ClientRegistration
A ClientRegistration holds information about registration with an OAuth 2.0 authorization server or OpenID Provider.
The configuration includes the client credentials that are used to authenticate to the identity provider. The client credentials can be included directly in the configuration, or retrieved in some other way using an expression, described in "Expressions".
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ClientRegistration", "config": { "clientId": expression, "clientSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>, "issuer": Issuer reference, "registrationHandler": Handler reference, "scopes": [ expression, ...], "secretsProvider": SecretsProvider reference, "tokenEndpointAuthMethod": enumeration, "tokenEndpointAuthSigningAlg": string, "privateKeyJwtSecretId": configuration expression<secret-id>, "claims": map or runtime expression<map>, "jwtExpirationTimeout": duration } }
Properties
The client registration configuration object properties are as follows:
"name"
: string, requiredA name for the client registration.
"clientId"
: expression, requiredThe
client_id
obtained when registering with the authorization server.See also "Expressions".
"clientSecretId"
: configuration expression<secret-id>, required iftokenEndpointAuthMethod
isclient_secret_basic
orclient_secret_post
The secret ID of the client secret required to authenticate the client to the authorization server.
For information about supported formats for
secret-id
, see secret-id."issuer"
: Issuer reference, requiredThe provider configuration to use for this client registration.
Provide either the name of a Issuer object defined in the heap, or an inline Issuer configuration object.
See also "Issuer".
"registrationHandler"
: Handler reference, optionalInvoke this HTTP client handler to communicate with the authorization server.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
Usually set this to the name of a ClientHandler configured in the heap, or a chain that ends in a ClientHandler.
Default: IG uses the default ClientHandler.
See also Handlers, "ClientHandler".
"scopes"
: array of expressions, optionalOAuth 2.0 scopes to use with this client registration.
See also "Expressions".
"secretsProvider"
: SecretsProvider reference, optionalThe SecretsProvider object to query for the client secret. For more information, see "SecretsProvider".
Default: The route's default secret service. For more information, see "Default Secrets Object".
"tokenEndpointAuthMethod"
: enumeration, optionalThe authentication method with which a client authenticates to the authorization server or OpenID provider at the token endpoint. For information about client authentication methods, see OpenID Client Authentication. The following client authentication methods are allowed:
client_secret_basic
: Clients that have received aclient_secret
value from the authorization server authenticate with the authorization server by using the HTTP Basic authentication scheme, as in the following example:POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 Host: as.example.com Authorization: Basic .... Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code& code=...
client_secret_post
: Clients that have received aclient_secret
value from the authorization server authenticate with the authorization server by including the client credentials in the request body, as in the following example:POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 Host: as.example.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code& client_id=...& client_secret=...& code=...
private_key_jwt
: Clients send a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) to the authorization server. IG builds and signs the JWT, and prepares the request as in the following example:POST /token HTTP/1.1 Host: as.example.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code& code=...& client_id=<clientregistration_id>& client_assertion_type=urn%3Aietf%3Aparams%3Aoauth%3Aclient-assertion-type%3Ajwt-bearer& client_assertion=PHNhbWxwOl ... ZT
If the authorization server doesn't support
private_key_jwt
, a dynamic registration falls back on the method returned by the authorization server, for example,client_secret_basic
orclient_secret_post
.If
tokenEndpointAuthSigningAlg
is not configured, theRS256
signing algorithm is used forprivate_key_jwt
.
Consider these points for identity providers:
Some providers accept more than one authentication method.
If a provider strictly enforces how the client must authenticate, align the authentication method with the provider.
If a provider doesn't support the authentication method, the provider sends an HTTP 400 Bad Request response with an
invalid_client
error message, according to RFC 6749 The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework, section 5.2 .If the authentication method is invalid, the provider sends an
IllegalArgumentException
.
Default:
client_secret_basic
"tokenEndpointAuthSigningAlg"
: string, optionalThe JSON Web Algorithm (JWA) used to sign the JWT that is used to authenticate the client at the token endpoint. The property is used when
private_key_jwt
is used for authentication.Use one of the following algorithms:
RS256
: RSA using SHA-256ES256
: ECDSA with SHA-256 and NIST standard P-256 elliptic curveES384
: ECDSA with SHA-384 and NIST standard P-384 elliptic curveES512
: ECDSA with SHA-512 and NIST standard P-521 elliptic curve
Default:
RS256
"privateKeyJwtSecretId"
: configuration expression<secret-id>, required whenprivate_key_jwt
is used for client authenticationThe secret ID of the key that is used to sign the JWT.
For information about supported formats for
secret-id
, see secret-id."claims"
: map or runtime expression<map>, optionalWhen
private_key_jwt
is used for authentication, this property specifies the claims used in the authentication. If this property is a map, the structure must have the formatMap<String, Object>
.The JWT can contain the following claim value and other optional claims, where claims that are not understood are ignored:
"aud"
: string or array of strings, optionalThe URI of the authorization server that is the intended audience of the token.
Default: URL of the authorization server token endpoint
In the following example, the claims include the value
aud
, which is the URI of the authorization server that is the audience of the token:"claims": { "aud": "https://myapp.authentication.example.com" }
If this property is an expression, its evaluation must yield an object of type
Map<String, Object>
. In the following example,overrideAudience
is declared in the properties and then included in an expression in the claims declaration:{ "properties": { "overrideAudience": { "aud": "https://myapp.authentication.example.com" } } }
"claims": "${overrideAudience}"
"jwtExpirationTimeout"
: duration, optionalWhen
private_key_jwt
is used for authentication, this property specifies the duration for which the JWT is valid.Default: 1 minute
For information about supported formats for
duration
, see duration.
Example
The following example shows a client registration for AM. In this example client credentials are replaced with **********
. In the actual configuration either include the credentials and protect the configuration file or obtain the credentials from the environment in a safe way:
{ "name": "registration", "type": "ClientRegistration", "config": { "clientId": "**********", "clientSecretId": "**********", "issuer": { "type": "Issuer", "config": { "wellKnownEndpoint": "http://openam.example.com:8088/openam/oauth2/.well-known/openid-configuration" } }, "secretsProvider": "mySystemAndEnvSecretStore", "scopes": [ "openid", "profile", "email" ] } }
