PingGateway 2024.6

AssignmentFilter

Verifies that a specified condition is met. If the condition is met or if no condition is specified, the value is assigned to the target. Values can be assigned before the request is handled and after the response is handled.

Usage

{
  "name": string,
  "type": "AssignmentFilter",
  "config": {
    "onRequest": [
      {
        "condition": runtime expression<boolean>,
        "target": lvalue-expression,
        "value": runtime expression
      }, ...
    ],
    "onResponse": [
      {
        "condition": runtime expression<boolean>,
        "target": lvalue-expression,
        "value": runtime expression
      }, ...
    ]
  }
}

Properties

"onRequest": array of objects, optional

Defines a list of assignment bindings to evaluate before the request is handled.

"onResponse": array of objects, optional

Defines a list of assignment bindings to evaluate after the response is handled.

"condition": runtime expression<boolean>, optional

If the expression evaluates true, the value is assigned to the target.

Default: ${true}

"target": <lvalue-expression>, required

Expression that yields the target object whose value is to be set.

"value": runtime expression<object> , optional

The value to be set in the target. The value can be a string, information from the context, or even a whole map of information.

Examples

Add info to a session

The following example assigns a value to a session. Add the filter to a route to prevent PingGateway from clearing up empty JWTSession cookies:

{
  "type": "AssignmentFilter",
  "config": {
    "onRequest": [{
      "target": "${session.authUsername}",
      "value": "I am root"
    }]
  }
}
Capture and store login credentials

The following example captures credentials and stores them in the PingGateway session during a login request. Notice that the credentials are captured on the request but are not marked as valid until the response returns a positive 302. The credentials could then be used to log a user in to a different application:

{
  "name": "PortalLoginCaptureFilter",
  "type": "AssignmentFilter",
  "config": {
    "onRequest": [
      {
        "target": "${session.authUsername}",
        "value": "${request.queryParams['username'][0]}"
      },
      {
        "target": "${session.authPassword}",
        "value": "${request.queryParams['password'][0]}"
      },
      {
        "comment": "Authentication has not yet been confirmed.",
        "target": "${session.authConfirmed}",
        "value": "${false}"
      }
    ],
    "onResponse": [
      {
        "condition": "${response.status.code == 302}",
        "target": "${session.authConfirmed}",
        "value": "${true}"
      }
    ]
  }
}
