for type is RouterHandler.
Properties
"defaultHandler"
: Handler reference, optional-
Handler to use when a request does not satisfy the condition of any route.
Provide either the name of a handler object defined in the heap, or an inline handler configuration object.
Default: If no default route is set either here or in the route configurations, IG aborts the request with an internal error.
See also Handlers.
"directory"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Directory from which to load route configuration files.
Default: The default directory for route configuration files, at
$HOME/.openig
(on Windows,appdata\OpenIG
).With the following example, route configuration files are loaded from
/path/to/safe/routes
instead of from the default directory:{ "type": "Router", "config": { "directory": "/path/to/safe/routes" } }
If you define multiple routers, configure directory
so that the routers load route configuration files from different directories.An infinite route-loading sequence is triggered when a router starts a route that, directly or indirectly, starts another router, which then loads route configuration files from the same directory.
See also Expressions.
"scanInterval"
: configuration expression<duration>, optional-
Time interval at which IG scans the specified directory for changes to routes. When a route is added, removed, or changed, the router updates the IG configuration without needing to restart IG or access the route.
When an integer is used for the
scanInterval
, the time unit is seconds.To load routes at startup only, and prevent changes to the configuration if the routes are changed, set the scan interval to
disabled
.Default: 10 seconds
Router metrics at the Prometheus Scrape Endpoint

. -
name
: Simple name declared in router configuration, for example,main-router
.

SamlFederationHandler (deprecated)
This handler is deprecated; use the SamlFederationFilter instead. |
A handler to play the role of SAML 2.0 Service Provider (SP).
Consider the following requirements for SamlFederationHandler:
-
This handler does not support filtering; do not use it as the handler for a chain, which can include filters.
-
Do not use this handler when its use depends on something in the response. The response can be handled independently of IG, and can be
null
when control returns to IG. For example, do not use this handler in aSequenceHandler
where thepostcondition
depends on the response. -
Requests to the SamlFederationHandler must not be rebased, because the request URI must match the endpoint in the SAML metadata.
SAML in deployments with multiple instances of IG
IG uses the federation libraries from AM (also referred to as the Fedlet) to implement SAML. When IG acts as a SAML service provider, the session information is stored in the fedlet, not the session cookie. In deployments that use multiple instances of IG as a SAML service provider, it is therefore necessary to set up sticky sessions so that requests always hit the instance where the SAML interaction was started.
For information, refer to Session state considerations in AM’s SAML v2.0 guide.
For more information, refer to About session stickiness and session replication for Tomcat and About session stickiness and session replication for Jetty
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "SamlFederationHandler",
"config": {
"assertionMapping": map or configuration expression<map>,
"redirectURI": configuration expression<url>,
"secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference,
"assertionConsumerEndpoint": configuration expression<url>,
"authnContext": configuration expression<string>,
"authnContextDelimiter": configuration expression<string>,
"logoutURI": configuration expression<url>,
"sessionIndexMapping": configuration expression<string>,
"singleLogoutEndpoint": configuration expression<url>,
"singleLogoutEndpointSoap": configuration expression<url>,
"SPinitiatedSLOEndpoint": configuration expression<url>,
"SPinitiatedSSOEndpoint": configuration expression<url>,
"useOriginalUri": configuration expression<boolean>,
"subjectMapping": configuration expression<string>
}
}
Properties
"assertionMapping"
: map or configuration expression<map>, required-
A map with the format
Map<String, String>
, where:-
Key: Session name,
localName
-
Value: SAML assertion name,
incomingName
, or a configuration expression that evaluates to the name
The following formats are allowed:
{ "assertionMapping": { "string": "configuration expression<string>", ... } }
{ "assertionMapping": "configuration expression<map>" }
In the following example, the session names
username
andpassword
are mapped to SAML assertion namesmail
andmailPassword
:{ "assertionMapping": { "username": "mail", "password": "mailPassword" } }
If an incoming SAML assertion contains the following statement:
mail = demo@example.com mailPassword = demopassword
Then the following values are set in the session:
username[0] = demo@example.com password[0] = demopassword
For this to work, edit the
<Attribute name="attributeMap">
element in the SP extended metadata file,$HOME/.openig/SAML/sp-extended.xml
, so that it matches the assertion mapping configured in the SAML 2.0 Identity Provider (IDP) metadata.Because the dot character (
.
) serves as a query separator in expressions, do not use dot characters in the localName.To prevent different handlers from overwriting each others' data, use unique localName settings when protecting multiple service providers.
-
"redirectURI"
: configuration expression<url>, required-
The page that the filter used to HTTP POST a login form recognizes as the login page for the protected application.
This is how IG and the Federation component work together to provide SSO. When IG detects the login page of the protected application, it redirects to the Federation component. Once the Federation handler validates the SAML exchanges with the IDP, and sets the required session attributes, it redirects back to the login page of the protected application. This allows the filter used to HTTP POST a login form to finish the job by creating a login form to post to the application based on the credentials retrieved from the session attributes.
"secretsProvider"
: SecretsProvider reference, optional-
The SecretsProvider object to query for keys when AM provides signed or encrypted SAML assertions.
When this property is not set, the keys are provided by direct keystore look-ups based on entries in the SP extended metadata file,
sp-extended.xml
.For more information, refer to SecretsProvider.
Default: Empty.
"assertionConsumerEndpoint"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Default:
fedletapplication
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute, change the metadata to match.
"authnContext"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Name of the session field to hold the value of the authentication context. Because the dot character (
.
) serves as a query separator in expressions, do not use dot characters in the field name.Use this setting when protecting multiple service providers, as the different configurations must not map their data into the same fields of
session
. Otherwise different handlers can overwrite each others' data.As an example, if you set
"authnContext": "myAuthnContext"
, then IG setssession.myAuthnContext
to the authentication context specified in the assertion. When the authentication context is password over protected transport, then this results in the session containing"myAuthnContext": "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport"
.Default: map to
session.authnContext
"authnContextDelimiter"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
The authentication context delimiter used when there are multiple authentication contexts in the assertion.
Default:
|
"logoutURI"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Set this to the URI to visit after the user is logged out of the protected application.
You only need to set this if the application uses the single logout feature of the Identity Provider.
"sessionIndexMapping"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Name of the session field to hold the value of the session index. Because the dot character (
.
) serves as a query separator in expressions, do not use dot characters in the field name.Use this setting when protecting multiple service providers, as the different configurations must not map their data into the same fields of
session
. Otherwise different handlers can overwrite each others' data.As an example, if you set
"sessionIndexMapping": "mySessionIndex"
, then IG setssession.mySessionIndex
to the session index specified in the assertion. This results in the session containing something like"mySessionIndex": "s24ccbbffe2bfd761c32d42e1b7a9f60ea618f9801"
.Default: map to
session.sessionIndex
"singleLogoutEndpoint"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Default:
fedletSLORedirect
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute, change the metadata to match.
"singleLogoutEndpointSoap"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Default:
fedletSloSoap
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute, change the metadata to match.
"SPinitiatedSLOEndpoint"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Default:
SPInitiatedSLO
If you modify this attribute, change the metadata to match.
"SPinitiatedSSOEndpoint"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Default:
SPInitiatedSSO
If you modify this attribute, change the metadata to match.
"useOriginalUri"
: configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
When
true
, use the original URI instead of a rebased URI when validating RelayState and Assertion Consumer Location URLs. Use this property if abaseUri
decorator is used in the route or inconfig.json
.Default:
false
"subjectMapping"
: configuration expression<string>, optional-
Name of the session field to hold the value of the subject name. Because the dot character (
.
) serves as a query separator in expressions, do not use dot characters in the field name.Use this setting when protecting multiple service providers, as the different configurations must not map their data into the same fields of
session
. Otherwise different handlers can overwrite each others' data.As an example, if you set
"subjectMapping": "mySubjectName"
, then IG setssession.mySubjectName
to the subject name specified in the assertion. If the subject name is an opaque identifier, then this results in the session containing something like"mySubjectName": "vtOk+APj1s9Rr4yCka6V9pGUuzuL"
.Default: map to
session.subjectName
Example
For an example of how to set up IG as a SAML service provider, refer to SAML.
In the following example, IG receives a SAML 2.0 assertion from the IDP, and then logs the user in to the protected application using the username and password from the assertion:
{
"name": "SamlFederationHandler",
"type": "SamlFederationHandler",
"config": {
"assertionMapping": {
"username": "mail",
"password": "mailPassword"
},
"redirectURI": "/login",
"logoutURI": "/logout"
}
}
ScriptableHandler
Creates a response to a request by executing a script.
Scripts must return either a Promise<Response, NeverThrowsException> or a Response.
This section describes the usage of ScriptableHandler. For information about script properties, available global objects, and automatically imported classes, see Scripts.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "ScriptableHandler",
"config": {
"type": configuration expression<string>,
"file": configuration expression<string>, // Use either "file"
"source": [ string, ... ], // or "source", but not both
"args": map,
"clientHandler": Handler reference
}
}
Properties
For information about properties for ScriptableHandler, refer to Scripts.
SequenceHandler
Processes a request through a sequence of handlers and post conditions, as follows:
-
A request is treated by
handler1
, and thenpostcondition1
is evaluated. -
If
postcondition1
is true, the request is then treated byhandler2
, and so on.
{
"handler": handler1,
"postcondition": expression1
},
{
"handler": handler2,
"postcondition": expression2
},
...
Use this handler for multi-request processing, such as retrieving a form, extracting form content (for example, a nonce), and then submitting it in a subsequent request.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "SequenceHandler",
"config": {
"bindings": [
{
"handler": Handler reference,
"postcondition": runtime expression<boolean>
}
]
}
}
Properties
"bindings"
: array of objects, required-
A list of handler and postcondition bindings.
"handler"
: Handler reference, required-
The handler to dispatch the request to when it is the first handler in the bindings, or for subsequent handlers when their previous
postcondition
yieldstrue
.Provide the name of a handler heap object, or an inline handler configuration object.
"postcondition"
: runtime expression<boolean>, optional-
A flag to indicate that a post condition is met:
-
true
: The request is dispatched to the next handler inbindings
. -
false
: The sequence stops.
Postconditions are defined using IG expressions, as described in Expressions.
Default:
${true}
-
StaticResponseHandler
Creates a response to a request statically, or based on something in the context.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "StaticResponseHandler",
"config": {
"status": configuration expression<number>,
"reason": configuration expression<string>,
"headers": {
configuration expression<string>: [ runtime expression<string>, ... ], ...
},
"trailers": {
configuration expression<string>: [ runtime expression<string>, ... ], ...
},

}
}
Properties
"status"
: Status object-
The response status. For more information, refer to Status.

"headers"
: map, optional-
One or more headers to set for a response, with the format
name: [ value, … ]
, where:When the property
entity
is used, set aContent-Type
header with the correct content type value. The following example sets the content type of a message entity in the response:"headers": { "Content-Type": [ "text/html; charset=UTF-8" ] }
The following example is used in
federate-handler.json
to redirect the original URI from the request:"headers": { "Location": [ "http://sp.example.com:8080/saml/SPInitiatedSSO" ] }
Default: Empty
"trailers"
: map, optional-
One or more trailers to set for a response, with the format
name: [ value, … ]
, where:-
name is a configuration expression<string> for a trailer name. If multiple expressions resolve to the same string, name has multiple values.
The following trailer names are not allowed:
-
Message framing headers (for example,
Transfer-Encoding
andContent-Length
) -
Routing headers (for example,
Host
) -
Request modifiers (for example, controls and conditionals such as
Cache-Control
,Max-Forwards
, andTE
) -
Authentication headers (for example,
Authorization
andSet-Cookie
) -
Content-Encoding
-
Content-Type
-
Content-Range
-
