Reference documentation for OpenIG. OpenIG provides a high-performance reverse proxy server with specialized session management and credential replay functionality.
Preface
This reference covers OpenIG configuration.
1. Who Should Use this Reference
This reference is for OpenIG designers, developers, and administrators.
For API specifications, see the appropriate Javadoc.
2. Reserved Routes
OpenIG reserves all paths starting with /openig
for administrative use.
Resources exposed under /openig
are only accessible
to local client applications.
3. Reserved Field Names
OpenIG reserves all configuration field names that contain only alphanumeric characters.
If you must define your own field names, for example, in custom decorators,
use names with dots, .
, or dashes, -
.
Examples include my-decorator
and com.example.myDecorator
.
4. Field Value Conventions
OpenIG configuration uses JSON notation.
This reference uses the following terms when referring to values of configuration object fields:
- array
JSON array.
- boolean
Either
true
orfalse
.- configuration expression
Expression for which no context is available.
A configuration expression, described in Expressions(5) is independent of the request, response, and contexts, so do not use expressions that reference their properties. You can, however, use
${env['variable']}
,${system['property']}
, and all the built-in functions listed in Functions(5).- duration
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:
indefinite
,infinity
,undefined
,unlimited
: unlimited durationzero
,disabled
: zero-length durationdays
,day

- expression
See Expressions(5).
- lvalue-expression
Expression yielding an object whose value is to be set.
- number
JSON number.
- object
JSON object where the content depends on the object's type.
- pattern
A regular expression according to the rules for the Java Pattern class.
- pattern-template
Template for referencing capturing groups in a pattern by using
$n
, where n is the index number of the capturing group starting from zero.For example, if the pattern is
"\w+\s*=\s*(\w)+"
, the pattern-template is"$1"
, and the text to match is"key = value"
, the pattern-template yields"value"
.- reference
Either references an object configured in the heap by the object's name or uses a local, inline configuration object where the name is optional.
- string
JSON string.
5. About ForgeRock Common REST
For many REST APIs that are not defined by external standards, ForgeRock products provide common ways to access web resources and collections of resources. This section covers what is common across products. Adapt the examples to your types of resources and to your deployment.
5.1. Common REST Resources
Servers generally return JSON-format resources, though resource formats can depend on the implementation.
Resources in collections can be found by their unique identifiers (IDs).
IDs are exposed in the resource URIs.
For example, if a server has a user collection under /users
,
then you can access a user at
/users/user-id
.
The ID is also the value of the _id
field of the resource.
Resources are versioned using revision numbers.
A revision is specified in the resource's _rev
field.
Revisions make it possible to figure out whether to apply changes
without resource locking and without distributed transactions.
5.2. Common REST Verbs
The common REST APIs use the following verbs, sometimes referred to collectively as CRUDPAQ. For details and HTTP-based examples of each, follow the links to the sections for each verb.
- Create
Add a new resource.
This verb maps to HTTP PUT or HTTP POST.
For details, see Section 5.5, "Create".
- Read
Retrieve a single resource.
This verb maps to HTTP GET.
For details, see Section 5.6, "Read".
- Update
Replace an existing resource.
This verb maps to HTTP PUT.
For details, see Section 5.7, "Update".
- Delete
Remove an existing resource.
This verb maps to HTTP DELETE.
For details, see Section 5.8, "Delete".
- Patch
Modify part of an existing resource.
This verb maps to HTTP PATCH.
For details, see Section 5.9, "Patch".
- Action
Perform a predefined action.
This verb maps to HTTP POST.
For details, see Section 5.10, "Action".
- Query
Search a collection of resources.
This verb maps to HTTP GET.
For details, see Section 5.11, "Query".
5.3. Common REST Parameters
Common REST reserved query string parameter names start with an underscore,
_
.
Reserved query string parameters include, but are not limited to, the following names:
_action |
_fields |
_mimeType |
_pageSize |
_pagedResultsCookie |
_pagedResultsOffset |
_prettyPrint |
_queryExpression |
_queryFilter |
_queryId |
_sortKeys |
_totalPagedResultsPolicy |
Note
Some parameter values are not safe for URLs, so URL-encode parameter values as necessary.
Continue reading for details about how to use each parameter.
5.4. Common REST Extension Points
The action verb is the main vehicle for extensions.
For example, to create a new user with HTTP POST rather than HTTP PUT,
you might use /users?_action=create
.
A server can define additional actions.
For example, /tasks/1?_action=cancel
.
A server can define stored queries to call by ID.
For example, /groups?_queryId=hasDeletedMembers
.
Stored queries can call for additional parameters.
The parameters are also passed in the query string.
Which parameters are valid depends on the stored query.
5.5. Create
There are two ways to create a resource, either with an HTTP POST or with an HTTP PUT.
To create a resource using POST, perform an HTTP POST
with the query string parameter _action=create
and the JSON resource as a payload.
Accept a JSON response.
The server creates the identifier if not specified:
POST /users?_action=create HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json Content-Length: ... Content-Type: application/json { JSON resource }
To create a resource using PUT, perform an HTTP PUT
including the case-sensitive identifier for the resource in the URL path,
and the JSON resource as a payload.
Use the If-None-Match: *
header.
Accept a JSON response:
PUT /users/some-id HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json Content-Length: ... Content-Type: application/json If-None-Match: * { JSON resource }
The _id
and content of the resource depend on the server implementation.
The server is not required to use the _id
that the client provides.
The server response to the create request indicates the resource location
as the value of the Location
header.
If you include the If-None-Match
header, its value must be
*
. In this case, the request creates the object if it
does not exist, and fails if the object does exist. If you include the
If-None-Match
header with any value other than
*
, the server returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request error. For
example, creating an object with
If-None-Match: revision
returns
a bad request error. If you do not include If-None-Match: *
,
the request creates the object if it does not exist, and
updates the object if it does exist.
You can use the following parameters:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.6. Read
To retrieve a single resource, perform an HTTP GET on the resource
by its case-sensitive identifier (_id
)
and accept a JSON response:
GET /users/some-id HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json
You can use the following parameters:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
._mimeType=mime-type
Some resources have fields whose values are multi-media resources such as a profile photo for example.
By specifying both a single field and also the mime-type for the response content, you can read a single field value that is a multi-media resource.
In this case, the content type of the field value returned matches the mime-type that you specify, and the body of the response is the multi-media resource.
The
Accept
header is not used in this case. For example,Accept: image/png
does not work. Use the_mimeType
query string parameter instead.
5.7. Update
To update a resource, perform an HTTP PUT
including the case-sensitive identifier (_id
)
for the resource with the JSON resource as a payload.
Use the If-Match: _rev
header
to check that you are actually updating the version you modified.
Use If-Match: *
if the version does not matter.
Accept a JSON response:
PUT /users/some-id HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json Content-Length: ... Content-Type: application/json If-Match: _rev { JSON resource }
When updating a resource, include all the attributes to be retained. Omitting an attribute in the resource amounts to deleting the attribute unless it is not under the control of your application. Attributes not under the control of your application include private and read-only attributes. In addition, virtual attributes and relationship references might not be under the control of your application.
You can use the following parameters:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.8. Delete
To delete a single resource, perform an HTTP DELETE
by its case-sensitive identifier (_id
)
and accept a JSON response:
DELETE /users/some-id HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json
You can use the following parameters:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.9. Patch
To patch a resource, send an HTTP PATCH request
including the patch for the resource as the payload.
Optionally set the If-Match
header to the revision
if the patch should only operate on that version of the resource.
Accept a JSON response:
PATCH /users/some-id HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json Content-Length: ... Content-Type: application/json If-Match: _rev { JSON resource }
Note
Some HTTP client libraries do not support the HTTP PATCH operation. Make sure that the library you use supports HTTP PATCH before using this REST operation.
For example, the Java Development Kit HTTP client
does not support PATCH as a valid HTTP method.
Instead, the method HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod("PATCH")
throws ProtocolException
.
You can use the following parameters:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.10. Action
Actions are a means of extending common REST APIs and are defined by the resource provider, so the actions you can use depend on the implementation.
The standard action indicated by _action=create
is described in Section 5.5, "Create".
You can use the following parameters. Other parameters might depend on the specific action implementation:
_prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.11. Query
To query a resource collection
(or resource container if you prefer to think of it that way),
perform an HTTP GET and accept a JSON response, including at least
a _queryExpression
,
_queryFilter
, or _queryId
parameter.
These parameters cannot be used together:
GET /users?_queryFilter=true HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json
The server returns the result as a JSON object including a "results" array and other fields related to the query string parameters that you specify.
You can use the following parameters:
_queryFilter=filter-expression
Query filters request that the server return entries that match the filter expression. You must URL-escape the filter expression.
The string representation is summarized as follows. Continue reading for additional explanation:
Expr = OrExpr OrExpr = AndExpr ( 'or' AndExpr ) * AndExpr = NotExpr ( 'and' NotExpr ) * NotExpr = '!' PrimaryExpr | PrimaryExpr PrimaryExpr = '(' Expr ')' | ComparisonExpr | PresenceExpr | LiteralExpr ComparisonExpr = Pointer OpName JsonValue PresenceExpr = Pointer 'pr' LiteralExpr = 'true' | 'false' Pointer = JSON pointer OpName = 'eq' | # equal to 'co' | # contains 'sw' | # starts with 'lt' | # less than 'le' | # less than or equal to 'gt' | # greater than 'ge' | # greater than or equal to STRING # extended operator JsonValue = NUMBER | BOOLEAN | '"' UTF8STRING '"' STRING = ASCII string not containing white-space UTF8STRING = UTF-8 string possibly containing white-space
Note that white space, double quotes (
"
), parentheses, and exclamation characters need URL encoding in HTTP query strings.A simple filter expression can represent a comparison, presence, or a literal value.
For comparison expressions use json-pointer comparator json-value, where the comparator is one of the following:
eq
(equals)co
(contains)sw
(starts with)lt
(less than)le
(less than or equal to)gt
(greater than)ge
(greater than or equal to)For presence, use json-pointer pr to match resources where the JSON pointer is present.
Literal values include true (match anything) and false (match nothing).
Complex expressions employ
and
,or
, and!
(not), with parentheses,(expression)
, to group expressions._queryId=identifier
Specify a query by its identifier.
Specific queries can take their own query string parameter arguments, which depend on the implementation.
_pagedResultsCookie=string
The string is an opaque cookie used by the server to keep track of the position in the search results. The server returns the cookie in the JSON response as the value of
pagedResultsCookie
.In the request
_pageSize
must also be set and non-zero. You receive the cookie value from the provider on the first request, and then supply the cookie value in subsequent requests until the server returns anull
cookie, meaning that the final page of results has been returned.The
_pagedResultsCookie
parameter is supported when used with the_queryFilter
parameter. The_pagedResultsCookie
parameter is not guaranteed to work when used with the_queryExpression
and_queryId
parameters.The
_pagedResultsCookie
and_pagedResultsOffset
parameters are mutually exclusive, and not to be used together._pagedResultsOffset=integer
When
_pageSize
is non-zero, use this as an index in the result set indicating the first page to return.The
_pagedResultsCookie
and_pagedResultsOffset
parameters are mutually exclusive, and not to be used together._pageSize=integer
Return query results in pages of this size. After the initial request, use
_pagedResultsCookie
or_pageResultsOffset
to page through the results._totalPagedResultsPolicy=string
When a
_pageSize
is specified, and non-zero, the server calculates the "totalPagedResults", in accordance with thetotalPagedResultsPolicy
, and provides the value as part of the response. The "totalPagedResults" is either an estimate of the total number of paged results (_totalPagedResultsPolicy=ESTIMATE
), or the exact total result count (_totalPagedResultsPolicy=EXACT
). If no count policy is specified in the query, or if_totalPagedResultsPolicy=NONE
, result counting is disabled, and the server returns value of -1 for "totalPagedResults"._sortKeys=[+-]field[,[+-]field...]
Sort the resources returned based on the specified field(s), either in
+
(ascending, default) order, or in-
(descending) order.The
_sortKeys
parameter is not supported for predefined queries (_queryId
)._prettyPrint=true
Format the body of the response.
_fields=field[,field...]
Return only the specified fields in each element of the "results" array in the response.
The
field
values are JSON pointers. For example if the resource is{"parent":{"child":"value"}}
,parent/child
refers to the"child":"value"
.
5.12. HTTP Status Codes
When working with a common REST API over HTTP, client applications should expect at least the following HTTP status codes. Not all servers necessarily return all status codes identified here:
- 200 OK
The request was successful and a resource returned, depending on the request.
- 201 Created
The request succeeded and the resource was created.
- 204 No Content
The action request succeeded, and there was no content to return.
- 304 Not Modified
The read request included an
If-None-Match
header, and the value of the header matched the revision value of the resource.- 400 Bad Request
The request was malformed.
- 401 Unauthorized
The request requires user authentication.
- 403 Forbidden
Access was forbidden during an operation on a resource.
- 404 Not Found
The specified resource could not be found, perhaps because it does not exist.
- 405 Method Not Allowed
The HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource.
- 406 Not Acceptable
The request contains parameters that are not acceptable, such as a resource or protocol version that is not available.
- 409 Conflict
The request would have resulted in a conflict with the current state of the resource.
- 410 Gone
The requested resource is no longer available, and will not become available again. This can happen when resources expire for example.
- 412 Precondition Failed
The resource's current version does not match the version provided.
- 415 Unsupported Media Type
The request is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.
- 428 Precondition Required
The resource requires a version, but no version was supplied in the request.
- 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
- 501 Not Implemented
The resource does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request.
- 503 Service Unavailable
The requested resource was temporarily unavailable. The service may have been disabled, for example.
6. Formatting Conventions
Most examples in the documentation are created in GNU/Linux or Mac OS X
operating environments.
If distinctions are necessary between operating environments,
examples are labeled with the operating environment name in parentheses.
To avoid repetition file system directory names are often given
only in UNIX format as in /path/to/server
,
even if the text applies to C:\path\to\server
as well.
Absolute path names usually begin with the placeholder
/path/to/
.
This path might translate to /opt/
,
C:\Program Files\
, or somewhere else on your system.
Command-line, terminal sessions are formatted as follows:
$ echo $JAVA_HOME /path/to/jdk
Command output is sometimes formatted for narrower, more readable output even though formatting parameters are not shown in the command.
Program listings are formatted as follows:
class Test { public static void main(String [] args) { System.out.println("This is a program listing."); } }

Required Configuration
You must specify at least the entry point for incoming requests, the OpenIG Servlet, and the heap objects that configure and initialize objects, with dependency injection.
Name
GatewayHttpApplication — configure OpenIG
Description
The GatewayHttpApplication is the entry point for all incoming requests.
It is responsible for initializing a heap of objects,
described in Heap Objects(5),
and providing the main Handler that receives all the incoming requests.
The configuration is loaded from a JSON-encoded configuration file,
expected by default at $HOME/.openig/config/config.json
.
The GatewayHttpApplication creates the following objects by default:
An AuditDecorator that you can use to trigger notification for audit events. The default AuditDecorator is named audit. For details, see AuditDecorator(5).
A BaseUriDecorator that you can use to override the scheme, host, and port of the existing request URI. The default BaseUriDecorator is named baseURI. For details, see BaseUriDecorator(5).
A CaptureDecorator that you can use to capture requests and response messages. The default CaptureDecorator is named capture. For details, see CaptureDecorator(5).
A TimerDecorator that you can use to record time spent within Filters and Handlers. The default TimerDecorator is named timer. For details, see TimerDecorator(5).
The GatewayHttpApplication declares default configurations in the heap for the following objects:
A ClientHandler named
ClientHandler
for communicating with protected applications. For details, see ClientHandler(5).A ClientHandler named
ForgeRockClientHandler
for sending a ForgeRock Common Audit transaction ID when communicating with protected applications. The default object wraps theClientHandler
.
The GatewayHttpApplication also looks for an object named Session in the heap.
If it finds such an object,
it uses that object as the default session producer.
For example, to store session information
in an HTTP cookie on the user-agent,
you can define a JwtSession named Session
in config.json
.
If you do that, however, stored session information must
fit the constraints for storage in a JWT and in a cookie,
as described in JwtSession(5).
If no such object is found,
session
is based on the Servlet HttpSession
that is handled by the container where OpenIG runs.
Usage
{ "handler": Handler reference or inline Handler declaration, "heap": [ configuration object, ... ], "logSink": LogSink reference, "temporaryStorage": TemporaryStorage reference }
Properties
"handler"
: Handler reference, requiredDispatch all requests 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 configuration objects, optionalThe heap object configuration, described in Heap Objects(5).
You can omit an empty array. If you only have one object in the heap, you can inline it as the handler value.
"logSink"
: LogSink reference, optionalSend log messages to this LogSink.
Provide either the name of a LogSink object defined in the heap, or an inline LogSink configuration object.
Default: use the heap object named LogSink. Otherwise use an internally-created ConsoleLogSink object that is named LogSink and that uses default settings for a ConsoleLogSink object.
"temporaryStorage"
: TemporaryStorage reference, optionalCache content during processing based on this TemporaryStorage configuration.
Provide either the name of a TemporaryStorage object defined in the heap, or an inline TemporaryStorage configuration object.
Default: use the heap object named TemporaryStorage. Otherwise use an internally-created TemporaryStorage object that is named TemporaryStorage and that uses default settings for a TemporaryStorage object.
See also TemporaryStorage(5).
Name
Heap Objects — configure and initialize objects, with dependency injection
Description
A heap is a collection of associated objects, initialized from declarative configuration artifacts. All configurable objects in OpenIG are heap objects. Heap objects are created and initialized by associated heaplets, which retrieve any objects an object depends on from the heap. The heap configuration is included as an object in the GatewayHttpApplication configuration, as described in GatewayHttpApplication(5).
Usage
[ { "name": string, "type": string, "config": { object-specific configuration } }, ... ]
Properties
"name"
: string, required except for inline objectsThe unique name to give the heap object in the heap. This name is used to resolve the heap object, for example, when another heap object names a heap object dependency.
"type"
: string, requiredThe class name of the object to be created. To determine the type name, see the object's documentation in this reference.
"config"
: object, requiredThe configuration that is specific to the heap object being created.
If all the fields are optional and the configuration uses only default settings, you can omit the config field instead of including an empty config object as the field value.
Automatically Created Objects
OpenIG automatically creates some configuration objects that it needs for its own use. An automatically created object can be overridden by creating a heap object with the same name. Automatically created objects include the following:
"ApiProtectionFilter"
The default filter used to protect administrative APIs on reserved routes. Reserved routes are described in Section 2, "Reserved Routes".
Default: a filter that allows access only from the loopback address.
To override this filter, declare a different filter with the same name in the top-level heap found in
config.json
."LogSink"
The default object to use for writing all audit and performance logging.
Default: A ConsoleLogSink object named "LogSink" with the default configuration is added to the top-level heap.
Routes can use this object without explicitly defining it. To override this object, create a LogSink heap object with the same name.
See also ConsoleLogSink(5).
"TemporaryStorage"
The default object to use for managing temporary buffers.
Default: a TemporaryStorage object named "TemporaryStorage" with the default configuration is added to the top-level heap.
Routes can use this object without explicitly defining it. To override this object, create a TemporaryStorage heap object with the same name.
See also TemporaryStorage(5).
Implicit Properties
Every heap object has a set of implicit properties, which can be overridden on an object-by-object basis:
"logSink"
: stringSpecifies the heap object that should be used for audit and performance logging.
Default:
LogSink
."temporaryStorage"
: stringSpecifies the heap object that should be used for temporary buffer storage.
Default:
TemporaryStorage
.
Handlers
Handler objects process an HTTP request by producing an associated response.
Name
Chain — dispatch the request to ordered list of filters and finally a handler
Description
A chain is responsible for dispatching a request to an ordered list of filters, and finally a handler.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ Filter reference, ... ], "handler": Handler reference } }
Properties
"filters"
: array of Filter references, requiredAn 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, requiredEither the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
The chain dispatches to this handler once the request has traversed all of the specified filters.
See also Handlers.
Example
{ "name": "LoginChain", "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ "LoginFilter" ], "handler": "ClientHandler" } }
Name
ClientHandler — submit requests to remote servers
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ClientHandler", "config": { "connections": number, "disableReuseConnection": boolean, "disableRetries": boolean, "hostnameVerifier": string, "soTimeout": duration string, "connectionTimeout": duration string, "numberOfWorkers": number, "sslCipherSuites": array, "sslContextAlgorithm": string, "sslEnabledProtocols": array, "keyManager": KeyManager reference(s), "trustManager": TrustManager reference(s), } }
Properties
"connections"
: number, optionalThe maximum number of connections to open, from 1-64 inclusive.
Default: 64
"connectionTimeout"
: duration string, optionalAmount of time to wait to establish a connection, expressed as a duration
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:

"hostnameVerifier"
: string, optionalHow to handle hostname verification for outgoing SSL connections.
Set this to one of the following values:
ALLOW_ALL
: turn off verification.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:
ALLOW_ALL
"numberOfWorkers"
: number, optionalThe number of worker threads dedicated to processing outgoing requests.
Increasing the value of this attribute can be useful in deployments where a high number of simultaneous connections remain open, waiting for protected applications to respond.
Default: One thread per CPU available to the JVM.
"keyManager"
: KeyManager reference(s), optionalThe key manager(s) that handle(s) this client's keys and certificates.
The value of this field can be a single reference, or an array of references.
Provide either the name(s) of KeyManager object(s) defined in the heap, or specify the configuration object(s) inline.
You can specify either a single KeyManager, as in
"keyManager": "MyKeyManager"
, or an array of KeyManagers, 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, optionalArray of cipher suite names, used to restrict the cipher suites allowed when negotiating transport layer security for an HTTPS connection.
For details about the available cipher suite names, see the documentation for the Java virtual machine (JVM) used by the container where you run OpenIG. For Oracle Java, see the list of JSSE Cipher Suite Names.
Default: Allow any cipher suite supported by the JVM.
"sslContextAlgorithm"
: string, optionalThe
SSLContext
algorithm name, as listed in the table ofSSLContext
Algorithms for the Java Virtual Machine used by the container where OpenIG runs.Default:
TLS
"sslEnabledProtocols"
: array of strings, optionalArray of protocol names, used to restrict the protocols allowed when negotiating transport layer security for an HTTPS connection.
For details about the available protocol names, see the documentation for the Java virtual machine (JVM) used by the container where you run OpenIG. For Oracle Java, see the list of Additional JSSE Standard Names.
Default: Allow any protocol supported by the JVM.
"trustManager"
: TrustManager reference(s), optionalThe trust managers that handle(s) peers' public key certificates.
The value of this field can be a single reference, or an array of references.
Provide either the name(s) of TrustManager object(s) defined in the heap, or specify the configuration object(s) inline.
You can specify either a single TrustManager, as in
"trustManager": "MyTrustManager"
, or an array of KeyManagers, 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,
$JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts
.See also TrustManager(5).
Example
The following object configures a ClientHandler
named Client
, with non-default security settings:
{ "name": "Client", "type": "ClientHandler", "config": { "hostnameVerifier": "STRICT", "sslContextAlgorithm": "TLSv1.2", "keyManager": { "type": "KeyManager", "config": { "keystore": { "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks", "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }, "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }, "trustManager": { "type": "TrustManager", "config": { "keystore": { "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/truststore.jks", "password": "${system['trustpass']}" } } } } } }
Name
DesKeyGenHandler — generate a DES key
Description
Generates a DES key for use with OpenAM as described in Section 5.3.3, "Configuring Password Capture" in the Gateway Guide.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "DesKeyGenHandler" }
Name
DispatchHandler — dispatch to one of a list of handlers
Description
Dispatches to one of a list of handlers.
When an request is handled,
each handler's condition
is evaluated.
If a condition expression yields true
,
then the request is dispatched to the associated handler
with no further processing.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "DispatchHandler", "config": { "bindings": [ { "condition": expression, "handler": Handler reference, "baseURI": string, }, ... ] } }
Properties
"bindings"
: array of objects, requiredA list of bindings of conditions and associated handlers to dispatch to.
"condition"
: expression, optionalCondition to evaluate to determine if associated handler should be dispatched to. If omitted, then dispatch is unconditional.
See also Expressions(5).
"handler"
: Handler reference, requiredDispatch to this handler if the associated condition yields
true
.Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
See also Handlers.
"baseURI"
: string, optionalOverrides the existing request URI, making requests relative to a new base URI. Only scheme, host and port are used in the supplied URI.
Default: leave URI untouched.
Example
The following sample is from a SAML 2.0 federation configuration.
If the incoming URI starts with /saml
,
then OpenIG dispatches to a SamlFederationHandler.
If the user name is not set in the session context,
then the user has not authenticated with the SAML 2.0 Identity Provider,
so OpenIG dispatches to a SPInitiatedSSORedirectHandler
to initiate SAML 2.0 SSO from the Service Provider,
which is OpenIG.
All other requests go through a LoginChain handler:
{ "name": "DispatchHandler", "type": "DispatchHandler", "config": { "bindings": [ { "condition": "${matches(request.uri.path, '^/saml')}", "handler": "SamlFederationHandler" }, { "condition": "${empty session.username}", "handler": "SPInitiatedSSORedirectHandler", "baseURI": "http://www.example.com:8081" }, { "handler": "LoginChain", "baseURI": "http://www.example.com:8081" } ] } }
Name
MonitorEndpointHandler — return basic audit statistics in JSON format
Description
This handler collates basic audit statistics, returning them in JSON format.
Interface Stability: Deprecated (For details, see Section A.2, "ForgeRock Product Interface Stability".)
You decorate the objects to audit by adding your own audit tags. The handler updates the count of messages in progress, completed, and internal errors for each audit event, initializing the counts at OpenIG startup time. When accessed, it returns the sums organized by object under audit using the tags that you defined.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "MonitorEndpointHandler" }
Example
The following sample route adds a monitor endpoint
at /monitor
:
{ "handler": { "type": "MonitorEndpointHandler" }, "condition": "${request.method == 'GET' and request.uri.path == '/monitor'}" "audit": "Monitor route" }
After adding audit tags to a number of other routes, the JSON returned from the monitor endpoint shows statistics since OpenIG started. The following example is formatted for legibility:
{ "ForgeRock.com route": { "in progress": 0, "completed": 6, "internal errors": 0 }, "ForgeRock.org route": { "in progress": 0, "completed": 15, "internal errors": 0 }, "Monitor route": { "in progress": 1, "completed": 1, "internal errors": 0 }, "Static login route": { "in progress": 0, "completed": 12, "internal errors": 0 }, "HTTP Basic route": { "in progress": 0, "completed": 21, "internal errors": 3 } }
Name
Route — Configuration for handling a specified request
Description
In OpenIG, a route is represented by a separate JSON configuration file and that handles a request, described in Request(5), and context, described in Contexts(5), when a specified condition is met.
A top-level Router, as described in Router(5), is responsible for reloading the route configuration. Use a Router to call route handlers, rather than calling a route directly as the handler of the top-level configuration. By default the Router rereads the configurations periodically, so that configuration changes to routes apply without restarting OpenIG.
Each separate route has its own Heap of configuration objects. The route's Heap inherits from its parent Heap, which is the global heap for top-level routes, so the route configuration can reference configuration objects specified in the top-level Router configuration file.
For examples of route configurations see Chapter 11, "Configuring Routes" in the Gateway Guide.
Usage
{ "handler": Handler reference or inline Handler declaration, "heap": [ configuration object, ... ], "condition": expression, "monitor": boolean expression OR object, "name": string, "session": Session reference }
Properties
"handler"
: Handler reference, requiredFor 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 configuration objects, optionalHeap 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(5).
"condition"
: expression, optionalWhether the route accepts to handle the request.
Default: If the condition is not set, or is
null
, then this route accepts any request.All paths starting with
/openig
are reserved for administrative use by OpenIG. Expressions such as the following never match externally configured routes:${matches(request.uri.path, '^/openig/my/path')}
. In effect, such routes are ignored.See also Expressions(5).
"monitor"
: boolean expression OR object, optionalThis property lets you specify whether to maintain statistics about the route, an optionally to specify the percentiles in the distribution for which to record response times.
Use a boolean or boolean expression to activate monitoring with the default percentiles configuration. When the boolean expression resolves to
true
, statistics for the route are exposed over REST as described in "The REST API for Monitoring".Default:
false
(with percentiles0.999
,0.9999
, and0.99999
)Use an object instead of a boolean to specify percentiles:
{ "monitor": { "enabled": boolean expression OR boolean, "percentiles": array of numbers } }
The configuration object fields include the following:
"enabled"
: boolean expression, requiredWhether to maintain statistics about the route, as described above.
"percentiles"
: array of decimal numbers, optionalThe percentiles in the distribution for which to maintain response time statistics. If you specify percentiles, only those percentiles are used. The default percentile settings no longer apply.
Each value in the array is a decimal representation of a percentage. For example,
0.999
represents 99.9%.The statistic maintained for a percentile is the response time in milliseconds after which percentile of responses were sent. For example, the statistic for
0.999
corresponds to the response time in milliseconds after which 99.9% of responses were sent. The statistic for0.5
corresponds to the response time in milliseconds after which half of all responses were sent.Default:
[ 0.999, 0.9999, 0.99999 ]
"name"
: string, optionalName for the route, used by the Router to order the routes.
Default: Route configuration file name
"session"
: Session reference, optionalSession storage implementation used by this route, such as a JwtSession as described in JwtSession(5).
Provide either the name of a session storage object defined in the heap, or an inline session storage configuration object.
Default: do not change the session storage implementation for
session
.
The REST API for Monitoring
When the route has "monitor": "${true}"
,
monitoring statistics are exposed at a registered endpoint.
OpenIG logs the paths to registered endpoints
when the log level is INFO
or finer.
Look for messages such as the following in the log:
Monitoring endpoint available at '/openig/api/system/objects/router-handler/routes/00-monitor/monitoring'
To access the endpoint over HTTP or HTTPS,
prefix the path with the OpenIG scheme, host, and port
to obtain a full URL, such as
http://localhost:8080/openig/api/system/objects/router-handler/routes/00-monitor/monitoring
.
The monitoring REST API supports only read (HTTP GET). For a detailed introduction to common REST APIs, see Section 5, "About ForgeRock Common REST".
In the present implementation, OpenIG does not have mechanisms
for resetting or for persisting monitoring statistics.
When you set "monitor": true
on the route,
or when you start the OpenIG container,
monitoring statistics are collected.
When the OpenIG container stops, monitoring statistics are discarded.
A JSON monitoring resource with the default percentiles has the following form. Field values are described in comments:
{ "requests": { "total": number, // Total requests "active": number // Requests being processed }, "responses": { "total": number, // Total responses "info": number, // Informational responses (1xx) "success": number, // Successful responses (2xx) "redirect": number, // Redirection responses (3xx) "clientError": number, // Client error responses (4xx) "serverError": number, // Server error responses (5xx) "other": number, // Responses with status code >= 600 "errors": number, // An exception was thrown. "null": number // Responses not handled by OpenIG }, "throughput": { // Responses per second "mean": number, // Mean (average) since monitoring started "lastMinute": number, // One-minute moving average rate "last5Minutes": number, // Five-minute moving average rate "last15Minutes": number // 15-minute moving average rate }, "responseTime": { // Response times in milliseconds "mean": number, // Mean (average) response time "median": number, // Median response time "standardDeviation": number, // Std. dev. for response time "total": number, // Cumulative resp. processing time "percentiles": { // Response times in ms after which: "0.999": number, // 99.9% of responses were sent "0.9999": number, // 99.99% of responses were sent "0.99999": number // 99.999% of responses were sent } } }
Tip
When reading percentiles, use map notation. The keys start with a digit, and so are not suitable for use with dot notation, as shown in the following example:
threeNines = responseTime.percentiles['0.999'] // Correct threeNines = responseTime.percentiles.0.999 // Wrong: syntax error
The JSON resource is written from a live object. As a result, field values can appear as inconsistent. For example, the sum of responses and in-flight requests might be different from the count of all requests. Counters can change as the JSON representation of the object is written.
Name
Router — Route processing to distinct configurations
Description
A Router is a handler that routes request processing to separate configuration files. Each separate configuration file then defines a Route, as described in Route(5).
The Router reloads configuration files for Routes from the specified directory at the specified scan interval.
Usage
{ "name": "Router", "type": "Router", "config": { "defaultHandler": Handler reference, "directory": expression, "scanInterval": integer } }
An alternative value for type is RouterHandler.
Properties
"defaultHandler"
: Handler reference, optionalDefault handler for this Router.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
The router routes the request to the first route whose condition expression is satisfied. If no route condition matches, then the request is routed to the default handler if one is configured.
Default: if no default route is set either here or in the route configurations, then OpenIG aborts the request with an internal error.
See also Handlers.
"directory"
: expression, optionalBase directory from which to load configuration files for routes.
Default: default base directory for route configuration files. For details, see Section 3.3, "Installing OpenIG" in the Gateway Guide.
Important
If you define a new Router in the default base directory, then you must set the directory property to a different directory from the default base directory in order to avoid a circular reference to the new Router.
See also Expressions(5).
"scanInterval"
: integer, optionalInterval in seconds after which OpenIG scans the specified directory for changes to configuration files.
Default: 10 (seconds)
To prevent OpenIG from reloading Route configurations after you except at startup, set the scan interval to -1.
Name
SamlFederationHandler — play the role of SAML 2.0 Service Provider
Description
A handler to play the role of SAML 2.0 Service Provider (SP).
Note
This handler does not support filtering. Specifically, do not use this as the handler for a Chain, which can include filters.
More generally, do not use this handler
when its use depends on something in the response.
The response can be handled independently of OpenIG,
and can be null
when control returns to OpenIG.
For example, do not use this handler in a SequenceHandler
where the postcondition
depends on the response.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "SamlFederationHandler", "config": { "assertionMapping": object, "redirectURI": string, "assertionConsumerEndpoint": string, "authnContext": string, "authnContextDelimiter": string, "logoutURI": string, "sessionIndexMapping": string, "singleLogoutEndpoint": string, "singleLogoutEndpointSoap": string, "SPinitiatedSLOEndpoint": string, "SPinitiatedSSOEndpoint": string, "subjectMapping": string } }
Properties
"assertionMapping"
: object, requiredThe assertionMapping defines how to transform attributes from the incoming assertion to attribute value pairs in OpenIG.
Each entry in the
assertionMapping
object has the formlocalName: incomingName
, where incomingName is used to fetch the value from the incoming assertion, and localName is the name of the attribute set in the session. Avoid using dot characters (.
) in the localName, as the.
character also serves as a query separator in expressions.The following shows an example of an assertionMapping object:
{ "username": "mail", "password": "mailPassword" }
If the incoming assertion contains the statement:
mail = george@example.com
mailPassword = costanza
Then the following values are set in the session:
username = george@example.com
password = costanza
For this to work, you must 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.When protecting multiple service providers, use unique localName settings. Otherwise different handlers can overwrite each others' data.
"redirectURI"
: string, requiredSet this to the page that the filter used to HTTP POST a login form recognizes as the login page for the protected application.
This is how OpenIG and the Federation component work together to provide SSO. When OpenIG 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.
"assertionConsumerEndpoint"
: string, optionalDefault:
fedletapplication
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute you must change the metadata to match.
"authnContext"
: string, optionalName of the session field to hold the value of the authentication context. Avoid using dot characters (
.
) in the field name, as the.
character also serves as a query separator in expressions.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 OpenIG 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"
: string, optionalThe authentication context delimiter used when there are multiple authentication contexts in the assertion.
Default:
|
"logoutURI"
: string, optionalSet 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"
: string, optionalName of the session field to hold the value of the session index. Avoid using dot characters (
.
) in the field name, as the.
character also serves as a query separator in expressions.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 OpenIG 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"
: string, optionalDefault:
fedletSLORedirect
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute you must change the metadata to match.
"singleLogoutEndpointSoap"
: string, optionalDefault:
fedletSloSoap
(same as the Fedlet)If you modify this attribute you must change the metadata to match.
"SPinitiatedSLOEndpoint"
: string, optionalDefault:
SPInitiatedSLO
If you modify this attribute you must change the metadata to match.
"SPinitiatedSSOEndpoint"
: string, optionalDefault:
SPInitiatedSSO
If you modify this attribute you must change the metadata to match.
"subjectMapping"
: string, optionalName of the session field to hold the value of the subject name. Avoid using dot characters (
.
) in the field name, as the.
character also serves as a query separator in expressions.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 OpenIG 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
The following sample configuration is corresponds to a scenario where OpenIG 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" } }
Name
ScriptableHandler — handle a request by using a script
Description
Handles a request by using a script.
The script must return either a Promise<Response, NeverThrowsException> or a Response.
The script has access to the following global objects:
- Any parameters passed as args
You can use the configuration to pass parameters to the script by specifying an args object.
Take care when naming keys in the args object. Attempts to reuse the name of another global object cause the script to fail and OpenIG to return a response with HTTP status code 500 Internal Server Error.
attributes
The attributes object provides access to a context map of arbitrary attributes, which is a mechanism for transferring transient state between components when processing a single request.
Use
session
for maintaining state between successive requests from the same logical client.context
The processing context.
This context is the leaf of a chain of Contexts. It provides access to other Context types, such as SessionContext, AttributesContext, and ClientContext, through the
context.asContext(ContextClass.class)
method.request
The HTTP request.
globals
This object is a Map that holds variables that persist across successive invocations.
http
An embedded client for making outbound HTTP requests, which is an org.forgerock.http.Client.
If a
"clientHandler"
is set in the configuration, then that Handler is used. Otherwise, the default ClientHandler configuration is used.For details, see Handlers.
ldap
The ldap object provides an embedded LDAP client.
Use this client to perform outbound LDAP requests, such as LDAP authentication.
logger
The logger object provides access to the server log sink.
session
The session object provides access to the session context, which is a mechanism for maintaining state when processing a successive requests from the same logical client or end-user.
Use
attributes
for transferring transient state between components when processing a single request.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ScriptableHandler", "config": { "type": string, "file": expression, // Use either "file" "source": string, // or "source", but not both. "args": object, "clientHandler": Handler reference } }
Properties
"type"
: string, requiredThe Internet media type (formerly MIME type) of the script,
"application/x-groovy"
for Groovy"file"
: expressionPath to the file containing the script; mutually exclusive with
"source"
Relative paths in the file field are relative to the base location for scripts. The base location depends on the configuration. For details, see Section 3.3, "Installing OpenIG" in the Gateway Guide.
The base location for Groovy scripts is on the classpath when the scripts are executed. If therefore some Groovy scripts are not in the default package, but instead have their own package names, they belong in the directory corresponding to their package name. For example, a script in package
com.example.groovy
belongs underopenig-base/scripts/groovy/com/example/groovy/
."source"
: stringThe script as a string; mutually exclusive with
"file"
"args"
: map, optionalParameters passed from the configuration to the script.
The configuration object is a map whose values can be scalars, arrays, objects and so forth, as in the following example.
{ "args": { "title": "Coffee time", "status": 418, "reason": [ "Not Acceptable", "I'm a teapot", "Acceptable" ], "names": { "1": "koffie", "2": "kafe", "3": "cafe", "4": "kafo" } } }
The script can then access the args parameters in the same way as other global objects. The following example sets the response status to
I'm a teapot
:response.status = Status.valueOf(418, reason[1])
For details regarding this status code see RFC 7168, Section 2.3.3 418 I'm a Teapot.
Args parameters can reference objects defined in the heap using expressions. For example, the following excerpt shows the heap that defines
SampleFilter
:{ "heap": [ { "name": "SampleFilter", "type": "SampleFilter", "config": { "name": "X-Greeting", "value": "Hello world" } } ] }
To pass
SampleFilter
to the script, the following example uses an expression in the args parameters:{ "args": { "filter": "${heap['SampleFilter']}" } }
The script can then reference
SampleFilter
asfilter
.For details about the heap, see Heap Objects(5).
"clientHandler"
, ClientHandler reference, optionalA Handler for making outbound HTTP requests.
Default: Use the default ClientHandler.
For details, see Handlers.
Name
SequenceHandler — process request through sequence of handlers
Description
Processes a request through a sequence of handlers.
This allows multi-request processing such as retrieving a form,
extracting form content (for example, nonce)
and submitting in a subsequent request.
Each handler
in the bindings
is dispatched to in order;
the binding postcondition
determines
if the sequence should continue.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "SequenceHandler", "config": { "bindings": [ { "handler": Handler reference, "postcondition": expression } ] } }
Properties
"bindings"
: array of objects, requiredA list of bindings of handler and postcondition to determine that sequence continues.
"handler"
: Handler reference, requiredDispatch to this handler.
Either the name of the handler heap object to dispatch to, or an inline Handler configuration object.
See also Handlers.
"postcondition"
: expression, optionalEvaluated to determine if the sequence continues.
Default: unconditional.
See also Expressions(5).
Name
StaticResponseHandler — create static response to a request
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": number, "reason": string, "version": string, "headers": { name: [ expression, ... ], ... }, "entity": expression } }
Properties
"status"
: number, requiredThe response status code (for example, 200).
"reason"
: string, optionalThe response status reason (for example,
"OK"
)."version"
: string, optionalProtocol version. Default:
"HTTP/1.1"
."headers"
: array of objects, optionalHeader fields to set in the response. The
name
specifies the header name, with an associated array of expressions to evaluate as values."entity"
: expression, optionalThe message entity expression to be evaluated and included in the response.
Conforms to the
Content-Type
header and setsContent-Length
.See also Expressions(5).
Example
{ "name": "ErrorHandler", "type":"StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 500, "reason": "Error", "entity": "<html> <h2>Epic #FAIL</h2> </html>" } }
Filters
Filter objects intercept requests and responses during processing.
Name
AssignmentFilter — conditionally assign values to expressions
Description
Conditionally assigns values to expressions before the request and after the response is handled.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "AssignmentFilter", "config": { "onRequest": [ { "condition": expression, "target": lvalue-expression, "value": expression }, ... ], "onResponse": [ { "condition": expression, "target": lvalue-expression, "value": expression }, ... ] } }
Properties
"onRequest"
: array of objects, optionalDefines a list of assignment bindings to evaluate before the request is handled.
"onResponse"
: array of objects, optionalDefines a list of assignment bindings to evaluate after the response is handled.
"condition"
: expression, optionalExpression to evaluate to determine if an assignment should occur. Omitting the condition makes the assignment unconditional.
See also Expressions(5).
"target"
: lvalue-expression, requiredExpression that yields the target object whose value is to be set.
See also Expressions(5).
"value"
: expression, optionalExpression that yields the value to be set in the target.
See also Expressions(5).
Example
This is an example of how you would capture credentials and store them in the OpenIG session during a login request. Notice the credentials are captured on the request, but not marked as valid until the response returns a positive 302. The credentials would then be used to login a user to a different application:
{ "name": "PortalLoginCaptureFilter", "type": "AssignmentFilter", "config": { "onRequest": [ { "target": "${session.authUsername}", "value": "${request.form['username'][0]}", }, { "target": "${session.authPassword}", "value": "${request.form['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}", } ] } }
Name
CookieFilter — manage, suppress, relay cookies
Description
Manages, suppresses and relays cookies. Managed cookies are intercepted by the cookie filter itself and stored in the gateway session; managed cookies are not transmitted to the user agent. Suppressed cookies are removed from both request and response. Relayed cookies are transmitted freely between user agent and remote server and vice-versa.
If a cookie does not appear in one of the three action parameters, then
the default action is performed, controlled by setting the
defaultAction
parameter. If unspecified, the default
action is to manage all cookies. In the event a cookie appears in more than
one configuration parameter, then it will be selected in the order of

Name
EntityExtractFilter — extract pattern from message entity
Description
Extracts regular expression patterns from a message entity. The extraction results are stored in a "target" object. For a given matched pattern, as described in Patterns(5), the value stored in the object is either the result of applying its associated pattern template (if specified) or the match result itself otherwise.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "EntityExtractFilter", "config": { "messageType": string, "charset": string, "target": lvalue-expression, "bindings": [ { "key": string, "pattern": pattern, "template": pattern-template }, ... ] } }
Properties
"messageType"
: string, requiredThe message type to extract patterns from.
Must be one of:
REQUEST
,RESPONSE
."charset"
: string, optionalOverrides the character set encoding specified in message.
Default: the message encoding is used.
"target"
: lvalue-expression, requiredExpression that yields the target object that contains the extraction results.
The bindings determine what type of object is stored in the target location.
The object stored in the target location is a Map<String, String>. You can then access its content with
${target.key}
or${target['key']}
.See also Expressions(5).
"key"
: string, requiredName of element in target object to contain an extraction result.
"pattern"
: pattern, requiredThe regular expression pattern to find in the entity.
See also Patterns(5).
"template"
: pattern-template, optionalThe template to apply to the pattern and store in the named target element.
Default: store the match result itself.
See also Patterns(5).
Examples
Extracts a nonce from the response, which is typically a login page,
and sets its value in the attributes context
to be used by the downstream filter posting the login form.
The nonce value would be accessed using the following expression:
${attributes.extract.wpLoginToken}
.
The pattern finds all matches in the HTTP body of the form
wpLogintoken value="abc"
.
Setting the template to $1
assigns the value abc
to
attributes.extract.wpLoginToken
:
{ "name": "WikiNoncePageExtract", "type": "EntityExtractFilter", "config": { "messageType": "response", "target": "${attributes.extract}", "bindings": [ { "key": "wpLoginToken", "pattern": "wpLoginToken\"\s.*value=\"(.*)\"", "template": "$1" } ] } }
The following example reads the response looking for the OpenAM login page.
When found, it sets isLoginPage = true
to be used in a SwitchFilter to post the login credentials:
{ "name": "FindLoginPage", "type": "EntityExtractFilter", "config": { "messageType": "response", "target": "${attributes.extract}", "bindings": [ { "key": "isLoginPage", "pattern": "OpenAM\s\(Login\)", "template": "true" } ] } }
Name
FileAttributesFilter — retrieve record from a file
Description
Retrieves and exposes a record from a delimiter-separated file. Lookup
of the record is performed using a specified key
, whose
value
is derived from an expression. The
resulting record is exposed in an object whose location is specified by the
target
expression. If a matching record cannot be found,
then the resulting object is empty.
The retrieval of the record is performed lazily; it does not occur
until the first attempt to access a value in the target
.
This defers the overhead of file operations and text processing until a value
is first required. This also means that the value expression is not evaluated
until the object is first accessed.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "FileAttributesFilter", "config": { "file": expression, "charset": string, "separator": string, "header": boolean, "fields": [ string, ... ], "target": lvalue-expression, "key": string, "value": expression } }
For an example see Section 4.2, "Log in With Credentials From a File" in the Gateway Guide.
Properties
"file"
: expression, requiredThe file containing the record to be read.
See also Expressions(5).
"charset"
: string, optionalThe character set the file is encoded in. Default:
"UTF-8"
."separator"
: separator identifier string, optionalThe separator character, which is one of the following:
COLON
Unix-style colon-separated values, with backslash as the escape character.
COMMA
Comma-separated values, with support for quoted literal strings.
TAB
Tab separated values, with support for quoted literal strings.
Default:
COMMA
"header"
: boolean, optionalIndicates the first line of the file contains the set of defined field keys. Default:
true
."fields"
: array of strings, optionalExplicit field keys in the order they appear in a record, overriding any existing field header. Default: use field header.
"target"
: lvalue-expression, requiredExpression that yields the target object to contain the record.
The target object is a
Map<String, String>
, where the fields are the keys. For example, if the target is${attributes.file}
and the record has ausername
field and apassword
field mentioned in the fields list, Then you can access the user name as${attributes.file.username}
and the password as${attributes.file.password}
.See also Expressions(5).
"key"
: string, requiredThe name of the field in the file to perform the lookup on.
"value"
: expression, requiredExpression that yields the value to be looked-up within the file.
See also Expressions(5).
Name
HeaderFilter — remove and add headers
Description
Removes headers from and adds headers to a message. Headers are added to any existing headers in the message. To replace, remove the header and add it.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": string, "remove": [ string, ... ], "add": { name: [ string, ... ], ... } } }
Properties
"messageType"
: string, requiredIndicates the type of message to filter headers for. Must be one of:
"REQUEST"
,"RESPONSE"
."remove"
: array of strings, optionalThe names of header fields to remove from the message.
"add"

{ "name": "ReplaceHostFilter", "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "REQUEST", "remove": [ "host" ], "add": { "host": [ "myhost.com" ] } } }
Add a Set-Cookie header in the response:
{ "name": "SetCookieFilter", "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "RESPONSE", "add": { "Set-Cookie": [ "mysession=12345" ] } } }
Add headers custom1
and custom2
to the request:
{ "name": "SetCustomHeaders", "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "REQUEST", "add": { "custom1": [ "12345", "6789" ], "custom2": [ "abcd" ] } } }
Name
HttpBasicAuthFilter — perform HTTP Basic authentication
Description
Performs authentication through the HTTP Basic authentication scheme. For more information, see RFC 2617.
If challenged for authentication
via a 401 Unauthorized
status code by the server,
this filter retries the request with credentials attached.
Once an HTTP authentication challenge is issued from the remote server,
all subsequent requests to that remote server that pass through the filter
include the user credentials.
If authentication fails (including the case of no credentials yielded from expressions), then processing is diverted to the specified authentication failure handler.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "HttpBasicAuthFilter", "config": { "username": expression, "password": expression, "failureHandler": Handler reference, "cacheHeader": boolean } }
Properties
"username"
: expression, requiredExpression that yields the username to supply during authentication.
See also Expressions(5).
"password"
: expression, requiredExpression that yields the password to supply during authentication.
See also Expressions(5).
"failureHandler"
: Handler reference, requiredDispatch to this Handler if authentication fails.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
See also Handlers.
"cacheHeader"
: boolean, optionalWhether to cache credentials in the session after the first successful authentication, and then replay those credentials for subsequent authentications in the same session.
With
"cacheHeader": false
, the filter generates the header for each request. This is useful, for example, when users change their passwords during a browser session.Default:
true
Example
{ "name": "TomcatAuthenticator", "type": "HttpBasicAuthFilter", "config": { "username": "tomcat", "password": "tomcat", "failureHandler": "TomcatAuthFailureHandler", "cacheHeader": false } }
Name
LocationHeaderFilter — rewrites Location headers
Description
Rewrites Location headers on responses that generate a redirect that would take the user directly to the application being proxied rather than taking the user through OpenIG.
For example, if OpenIG listens on
https://proxy.example.com:443/
and the application it
protects listens on http://www.example.com:8080/
, then
you can configure this filter to rewrite redirects that would take the user
to locations under http://www.example.com:8080/
to go
instead to locations under
https://proxy.example.com:443/
.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "LocationHeaderFilter", "config": { "baseURI": expression } }
An alternative value for type is RedirectFilter.
Properties
"baseURI"
: expression, optionalThe base URI of the OpenIG instance. This is used to rewrite the Location header on the response.
Default: Redirect to the original URI specified in the request.
See also Expressions(5).
Example
{ "name": "LocationRewriter", "type": "LocationHeaderFilter", "config": { "baseURI": "https://proxy.example.com:443/" } }
Name
OAuth2ClientFilter — Authenticate an end user with OAuth 2.0 delegated authorization
Description
An OAuth2ClientFilter is a filter that authenticates an end user using OAuth 2.0 delegated authorization. The filter can act as an OpenID Connect relying party as well as an OAuth 2.0 client.
The client filter does not include information about identity providers, or information about static registration with identity providers. For information about an identity provider, see Issuer(5). For information about registration with an identity provider, see ClientRegistration(5).
In the case where all users share the same identity provider, you can configure the filter as a client of a single provider by referencing a single client registration name for the filter. You can also configure the filter to work with multiple providers, taking the user to a login handler page—often full of provider logos, and known as a Nascar page. The name comes from Nascar race cars, some of which are covered with sponsors' logos.—to choose a provider.
What an OAuth2ClientFilter does depends on the incoming request URI. In the following list clientEndpoint represents the value of the clientEndpoint in the filter configuration:
clientEndpoint/login/?discovery=user-input&goto=url
Using the user-input value, discover and register dynamically with the end user's OpenID Provider or with the client registration endpoint as described in RFC 7591.
Upon successful registration, redirect the end user to the provider for authentication and authorization consent before redirecting the user-agent back to the callback client endpoint.
clientEndpoint/login/registration?goto=url
Redirect the end user for authorization with the specified registration, which is the name of a ClientRegistration configuration as described in ClientRegistration(5).
The provider corresponding to the registration then authenticates the end user and obtains authorization consent before redirecting the user-agent back to the callback client endpoint.
Ultimately if the entire process is successful, the filter saves the authorization state in the context and redirects the user-agent to the specified URL.
clientEndpoint/logout?goto=url
Remove the authorization state for the end user and redirect to the specified URL.
clientEndpoint/callback
Handle the callback from the OAuth 2.0 authorization server that occurs as part of the authorization process.
If the callback is handled successfully, the filter saves the authorization state in the context at the specified target location and redirects to the URL during login.
- Other request URIs
Restore authorization state in the specified target location and call the next filter or handler in the chain.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "OAuth2ClientFilter", "config": { "clientEndpoint": expression, "failureHandler": Handler reference, "discoveryHandler": Handler reference, "loginHandler": Handler reference, "registration": ClientRegistration reference, "metadata": dynamic registration client metadata object, "cacheExpiration": duration string, "target": expression, "defaultLoginGoto": expression, "defaultLogoutGoto": expression, "requireHttps": boolean, "requireLogin": boolean } }
Properties
"clientEndpoint"
: expression, requiredBase URI for the filter.
For example, if you set
"clientEndpoint": "/openid"
, then the service URIs for this filter on your OpenIG server are/openid/login
,/openid/logout
, and/openid/callback
.See also Expressions(5).
"failureHandler"
: Handler reference, requiredInvoke this Handler if authentication fails.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
If this handler is invoked, then the target in the context is populated with information about the client registration, and the error
The failure object in the target is a simple map. It has the following layout:
{ "client_registration": "ClientRegistration name string", "error": { "realm": "optional string", "scope": [ "optional required scope string", ... ], "error": "optional string", "error_description": "optional string", "error_uri": "optional string" }, "access_token": "string", "id_token": "string", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": "number", "scope": [ "optional scope string", ... ], "client_endpoint": "URL string" }
In the failure object, the following fields are not always present. Their presence depends on when the failure occurs:
"access_token"
"id_token"
"token_type"
"expires_in"
"scope"
"client_endpoint"
See also Handlers.
"discoveryHandler"
: Handler reference, optionalInvoke this HTTP client handler to communicate with the OpenID Provider for OpenID Connect Discovery.
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: OpenIG uses the default ClientHandler.
See also Handlers, ClientHandler(5).
"loginHandler"
: Handler reference, required when multiple providers are configuredInvoke this Handler the user must choose a provider.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
This handler allows the user to choose a client registration, as in the following example that allows the user to choose between
openam
andgoogle
:{ "name": "NascarPage", "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 200, "entity": "<html><p><a href='/openid/login?registration=openam&goto=${urlEncode(contexts.router.originalUri)}' >OpenAM Login</a></p> <p><a href='/openid/login?registration=google&goto=${urlEncode(contexts.router.originalUri)}' >Google Login</a></p> </html>" } }
See also Handlers.
"registration"
: ClientRegistration reference, required when a single provider is configuredUse this ClientRegistration to authenticate OpenIG with the provider.
The value represents a static client registration with a provider as described in ClientRegistration(5).
"metadata"
: client metadata object, required for dynamic client registration and ignored otherwiseThis object holds client metadata as described in OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0, and optionally a list of scopes. See that document for additional details and a full list of fields.
This object can also hold client metadata as described in RFC 7591, OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Protocol. See that RFC for additional details.
The following partial list of metadata fields is not exhaustive, but includes metadata that is useful with OpenAM as OpenID Provider:
"redirect_uris"
: array of URI strings, requiredThe array of redirection URIs to use when dynamically registering this client.
"client_name"
: string, optionalName of the client to present to the end user.
"scopes"
: array of strings, optionalArray of scope strings to request of the OpenID Provider.
"cacheExpiration"
: duration string, optionalDuration for which to cache user-info resources.
OpenIG lazily fetches user info from the OpenID provider. In other words, OpenIG only fetches the information when a downstream Filter or Handler uses the user info. Caching allows OpenIG to avoid repeated calls to OpenID providers when reusing the information over a short period.
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:

Set this to disabled or zero to disable caching. When caching is disabled, user info is still lazily fetched.
"target"
: expression, optionalExpression that yields the target object whose value is to be set, such as
${attributes.openid}
.Default:
${attributes.openid}
See also Expressions(5).
"defaultLoginGoto"
: expression, optionalThe URI to redirect to after successful authentication and authorization.
Default: return an empty page.
See also Expressions(5).
"defaultLogoutGoto"
: expression, optionalThe URI to redirect to after successful logout.
Default: return an empty page.
See also Expressions(5).
"requireHttps"
: boolean, optionalWhether to require that requests use the HTTPS scheme.
Default: true.
"requireLogin"
: boolean, optionalWhether to require authentication for all incoming requests.
Default: true.
Example
The following example configures an OAuth 2.0 client filter.
The base client endpoint is /openid
.
The filter uses well-known configuration endpoints
to obtain configuration information for OpenAM and for Google as providers.
The client credentials are not shown.
When a incoming request is made to /openid/login
,
this filter takes the user to a NascarPage to choose an identity provider.
It then handles negotiation for authorization with the provider.
If the authorization process completes successfully,
then the filter injects the authorization state data
into attributes.openid
.
At the end of the interaction, the aim of this configuration is simply to dump the data obtained back in the response:
{ "name": "OpenIDConnectClient", "type": "OAuth2ClientFilter", "config": { "target" : "${attributes.openid}", "clientEndpoint" : "/openid", "loginHandler" : "NascarPage", "failureHandler" : "Dump", "defaultLoginGoto" : "/dump", "defaultLogoutGoto" : "/unprotected", "requireHttps" : false, "requireLogin" : true } }
For details regarding configuration of providers, see Issuer(5) and ClientRegistration(5).
Notice that this configuration is for development and testing purposes only, and is not secure ("requireHttps": false). Make sure you do require HTTPS in production environments.

OAuth2ResourceServerFilter — validate a request containing an OAuth 2.0 access token
Description
An OAuth2ResourceServerFilter is a filter
that validates a request containing an OAuth 2.0 access token.
The filter expects an OAuth 2.0 token
from the HTTP Authorization header of the request,
such as the following example header,
where the OAuth 2.0 access token is
1fc0e143-f248-4e50-9c13-1d710360cec9
:
Authorization: Bearer 1fc0e143-f248-4e50-9c13-1d710360cec9
The filter extracts the access token, and then validates it against the configured tokenInfoEndpoint URL.
On successful validation, the filter includes the token info from the authorization server response as JSON in the context at the location specified by the target setting. Subsequent filters and handlers can access the token info through the context.
Regarding errors, if the filter configuration and access token together result in an invalid request to the authorization server, the filter returns an HTTP 400 Bad Request response to the user-agent.
If the access token is missing from the request, the filter returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response to the user-agent:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="OpenIG"
If the access token is not valid, for example, because it has expired, the filter also returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response to the user-agent.
If the scopes for the access token do not match the specified required scopes, the filter returns an HTTP 403 Forbidden response to the user-agent.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "OAuth2ResourceServerFilter", "config": { "providerHandler": Handler reference, "scopes": [ expression, ... ], "tokenInfoEndpoint": URL string, "cacheExpiration": duration string, "requireHttps": boolean, "realm": string, "target": expression } }
An alternative value for type is OAuth2RSFilter.
Properties
"providerHandler"
: Handler reference, optionalInvoke this HTTP client handler to send token info requests.
Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
Default: OpenIG uses the default ClientHandler.
See also Handlers, ClientHandler(5).
"scopes"
: array of expressions, requiredThe list of required OAuth 2.0 scopes for this protected resource.
See also Expressions(5).
"tokenInfoEndpoint"
: URL string, requiredThe URL to the token info endpoint of the OAuth 2.0 authorization server.
"cacheExpiration"
: duration string, optionalDuration for which to cache OAuth 2.0 access tokens.
Caching allows OpenIG to avoid repeated requests for token info when reusing the information over a short period.

PasswordReplayFilter — replay credentials with a single filter
Description
Replays credentials in a single composite filter for the following cases:
When the request is for a login page
When the response contains a login page
When the response contains a login page, a PasswordReplayFilter can extract values from the response entity and reuse the values when replaying credentials.
A PasswordReplayFilter does not retry failed authentication attempts.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "PasswordReplayFilter", "config": { "request": request configuration object, "loginPage": expression, "loginPageContentMarker": pattern, "credentials": Filter reference, "headerDecryption": crypto configuration object, "loginPageExtractions": [ extract configuration object, ... ] } }
Properties
"request"
: request configuration object, requiredThe request that replays the credentials.
The request configuration object has the following fields:
"method"
: string, requiredThe HTTP method to be performed on the resource such as
GET
orPOST
."uri"
: string, requiredThe fully qualified URI of the resource to access such as
http://www.example.com/login
."entity"
: expression, optionalThe entity body to include in the request.
This setting is mutually exclusive with the
form
setting when themethod
is set toPOST
.See also Expressions(5).
"form"
: object, optionalA form to include in the request.
The
param
specifies the form parameter name. Its value is an array of expressions to evaluate as form field values.This setting is mutually exclusive with the
entity
setting when themethod
is set toPOST
."headers"
: object, optionalHeader fields to set in the request.
The
name
specifies the header name. Its value is an array of expressions to evaluate as header values."version"
: string, optionalThe HTTP protocol version.
Default:
"HTTP/1.1"
.
The implementation uses a StaticRequestFilter. The fields are the same as those described in StaticRequestFilter(5).
"loginPage"
: expression, required unless loginPageContentMarker is definedAn expression that is true when a login page is requested, false otherwise.
For example, the following expression specifies that an HTTP GET to the path
/login
is a request for a login page:${matches(request.uri.path, '/login') and (request.method == 'GET')}
OpenIG only evaluates the expression for the request, not for the response.
See also Expressions(5).
"loginPageContentMarker"
: pattern, required unless loginPage is definedA pattern that matches when a response entity is that of a login page.
See also Patterns(5).
"credentials"
: Filter reference, optionalFilter that injects credentials, making them available for replay. Consider using a
FileAttributesFilter
or aSqlAttributesFilter
.When this is not specified, credentials must be made available to the request by other means.
See also Filters.
"headerDecryption"
: crypto configuration object, optionalObject to decrypt request headers that contain credentials to replay.
The crypto configuration object has the following fields:
"key"
: expression, requiredBase64 encoded key value.
See also Expressions(5).
"algorithm"
: string, optionalAlgorithm used for decryption.
Default:
AES/ECB/PKCS5Padding
"keyType"
: string, optionalAlgorithm name for the secret key.
Default:
AES
"headers"
: array of strings, optionalThe names of header fields to decrypt.
Default: Do not decrypt any headers.
"loginPageExtractions"
: extract configuration array, optionalObject to extract values from the login page entity.
The extract configuration array is a series of configuration objects. To extract multiple values, use multiple extract configuration objects. Each object has the following fields:
"name"
: string, requiredName of the field where the extracted value is put.
The names are mapped into
attributes.extracted
.For example, if the name is
nonce
, the value can be obtained with the expression${attributes.extracted.nonce}
.The name
isLoginPage
is reserved to hold a boolean that indicates whether the response entity is a login page."pattern"
: pattern, requiredThe regular expression pattern to find in the entity.
The pattern must contain one capturing group. (If it contains more than one, only the value matching the first group is placed into
attributes.extracted
.)For example, suppose the login page entity contains a nonce required to authenticate, and the nonce in the page looks like
nonce='n-0S6_WzA2Mj'
. To extractn-0S6_WzA2Mj
, set"pattern": " nonce='(.*)'"
.See also Patterns(5).
Examples
The following example route authenticates requests using static credentials
whenever the request is for /login
.
This PasswordReplayFilter example does not include any mechanism
for remembering when authentication has already been successful.
It simply replays the authentication every time
that the request is for /login
:
{ "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "PasswordReplayFilter", "config": { "loginPage": "${request.uri.path == '/login'}", "request": { "method": "POST", "uri": "https://www.example.com:8444/login", "form": { "username": [ "MY_USERNAME" ], "password": [ "MY_PASSWORD" ] } } } } ], "handler": "ClientHandler" } } }

PolicyEnforcementFilter — enforce policy decisions from OpenAM
Description
This filter requests policy decisions from OpenAM based on the request context, the original URI, and OpenAM policies. The request is either allowed or denied.
If the request is allowed, processing continues. If the request is denied, OpenIG returns HTTP 403 Unauthorized.
Unlike OpenAM policy agents, the current implementation does not manage advices or attributes in the policy decision. It allows you to specify the subject by SSO token or JWT, but not by claims. To mimic the behavior of not enforced URL settings and similar OpenAM policy agent settings, configure the route to avoid processing such requests with this filter.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "PolicyEnforcementFilter", "config": { "openamUrl": URI expression, "pepUsername": expression, "pepPassword": expression, "ssoTokenSubject": expression, "jwtSubject": expression, "policiesHandler": Handler reference, "realm": string, "ssoTokenHeader": string, "application": string, "cacheMaxExpiration": duration string } }
Properties
"openamUrl"
: URI expression, requiredThe URL to an OpenAM service, such as
https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/
.See also Expressions(5).
"pepUsername"
: expression, requiredThe OpenAM username of a user with access to request policy decisions.
See also Expressions(5).
"pepPassword"
: expression, requiredThe OpenAM password of the user with access to request policy decisions.
See also Expressions(5).
"ssoTokenSubject"
: expression, required if"jwtSubject"
is missingAn expression evaluating to the OpenAM SSO token ID string for the subject making the request to the protected resource.
See also Expressions(5).
"jwtSubject"
: expression, required if"ssoTokenSubject"
is missingAn expression evaluating to the JWT string for the subject making the request to the protected resource.
See also Expressions(5).
"policiesHandler"
: Handler reference, optionalThe handler to use when requesting policy decisions from OpenAM.
Default: OpenIG uses the default ClientHandler.
In production, use a ClientHandler that is capable of making an HTTPS connection to OpenAM.
See also Handlers.
"realm"
: string, optionalThe OpenAM realm to use when requesting policy decisions.
Default:
/
(Top Level Realm)"ssoTokenHeader"
: string, optionalThe name of the HTTP header to use when supplying the SSO token ID for the user making a policy decision request.
Default:
iPlanetDirectoryPro
"application"
: string, optionalThe OpenAM application to use when requesting policy decisions.
Default: OpenIG does not specify an application when making a policy decision request. As a result, the application is
iPlanetAMWebAgentService
, which is the default for OpenAM."cacheMaxExpiration"
: duration string, optionalMaximum duration for which to cache policy decision responses. If the time-to-live value in the policy decision response is shorter, then OpenIG expires the decision according to the shorter lifetime.
This setting prevents OpenIG from having to issue a new request for every policy decision, including even repeated requests by the same subject for the same resource.
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:

Example
The following example requests a policy decision from OpenAM
before allowing a request to continue.
The policyAdmin
user is an OpenAM subject
with access to request policy decisions.
The user making the request to the protected resource
is identified by an SSO token ID string.
The realm defaults to OpenAM's top-level realm:
{ "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "PolicyEnforcementFilter", "config": { "openamUrl": "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/", "pepUsername": "policyAdmin", "pepPassword": "${env['POLICY_ADMIN_PWD']}", "ssoTokenSubject": "${request.cookies['iPlanetDirectoryPro'][0].value}" } } ], "handler": "ClientHandler" } } }
Name
ScriptableFilter — process requests and responses by using a script
Description
Processes requests and responses by using a script.
The script must return either a Promise<Response, NeverThrowsException> or a Response.
The script has access to the following global objects:
- Any parameters passed as args
You can use the configuration to pass parameters to the script by specifying an args object.
Take care when naming keys in the args object. If you reuse the name of another global object, cause the script to fail and OpenIG to return a response with HTTP status code 500 Internal Server Error.
attributes
The attributes object provides access to a context map of arbitrary attributes, which is a mechanism for transferring transient state between components when processing a single request.
Use
session
for maintaining state between successive requests from the same logical client.context
The processing context.
This context is the leaf of a chain of Contexts. It provides access to other Context types, such as SessionContext, AttributesContext, and ClientContext, through the
context.asContext(ContextClass.class)
method.request
The HTTP request.
globals
This object is a Map that holds variables that persist across successive invocations.
http
An embedded client for making outbound HTTP requests, which is an org.forgerock.http.Client.
If a
"clientHandler"
is set in the configuration, then that Handler is used. Otherwise, the default ClientHandler configuration is used.For details, see Handlers.
ldap
The ldap object provides an embedded LDAP client.
Use this client to perform outbound LDAP requests, such as LDAP authentication.
logger
The logger object provides access to the server log sink.
next
The next object refers to the next handler in the filter chain.
session
The session object provides access to the session context, which is a mechanism for maintaining state when processing a successive requests from the same logical client or end-user.
Use
attributes
for transferring transient state between components when processing a single request.
When finished processing the request,
call the next.handle(context, request)
method
to call the next filter or handler in the current chain.
The script should return the value from this method call,
so this should be the last statement of the script.
Actions on the response must be performed in the Promise's callback methods.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ScriptableFilter", "config": { "type": string, "file": expression, // Use either "file" "source": string, // or "source", but not both. "args": object, "clientHandler": Handler reference } }
Properties
"type"
: string, requiredThe Internet media type (formerly MIME type) of the script,
"application/x-groovy"
for Groovy"file"
: expressionPath to the file containing the script; mutually exclusive with
"source"
Relative paths in the file field are relative to the base location for scripts. The base location depends on the configuration. For details, see Section 3.3, "Installing OpenIG" in the Gateway Guide.
The base location for Groovy scripts is on the classpath when the scripts are executed. If therefore some Groovy scripts are not in the default package, but instead have their own package names, they belong in the directory corresponding to their package name. For example, a script in package
com.example.groovy
belongs underopenig-base/scripts/groovy/com/example/groovy/
."source"
: stringThe script as a string; mutually exclusive with
"file"
"args"
: object, optionalParameters passed from the configuration to the script.
The configuration object is a map whose values can be scalars, arrays, objects and so forth, as in the following example:
{ "args": { "title": "Coffee time", "status": 418, "reason": [ "Not Acceptable", "I'm a teapot", "Acceptable" ], "names": { "1": "koffie", "2": "kafe", "3": "cafe", "4": "kafo" } } }
The script can then access the args parameters in the same way as other global objects. The following example sets the response status to
I'm a teapot
:response.status = Status.valueOf(418, reason[1])
For details regarding this status code see RFC 7168, Section 2.3.3 418 I'm a Teapot.
Args parameters can reference objects defined in the heap using expressions. For example, the following excerpt shows the heap that defines
SampleFilter
:{ "heap": [ { "name": "SampleFilter", "type": "SampleFilter", "config": { "name": "X-Greeting", "value": "Hello world" } } ] }
To pass
SampleFilter
to the script, the following example uses an expression in the args parameters:{ "args": { "filter": "${heap['SampleFilter']}" } }
The script can then reference
SampleFilter
asfilter
.For details about the heap, see Heap Objects(5).
"clientHandler"
, ClientHandler reference, optionalA Handler for making outbound HTTP requests.
Default: Use the default ClientHandler.
For details, see Handlers.
Name
SqlAttributesFilter — execute SQL query
Description
Executes a SQL query through a prepared statement and exposes its
first result. Parameters in the prepared statement are derived from
expressions. The query result is exposed in an object whose
location is specified by the target
expression. If the
query yields no result, then the resulting object is empty.
The execution of the query is performed lazily; it does not occur until the first attempt to access a value in the target. This defers the overhead of connection pool, network and database query processing until a value is first required. This also means that the parameters expressions is not evaluated until the object is first accessed.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "SqlAttributesFilter", "config": { "dataSource": string, "preparedStatement": string, "parameters": [ expression, ... ], "target": lvalue-expression } }
Properties
"dataSource"
: string, requiredThe JNDI name of the factory for connections to the physical data source.
"preparedStatement"
: string, requiredThe parameterized SQL query to execute, with
?
parameter placeholders."parameters"
: array of expressions, optionalThe parameters to evaluate and include in the execution of the prepared statement.
See also Expressions(5).
"target"
: lvalue-expression, requiredExpression that yields the target object that will contain the query results.
See also Expressions(5).
Example
Using the user's session ID from a cookie, query the database to find the user logged in and set the profile attributes in the attributes context:
{ "name": "SqlAttributesFilter", "type": "SqlAttributesFilter", "config": { "target": "${attributes.sql}", "dataSource": "java:comp/env/jdbc/mysql", "preparedStatement": "SELECT f.value AS 'first', l.value AS 'last', u.mail AS 'email', GROUP_CONCAT(CAST(r.rid AS CHAR)) AS 'roles' FROM sessions s INNER JOIN users u ON ( u.uid = s.uid AND u.status = 1 ) LEFT OUTER JOIN profile_values f ON ( f.uid = u.uid AND f.fid = 1 ) LEFT OUTER JOIN profile_values l ON ( l.uid = u.uid AND l.fid = 2 ) LEFT OUTER JOIN users_roles r ON ( r.uid = u.uid ) WHERE (s.sid = ? AND s.uid <> 0) GROUP BY s.sid;", "parameters": [ "${request.cookies [keyMatch(request.cookies,'JSESSION1234')] [0].value}" ] } }
Lines are folded for readability in this example. In your JSON, keep
the values for "preparedStatement"
and
"parameters"
on one line.
Name
StaticRequestFilter — create new request
Description
Creates a new request, replacing any existing request.
The request can include an entity
specified in the entity
parameter.
Alternatively, the request can include a form,
specified in the form
parameter,
which is included in an entity
encoded in application/x-www-form-urlencoded
format
if request method is POST
,
or otherwise as (additional) query parameters in the URI.
The form
and entity
parameters
cannot be used together when the method
is set to POST
.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "StaticRequestFilter", "config": { "method": string, "uri": string, "version": string, "headers": { name: [ expression, ... ], ... }, "form": { param: [ expression, ... ], ... }, "entity": expression } }
Properties
"method"
: string, requiredThe HTTP method to be performed on the resource (for example,
"GET"
)."uri"
: string, requiredThe fully-qualified URI of the resource to access (for example,
"http://www.example.com/resource.txt"
)."version"
: string, optionalProtocol version. Default:
"HTTP/1.1"
."headers"
: object, optionalHeader fields to set in the request.
The
name
specifies the header name. Its value is an array of expressions to evaluate as header values."form"
: object, optionalA form to include in the request.
The
param
specifies the form parameter name. Its value is an array of expressions to evaluate as form field values.This setting is mutually exclusive with the
entity
setting when themethod
is set toPOST
."entity"
: expression, optionalThe entity body to include in the request.
This setting is mutually exclusive with the
form
setting when themethod
is set toPOST
.See also Expressions(5).
Example
{ "name": "LoginRequestFilter", "type": "StaticRequestFilter", "config": { "method": "POST", "uri": "http://10.10.0.2:8080/wp-login.php", "form": { "log": [ "george" ], "pwd": [ "bosco" ], "rememberme": [ "forever" ], "redirect_to": [ "http://portal.example.com:8080/wp-admin/" ], "testcookie": [ "1" ] } } }
Name
SwitchFilter — divert requests to another handler
Description
Conditionally diverts requests to another handler.
If a condition
evaluates to true
,
then the request is dispatched to the associated handler
with no further processing by the switch filter.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "SwitchFilter", "config": { "onRequest": [ { "condition": expression, "handler": Handler reference, }, ... ], "onResponse": [ { "condition": expression, "handler": Handler reference, }, ... ] } }
Properties
"onRequest"
: array of objects, optionalConditions to test (and handler to dispatch to, if
true
) before the request is handled."onResponse"
: array of objects, optionalConditions to test (and handler to dispatch to, if
true
) after the response is handled."condition"
: expression, optionalCondition to evaluate to determine if the request or response should be dispatched to the handler.
Default: unconditional dispatch to the handler.
See also Expressions(5).
"handler"
: Handler reference, requiredDispatch to this handler if the condition yields
true
.Provide either the name of a Handler object defined in the heap, or an inline Handler configuration object.
See also Handlers.
Example
This example intercepts the response if it is equal to 200 and executes the LoginRequestHandler. This filter might be used in a login flow where the request for the login page must go through to the target, but the response should be intercepted in order to send the login form to the application. This is typical for scenarios where there is a hidden value or cookie returned in the login page, which must be sent in the login form:
{ "name": "SwitchFilter", "type": "SwitchFilter", "config": { "onResponse": [ { "condition": "${response.status.code == 200}", "handler": "LoginRequestHandler" } ] } }
Name
ThrottlingFilter — limit the rate of operations
Description
Limits the rate of operations. Operations can be requests passing through the filter en route to a handler that produces a response either by forwarding the filtered request to an external service, or by generating their own response. Operations can also be responses passing back through the filter en route to the client application.
When used to filter requests and the configured limit is reached,
this filter sends a response with HTTP status code 429 Too Many Requests,
including a Retry-After
whose value is the number of seconds to wait before trying the request again.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ThrottlingFilter", "config": { "rate": { "numberOfRequests": integer, "duration": duration string }, "partitionKey": expression } }
Properties
"rate"
: rate object, requiredDefines a threshold rate of operations. When the threshold rate per partition is reached, OpenIG limits requests to the handler or responses to the client.
Rate is calculated as the number of operations divided by the duration. Both the
"numberOfRequests"
and the"duration"
fields are required.The number of requests is expressed as an integer.
The duration is expressed using duration syntax.
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:
indefinite
,infinity

"partitionKey"
: expression, optionalExpression to evaluate whether a request matches when calculating a rate for a group of requests.
The partition key is a mechanism for grouping operations by their properties, effectively giving a name to the group. For example, the key
${contexts.client.remoteAddress}
could resolve to the address ofinternal-client.example.com
for operations where the request came from the host namedinternal-client.example.com
, and the address ofproxy.example.com
for requests coming through the host namedproxy.example.com
, effectively splitting the requests into two groups for throttling purposes.Default: all operations belong to the same group, and so all operations on the current route are limited by the specified rate.
See also Expressions(5).
Example
The following example route limits the number of requests
to /limited
to 60 requests per minute
based on the client address that sent the request to ${productName}:
{ "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "ThrottlingFilter", "config": { "rate": { "numberOfRequests": 60, "duration": "1 minute" }, "partitionKey": "${contexts.client.remoteAddress}" } } ], "handler": { "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 200, "reason": "OK", "entity": "Success!" } } } }, "condition": "${matches(request.uri.path, '^/limited')}" }
Replace the handler in the chain with a client handler to limit requests through OpenIG to the protected application.
Name
TokenTransformationFilter — transform a token issued by OpenAM to another type
Description
This filter transforms a token issued by OpenAM to another token type.
The current implementation uses the REST Security Token Service (STS) APIs.
It supports transforming an OpenID Connect ID Token (id_token
)
into a SAML 2.0 assertion where the subject confirmation method is Bearer,
as described in
Profiles for the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) V2.0.
The configuration for this filter references a REST STS instance that must be set up in OpenAM before this filter can be used. The REST STS instance exposes a pre-configured transformation under a specific REST endpoint. See the OpenAM documentation for details about setting up a REST STS instance.
Any errors that occur during the token transformation cause a error response to be returned to the client and an error message to be logged for the OpenIG administrator.
Usage
{ "name": "string", "type": "TokenTransformationFilter", "config": { "openamUri": URL string, "realm": OpenAM realm name string, "username": "${attributes.username}", "password": "${attributes.password}", "idToken": "${attributes.id_token}", "target": "${attributes.saml_assertions}", "instance": "oidc-to-saml", "amHandler": Handler reference, "ssoTokenHeader": string } }
Properties
"openamUri"
: URL string, requiredThe base URL to an OpenAM service, such as
https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/
.Authentication and REST STS requests are made to this service.
"realm"
: string, optionalThe OpenAM realm containing both the OpenAM user who can make the REST STS request and whose credentials are the username and password, and the STS instance described by the instance field.
Default:
/
(Top Level Realm)"username"
: expression, requiredThe username for authenticating OpenIG as an OpenAM REST STS client.
See also Expressions(5).
"password"
: expression, requiredThe password for authenticating OpenIG as an OpenAM REST STS client.
See also Expressions(5).
"idToken"
: expression, requiredAn expression evaluating to OpenID Connect ID token.
The expected value is a string that is the JWT encoded
id_token
.See also Expressions(5).
"target"
: expression, requiredAn expression evaluating to the location where the SAML 2.0 assertion is injected following successful transformation.
The value of the SAML 2.0 assertion is a string.
See also Expressions(5).
"instance"
: expression, requiredAn expression evaluating to name of the REST STS instance.
This expression is evaluated when the route is initialized, so the expression cannot refer to
request
orcontexts
.See also Expressions(5).
"amHandler"
: Handler reference, requiredThe handler to use for authentication and STS requests to OpenAM.
In production, use a ClientHandler that is capable of making an HTTPS connection to OpenAM.
See also Handlers.
"ssoTokenHeader"
: string, optionalThe name of the HTTP header to use when supplying the SSO token ID for the REST STS client subject.
Default:
iPlanetDirectoryPro
Example
The following example uses the REST STS instance oidc-to-saml
to request transformation of an OpenID Connect ID token
into a SAML 2.0 assertion.
Both the subject authenticating to access the REST endpoint,
and the REST STS instance are in the realm /sts
.
The subject credentials for authentication to OpenAM
are provided in the attributes context
at sts.username
and sts.password
.
The ID token to transform is provided in the attributes context
at sts.id_token
.
The resulting SAML 2.0 assertion is injected as a string
in the attribute context at sts.saml_assertions
:
{ "type": "TokenTransformationFilter", "config": { "openamUri": "https://openam.example.com/openam/", "realm": "/sts", "username": "${attributes.sts.username}", "password": "${attributes.sts.password}", "idToken": "${attributes.sts.id_token}", "target": "${attributes.sts.saml_assertions}", "instance": "oidc-to-saml", "amHandler": "ClientHandler" } }
Name
UmaFilter — protect access as an UMA resource server
Description
This filter acts as a policy enforcement point, protecting access as a User-Managed Access (UMA) resource server. Specifically, this filter ensures that a request for protected resources includes a valid requesting party token with appropriate scopes before allowing the response to flow back to the requesting party.
Usage
{ "type": "UmaFilter", "config": { "protectionApiHandler": Handler reference, "umaService": UmaService reference, "realm": string } }
Properties
"protectionApiHandler"
: Handler reference, requiredThe handler to use when interacting with the UMA authorization server for token introspection and permission requests, such as a ClientHandler capable of making an HTTPS connection to the server.
For details, see Handlers.
"umaService"
: UmaService reference, requiredThe UmaService to use when protecting resources.
For details, see UmaService(5).
"realm"
: string, optionalThe UMA realm set in the response to a request for a protected resource that does not include a requesting party token enabling access to the resource.
Default:
uma
Decorators
Decorators are objects that decorate other heap objects, adding the new behavior that the decorator provides. For example, you can configure a decorator object for capturing requests and responses to a file and then decorate other objects in the heap to trigger the capture.
To decorate other objects individually, use a local decoration
by adding the decorator's name value as a top-level field of the object.
For example, suppose a capture decorator named capture is defined
in the global configuration, config.json
.
The decorator is configured to capture the entity but not the context:
{ "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "captureEntity": true, "_captureContext": true } }
The following ClientHandler configuration would then capture requests including the entity before they are forwarded to the server:
{ "name": "ClientHandler", "type": "ClientHandler", "capture": "request" }
To decorate the handler for a route, add the decorator as a top-level field of the route. The following route includes an audit decoration on the handler. This configuration decorates the ClientHandler only for the current route. It does not decorate other uses of ClientHandler in other routes:
{ "handler": "ClientHandler", "audit": "Default route" }
The decoration as a top-level field also does not decorate heap objects. To decorate all applicable objects defined within a Route's heap, configure globalDecorators as a top-level field of the Route. The globalDecorators field takes a map of the decorations to apply. For example, the following route has audit and capture decorations that apply to the Chain, HeaderFilter, and StaticResponseHandler. In other words, the decorations apply to all objects in this route's heap:
{ "globalDecorators": { "audit": "My static route", "capture": "all" }, "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "RESPONSE", "add": [ { "X-Powered-By": [ "OpenIG" ] } ] } } ], "handler": { "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 200, "entity": "Hello World" } } } }, "condition": "${matches(request.uri.path, '^/static')}" }
Decorations are inherited as follows:
Local decorations that are part of an object's declaration are inherited wherever the object is used.
The globalDecorations on a route are inherited on child routes.
To prevent loops, decorators themselves cannot be decorated. Instead, decorators apply only to specific types of objects such as Filters and Handlers.
OpenIG defines some decorators, such as audit, baseURI, capture, and timer. You can use these without configuring them explicitly. For details, see GatewayHttpApplication(5).
Take care when defining decorator names not to use names
that unintentionally clash with field names for the decorated objects.
For all heap objects, avoid decorators named
config
, name
, and type
.
For Routes, avoid decorators named
auditService
, baseURI
,
condition
, globalDecorators
,
heap
, handler
,
name
, and session
.
In config.json
,
also avoid logSink
and temporaryStorage
.
In addition, avoid decorators named comment
or comments
.
The best way to avoid a clash with other field names
is to avoid OpenIG reserved field names,
which include all purely alphanumeric field names.
Instead use dots in your decorator names,
such as my.decorator
.
Decorations can apply more than once. For example, if you set a decoration both on a Route and also on an object defined within the route, then OpenIG can apply the decoration twice. The following Route results in the request being captured twice:
{ "handler": { "type": "ClientHandler", "capture": "request" }, "capture": "all" }
OpenIG applies decorations in this order.
Local decorations
globalDecorations (first those of the parent, then those declared in the current route)
Route decorations (those decorating a route's handler)
Interface Stability: Evolving (For details, see Section A.2, "ForgeRock Product Interface Stability".)
Name
AuditDecorator — trigger notification of audit events for Filters and Handlers
Description
Triggers notification of audit events for applicable Filters and Handlers.
Interface Stability: Deprecated (For details, see Section A.2, "ForgeRock Product Interface Stability".)
OpenIG first notifies an audit system sink. The audit system sink takes responsibility for forwarding notifications to registered audit event listeners. The listeners take responsibility for dealing with the audit events. What a listener does is implementation specific, but it could for example publish the event to an endpoint or to a central system, log the event in a file, or raise an alert.
To help listeners determine what to do with audit events, each audit event holds the following information about what it represents:
event.data
A reference to the data involved in the event, providing access to the
request
,response
, andcontexts
objects.event.source
The source of the audit event, meaning the name of the object under audit.
For details, see org.forgerock.openig.audit.AuditSource.
event.tags
Strings that qualify the event. Entities receiving notifications can use the tags to select audit events of interest.
Define your own audit tags in order to identify particular events or routes.
OpenIG provides the following built-in tags in org.forgerock.openig.audit.Tag:
request
: This event happens before OpenIG calls the decorated object.response
: This event happens after the call to the decorated object returns or throws an exception.When decorating a Filter, realize that the filter returns after handling the response, even if it only filters the request and so does nothing to the response but pass it along.
completed
: This event happens when the processing unit under audit has successfully handled the response. This tag always complements aresponse
tag.Note that
completed
says nothing about the client application's perception of whether the result of the response was successful. For example, a Handler could successfully pass back an HTTP 404 Not Found response.exception
: This event happens when the processing unit under audit handled the request and response processing with errors. This tag always complements aresponse
tag.Note that the source object might not have thrown an exception itself, so it is not necessarily the source of the error.
Also note that
exception
says nothing about the client application's perception of whether the result of the response was a failure. For example, another processing unit could still pass back a success response to the client application or proxy that engaged the request.
event.timestamp
Timestamp indicating when the event happened, with millisecond precision.
Decorated Object Usage
{ "name": string, "type": string, "config": object, "audit": string or array of strings }
"name"
: string, required except for inline objectsThe unique name of the object, just like an object that is not decorated.
"type"
: string, requiredThe class name of the decorated object, which must be either a Filter or a Handler.
"config"
: object, required unless emptyThe configuration of the object, just like an object that is not decorated.
"audit"
: string or array of strings, requiredSet the value to the tag(s) used to select audit events of interest.
To activate the audit decoration without setting any user-defined tags, set audit to any other value, such as
"audit": true
.
Examples
The following example triggers an audit event on a default route:
{ "handler": "ClientHandler", "audit": "Default route" }
The following example triggers an audit event only on a particular object:
{ "name": "My Serious Error Handler", "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 500, "reason": "Error", "entity": "<html><p>Epic #FAIL</h2></html>" }, "audit": "Epic failure" }
To observe audit events, use a registered audit agent such as a MonitorEndpointHandler, which is described in MonitorEndpointHandler(5).
Name
BaseUriDecorator — override scheme, host, and port of request URI
Description
Overrides the scheme, host, and port of the existing request URI, rebasing the URI and so making requests relative to a new base URI. Rebasing changes only the scheme, host, and port of the request URI. Rebasing does not affect the path, query string, or fragment.
Decorator Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "BaseUriDecorator" }
A BaseUriDecorator does not have configurable properties.
OpenIG creates a default BaseUriDecorator named baseURI at startup time in the top-level heap, so you can use baseURI as the decorator name without adding the decorator declaration explicitly.
Decorated Object Usage
{ "name": string, "type": string, "config": object, decorator name: string }
"name"
: string, required except for inline objectsThe unique name of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
"type"
: string, requiredThe class name of the decorated object, which must be either a Filter or a Handler.
"config"
: object, required unless emptyThe configuration of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
- decorator name: string, required
A string representing the scheme, host, and port of the new base URI. The port is optional when using the defaults (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS).
OpenIG ignores this setting if the value is not a string.
Examples
Add a custom decorator to the heap named myBaseUri:
{ "name": "myBaseUri", "type": "BaseUriDecorator" }
Set a Router's base URI to https://www.example.com:8443
:
{ "name": "Router", "type": "Router", "myBaseUri": "https://www.example.com:8443/" }
Name
CaptureDecorator — capture request and response messages
Decorator Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "logSink": LogSink reference, "captureEntity": boolean, "captureContext": boolean } }
The decorator configuration has these properties:
"logSink"
: LogSink reference, optionalCapture requests and responses to this LogSink.
Provide either the name of a LogSink object defined in the heap, or an inline LogSink configuration object.
Default: use the LogSink configured for the decorated object. This makes it possible to keep all logs in a central location.
"captureEntity"
: boolean, optionalWhether the message entity should be captured.
The filter omits binary entities, instead writing a
[binary entity]
marker to the file.Default: false
"captureContext"
: boolean, optionalWhether the context should be captured as JSON.
Default: false
Decorated Object Usage
{ "name": string, "type": string, "config": object, decorator name: capture point(s) }
"name"
: string, required except for inline objectsThe unique name of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
"type"
: string, requiredThe class name of the decorated object, which must be either a Filter or a Handler.
"config"
: object, required unless emptyThe configuration of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
- decorator name: capture point(s), optional
The decorator name must match the name of the CaptureDecorator. For example, if the CaptureDecorator has
"name": "capture"
, then decorator name is capture.The capture point(s) are either a single string, or an array of strings. The strings are documented here in lowercase, but are not case-sensitive:
"all"
Capture at all available capture points
"request"
Capture the request as it enters the Filter or Handler
"filtered_request"
Capture the request as it leaves the Filter
Only applies to Filters
"response"
Capture the response as it enters the Filter or leaves the Handler
"filtered_response"
Capture the response as it leaves the Filter
Only applies to Filters
Examples
Decorator configured to log the entity:
{ "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "captureEntity": true } }
Decorator configured not to log the entity:
{ "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator" }
Decorator configured to log the context in JSON format, excluding the request and the response:
{ "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "captureContext": true } }
To capture requests and responses with the entity before sending the request and before returning the response, do so as in the following example:
{ "heap": [ { "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "captureEntity": true } }, { "name": "ClientHandler", "type": "ClientHandler", "capture": [ "request", "response" ] } ], "handler": "ClientHandler" }
To capture all transformed requests and responses as they leave filters, decorate the Route as in the following example. This Route uses the default CaptureDecorator:
{ "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "REQUEST", "add": { "X-RequestHeader": [ "Capture at filtered_request point", "And at filtered_response point" ] } } }, { "type": "HeaderFilter", "config": { "messageType": "RESPONSE", "add": { "X-ResponseHeader": [ "Capture at filtered_response point" ] } } } ], "handler": { "type": "StaticResponseHandler", "config": { "status": 200, "reason": "OK", "entity": "<html><p>Hello, World!</p></html>" } } } }, "capture": [ "filtered_request", "filtered_response" ] }
To capture the context as JSON, excluding the request and response, before sending the request and before returning the response, do so as in the following example:
{ "heap": [ { "name": "capture", "type": "CaptureDecorator", "config": { "captureContext": true } }, { "name": "ClientHandler", "type": "ClientHandler", "capture": [ "request", "response" ] } ], "handler": "ClientHandler" }
Name
TimerDecorator — record times to process Filters and Handlers
Description
Records time in milliseconds to process applicable Filters and Handlers. OpenIG writes the records to the LogSink configured for the decorated heap object. If no LogSink is defined for the decorated heap object, then OpenIG writes to the LogSink configured for the heap. Records include the time elapsed while processing the request and response, and for Filters the elapsed time spent processing the request and response within the Filter itself.
OpenIG records times at log level STAT
.
The TimerDecorator is not applicable to the GatewayHttpApplication, as the GatewayHttpApplication is not declared in the heap. For details, see GatewayHttpApplication(5).
Decorator Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "TimerDecorator" }
A TimerDecorator does not have configurable properties.
OpenIG configures a default TimerDecorator named timer. You can use timer as the decorator name without explicitly declaring a decorator named timer.
Decorated Object Usage
{ "name": string, "type": string, "config": object, decorator name: boolean }
"name"
: string, required except for inline objectsThe unique name of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
"type"
: string, requiredThe class name of the decorated object, which must be either a Filter or a Handler.
"config"
: object, required unless emptyThe configuration of the object, just like an object that is not decorated
decorator name
: boolean, requiredOpenIG looks for the presence of the decorator name field for the TimerDecorator.
To activate the timer, set the value of the decorator name field to
true
.To deactivate the TimerDecorator temporarily, set the value to
false
.
Examples
To record times spent within the client handler, and elapsed time for operations traversing the client handler, use a configuration such as the following:
{ "handler": { "type": "ClientHandler" }, "timer": true }
This configuration could result in the following log messages:
TUE DEC 02 17:20:08 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[top-level-handler] Started ------------------------------ TUE DEC 02 17:20:08 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[top-level-handler] Elapsed time: 40 ms
When you decorate a Filter with a TimerDecorator, OpenIG can record two timer messages in the LogSink: the elapsed time for operations traversing the Filter, and the elapsed time spent within the Filter.
To record times spent within all Filters and the handler, decorate the Route as in the following example:
{ "handler": { "type": "Chain", "config": { "filters": [ { "type": "OAuth2ResourceServerFilter", "config": { "providerHandler": "ClientHandler", "scopes": [ "mail", "employeenumber" ], "tokenInfoEndpoint": "http://openam.example.com:8088/openam/oauth2/tokeninfo", "requireHttps": false, "target": "${attributes.token}" }, "capture": "filtered_request", "timer": true }, { "type": "AssignmentFilter", "config": { "onRequest": [ { "target": "${session.username}", "value": "${attributes.token.info.mail}" }, { "target": "${session.password}", "value": "${attributes.token.info.employeenumber}" } ] }, "timer": true }, { "type": "StaticRequestFilter", "config": { "method": "POST", "uri": "http://www.example.com:8081", "form": { "username": [ "${session.username}" ], "password": [ "${session.password}" ] } }, "timer": true } ], "handler": "ClientHandler" } }, "condition": "${matches(request.uri.path, '^/rs')}", "timer": true }
This configuration could result in the following log messages:
THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{OAuth2ResourceServerFilter}/handler/config/filters/0] Started ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{AssignmentFilter}/handler/config/filters/1] Started ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{StaticRequestFilter}/handler/config/filters/2] Started ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{StaticRequestFilter}/handler/config/filters/2] Elapsed time: 119 ms ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{StaticRequestFilter}/handler/config/filters/2] Elapsed time (within the object): 1 ms ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{AssignmentFilter}/handler/config/filters/1] Elapsed time: 128 ms ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{AssignmentFilter}/handler/config/filters/1] Elapsed time (within the object): 7 ms ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{OAuth2ResourceServerFilter}/handler/config/filters/0] Elapsed time: 211 ms ------------------------------ THU DEC 11 16:06:23 CET 2014 (STAT) @Timer[{OAuth2ResourceServerFilter}/handler/config/filters/0] Elapsed time (within the object): 81 ms
You can then deactivate the timer
by setting the values to false
:
{ "timer": false }
Audit Logging Framework
OpenIG uses the ForgeRock common audit framework to log system boundary events using an implementation that is common across the ForgeRock platform.
Name
AuditService — enable common audit service for a route
Description
This object serves to configure the audit service for a route. The audit service uses the ForgeRock common audit event framework.
The route is decorated with an auditService
field

When a value matches, the message is excluded.
"includeIf"
: array of strings, optionalThis holds a list of audit event field values.
When a value matches, the message is included.
"event-handlers"
: array of configuration objects, requiredThis array of audit event handler configuration objects defines the event handlers that deal with audit events.
Each event handler configuration depends on type of the event handler.
OpenIG supports the following audit event handlers:
Example
The following example configures an audit service
to log access event messages in a comma-separated variable file,
named /path/to/audit/logs/access.csv
:
{ "name": "AuditService", "type": "AuditService", "config": { "config": {}, "event-handlers": [ { "class": "org.forgerock.audit.handlers.csv.CsvAuditEventHandler", "config": { "name": "csv", "logDirectory": "/path/to/audit/logs", "topics": [ "access" ] } } ] } }

Preparing a Keystore for Tamper-Evident Logs
Tamper-evident logging depends on a public key/private key pair and on a secret key that are stored together in a JCEKS keystore. Follow these steps to prepare the keystore:
Generate a key pair in the keystore.
The CSV event handler expects a JCEKS-type keystore with a key alias of
Signature
for the signing key, where the key is generated with theRSA
key algorithm and theSHA256withRSA
signature algorithm:$ keytool \ -genkeypair \ -keyalg RSA \ -sigalg SHA256withRSA \ -alias "Signature" \ -dname "CN=openig.example.com,O=Example Corp,C=FR" \ -keystore /path/to/audit-keystore \ -storetype JCEKS \ -storepass password \ -keypass password
Generate a secret key in the keystore.
The CSV event handler expects a JCEKS-type keystore with a key alias of
Password
for the symmetric key, where the key is generated with theHmacSHA256
key algorithm and 256-bit key size:$ keytool \ -genseckey \ -keyalg HmacSHA256 \ -keysize 256 \ -alias "Password" \ -keystore /path/to/audit-keystore \ -storetype JCEKS \ -storepass password \ -keypass password
Verify the content of the keystore:
$ keytool \ -list \ -keystore /path/to/audit-keystore \ -storetype JCEKS \ -storepass password Keystore type: JCEKS Keystore provider: SunJCE Your keystore contains 2 entries signature, Nov 27, 2015, PrivateKeyEntry, Certificate fingerprint (SHA1): 4D:CF:CC:29:...:8B:6E:68:D1 password, Nov 27, 2015, SecretKeyEntry,
Example
The following example configures a CSV audit event handler
to write a log file, /path/to/audit/logs/access.csv
,
that is signed every 10 seconds to make it tamper-evident:
{ "name": "csv", "topics": [ "access" ], "logDirectory": "/path/to/audit/logs/", "security": { "enabled": "true", "filename": "/path/to/audit-keystore", "password": "password", "signatureInterval": "10 seconds" } }

Miscellaneous Heap Objects
Name
ClientRegistration — Hold OAuth 2.0 client registration information
Description
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(5).
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "ClientRegistration", "config": { "clientId": expression, "clientSecret": expression, "issuer": Issuer reference, "redirect_uris": [ redirect URI string, ... ], "registrationHandler": Handler reference, "scopes": [ expression, ...], "tokenEndpointUseBasicAuth": boolean } }
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(5).
"clientSecret"
: expression, requiredThe
client_secret
obtained when registering with the authorization server.See also Expressions(5).
"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(5).
"redirect_uris"
: array of URI strings, requiredThe array of redirection URIs to use for this client registration.
At least one redirection URI must be specified.
"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: OpenIG uses the default ClientHandler.
See also Handlers, ClientHandler(5).
"scopes"
: array of expressions, optionalOAuth 2.0 scopes to use with this client registration.
See also Expressions(5).
"tokenEndpointUseBasicAuth"
: boolean, optionalWhether to perform client authentication to the provider using HTTP Basic authentication when sending a request to the provider's OAuth 2.0 token endpoint.
When set to
true
, the client credentials are sent using HTTP Basic authentication as in the following example request:POST /oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 Host: as.example.com Authorization: Basic .... Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=authorization_code&code=...
When set to
false
, the client credentials are sent in HTTP POST form data as in the following example request: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=...
Some providers accept both authentication methods. For providers that strictly enforce how the client must authenticate, such as recent versions of OpenAM, you must align the configuration with that of the provider.
If the provider does not support the configured authentication method, then according to RFC 6749 The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework, section 5.2 the provider sends an HTTP 400 Bad Request response with an
invalid_client
error message as in the following example response:HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Cache-Control: no-store Pragma: no-cache { "error":"invalid_client" }
Default:
true
Example
The following example shows a client registration for OpenAM.
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 manner:
{ "name": "OpenIDConnectRelyingParty", "type": "ClientRegistration", "config": { "clientId": "**********", "clientSecret": "**********", "issuer": "openam", "redirect_uris": [ "https://openig.example.com:8443/openid/callback" ], "scopes": [ "openid", "profile" ] } }

Name
JwtSession — store sessions in encrypted JWT cookies
Description
A JwtSession object holds settings for storing session information in encrypted JSON Web Token (JWT) cookies.
In this context, encrypted JWT cookie means an HTTP cookie whose value is an encrypted JWT. The payload of the encrypted JWT is a JSON representation of the session information.
The JWT cookie lifetime is Session (not persistent), meaning the user-agent deletes the JWT cookie when it shuts down.
When using this storage implementation,
you must use data types for session information that can be mapped to
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
JSON allows strings, numbers,
true
, false
, null
,
as well as arrays and JSON objects composed of the same primitives.
Java and Groovy types that can be mapped include
Java primitive types and null
,
String and CharSequence objects,
as well as List and Map objects.
As browser cookie storage capacity is limited to 4 KB, and encryption adds overhead, take care to limit the size of any JSON that you store. Rather than store larger data in the session information, consider storing a reference instead.
When a request enters a route that uses a new session type,
the scope of the session information becomes limited to the route.
OpenIG builds a new session object
and does not propagate any existing session information to the new object.
session
references the new session object.
When the response then exits the route,
the session object is closed, and serialized to a JWT cookie in this case,
and session
references the previous session object.
Session information set inside the route is no longer available.
An HTTP client that performs multiple requests in a session that modify the content of its session can encounter inconsistencies in the session information. This is because OpenIG does not share JwtSessions across threads. Instead, each thread has its own JwtSession objects that it modifies as necessary, writing its own session to the JWT cookie regardless of what other threads do.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "JwtSession", "config": { "keystore": KeyStore reference, "alias": string, "password": configuration expression, "cookieName": string, "sessionTimeout": duration } }
An alternative value for type is JwtSessionFactory.
Properties
"keystore"
: KeyStore reference, optionalThe keystore holding the key pair with the private key used to encrypt the JWT.
Provide either the name of the KeyStore object defined in the heap, or the inline KeyStore configuration object inline.
Default: When no keystore is specified, OpenIG generates a unique key pair, and stores the key pair in memory. With JWTs encrypted using a unique key pair generated at runtime, OpenIG cannot decrypt the JWTs after a restart, nor can it decrypt such JWTs encrypted by another OpenIG server.
See also KeyStore(5).
"alias"
: string, required when keystore is usedAlias for the private key.
"password"
: configuration expression, required when keystore is usedThe password to read the private key from the keystore.
A configuration expression, described in Expressions(5) is independent of the request, response, and contexts, so do not use expressions that reference their properties. You can, however, use
${env['variable']}
,${system['property']}
, and all the built-in functions listed in Functions(5)."cookieName"
string, optionalThe name of the JWT cookie stored on the user-agent.
Default:
openig-jwt-session
"sessionTimeout"
duration, optionalThe amount of time before the cookie session expires.
A duration is a lapse of time expressed in English, such as
23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds
.Durations are not case sensitive.
Negative durations are not supported.
The following units can be used in durations:
indefinite
,infinity
,undefined
,unlimited
: unlimited durationzero

Default: 30 minutes
A zero duration for session timeout is not a valid setting. The maximum session timeout duration is 3650 days (approximately 10 years). If you set a longer duration, OpenIG truncates the duration to the maximum value.
Example
The following example defines a JwtSession
for storing session information
in a JWT token cookie named OpenIG
.
The JWT is encrypted with a private key
that is recovered using the alias private-key
,
and stored in the keystore.
The password is both the password for the keystore and also the private key:
{ "name": "JwtSession", "type": "JwtSession", "config": { "keystore": { "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks", "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }, "alias": "private-key", "password": "${system['keypass']}", "cookieName": "OpenIG" } }

KeyManager — configure a Java Secure Socket Extension KeyManager
Description
This represents the configuration for a Java Secure Socket Extension KeyManager, which manages the keys used to authenticate an SSLSocket to a peer. The configuration references the keystore that actually holds the keys.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "KeyManager", "config": { "keystore": KeyStore reference, "password": expression, "alg": string } }
Properties
"keystore"
: KeyStore reference, optionalThe keystore that references the store for the actual keys.
Provide either the name of the KeyStore object defined in the heap, or the inline KeyStore configuration object inline.
See also KeyStore(5).
"password"
: expression, requiredThe password to read private keys from the keystore.
"alg"
string, optionalThe certificate algorithm to use.
Default: the default for the platform, such as
SunX509
.See also Expressions(5).
Example
The following example configures a key manager
that depends on a KeyStore configuration.
The keystore takes a password supplied as a Java system property
when starting the container where OpenIG runs,
as in -Dkeypass=password
.
This configuration uses the default certificate algorithm:
{ "name": "MyKeyManager", "type": "KeyManager", "config": { "keystore": { "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks", "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }, "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }

Name
KeyStore — configure a Java KeyStore
Description
This represents the configuration for a Java KeyStore, which stores cryptographic private keys and public key certificates.
Usage
{ "name": name, "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": expression, "password": expression, "type": string } }
Properties
"url"
: expression, requiredURL to the keystore file.
See also Expressions(5).
"password"
: expression, optionalThe password to read private keys from the keystore.
If the keystore is used as a truststore to store only public key certificates of peers and no password is required to do so, then you do not have to specify this field.
Default: No password is set.
See also Expressions(5).
"type"
: string, optionalThe keystore format.
Default: the default for the platform, such as
JKS
.
Example
The following example configures a keystore
that references a Java Keystore file,
$HOME/keystore.jks
.
The keystore takes a password supplied as a Java system property
when starting the container where OpenIG runs,
as in -Dkeypass=password
.
As the keystore file uses the default format, no type is specified:
{ "name": "MyKeyStore", "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks", "password": "${system['keypass']}" } }

Name
Issuer — Describe an Authorization Server or OpenID Provider
Description
An Issuer describes an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server or an OpenID Provider that OpenIG can use as a OAuth 2.0 client or OpenID Connect relying party.
An Issuer is generally referenced from a ClientRegistration, described in ClientRegistration(5).
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "Issuer", "config": { "wellKnownEndpoint": URL string, "authorizeEndpoint": URI expression, "registrationEndpoint": URI expression, "tokenEndpoint": URI expression, "userInfoEndpoint": URI expression, "issuerHandler": Handler reference, "supportedDomains": [ domain pattern, ... ] } }
Properties
If the provider has a well-known configuration URL as defined for OpenID Connect 1.0 Discovery that returns JSON with at least authorization and token endpoint URLs, then you can specify that URL in the provider configuration. Otherwise, you must specify at least the provider authorization and token endpoint URLs, and optionally the registration endpoint and user info endpoint URLs.
The provider configuration object properties are as follows:
"name"
: string, requiredA name for the provider configuration.
"wellKnownEndpoint"
: URL string, required unless authorizeEndpoint and tokenEndpoint are specifiedThe URL to the well-known configuration resource as described in OpenID Connect 1.0 Discovery.
"authorizeEndpoint"
: expression, required unless obtained through wellKnownEndpointThe URL to the provider's OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint.
See also Expressions(5).
"registrationEndpoint"
: expression, optionalThe URL to the provider's OpenID Connect dynamic registration endpoint.
See also Expressions(5).
"tokenEndpoint"
: expression, required unless obtained through wellKnownEndpointThe URL to the provider's OAuth 2.0 token endpoint.
See also Expressions(5).
"userInfoEndpoint"
: expression, optionalThe URL to the provider's OpenID Connect UserInfo endpoint.
Default: no UserInfo is obtained from the provider.
See also Expressions(5).
"issuerHandler"
: 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: OpenIG uses the default ClientHandler.
See also Handlers, ClientHandler(5).
"supportedDomains"
: array of patterns, optionalList of patterns matching domain names handled by this issuer, used as a shortcut for OpenID Connect discovery before performing OpenID Connect dynamic registration.
In summary when the OpenID Provider is not known in advance, it might be possible to discover the OpenID Provider Issuer based on information provided by the user, such as an email address. The OpenID Connect discovery specification explains how to use WebFinger to discover the issuer. OpenIG can discover the issuer in this way. As a shortcut OpenIG can also use supported domains lists to find issuers already described in the OpenIG configuration.
To use this shortcut, OpenIG extracts the domain from the user input, and looks for an issuer whose supported domains list contains a match.
Supported domains patterns match host names with optional port numbers. Do not specify a URI scheme such as HTTP. OpenIG adds the scheme. For instance,
*.example.com
matches any host in theexample.com
domain. You can specify the port number as well as inhost.example.com:8443
. Patterns must be valid regular expression patterns according to the rules for the Java Pattern class.
Examples
The following example shows an OpenAM issuer configuration for OpenAM. OpenAM exposes a well-known endpoint for the provider configuration, but this example demonstrates use of the other fields:
{ "name": "openam", "type": "Issuer", "config": { "authorizeEndpoint": "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/authorize", "registration_endpoint": "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/connect/register", "tokenEndpoint": "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/access_token", "userInfoEndpoint": "https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/userinfo", "supportedDomains": [ "mail.example.*", "docs.example.com:8443" ] } }
The following example shows an issuer configuration for Google:
{ "name": "google", "type": "Issuer", "config": { "wellKnownEndpoint": "https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration", "supportedDomains": [ "gmail.*", "googlemail.com:8052" ] } }

"/tmp"
on Unix systems). Default: use system-dependent default.
Name
TrustManager — configure a Java Secure Socket Extension TrustManager
Description
This represents the configuration for a Java Secure Socket Extension TrustManager, which manages the trust material (typically X.509 public key certificates) used to decide whether to accept the credentials presented by a peer. The configuration references the keystore that actually holds the trust material.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "TrustManager", "config": { "keystore": KeyStore reference, "alg": string } }
Properties
"keystore"
: KeyStore reference, optionalThe KeyStore that references the store for public key certificates.
Provide either the name of the KeyStore object defined in the heap, or the inline KeyStore configuration object inline.
See also KeyStore(5).
"alg"
string, optionalThe certificate algorithm to use.
Default: the default for the platform, such as
SunX509
.
Example
The following example configures a trust manager that depends on a KeyStore configuration. This configuration uses the default certificate algorithm:
{ "name": "MyTrustManager", "type": "TrustManager", "config": { "keystore": { "type": "KeyStore", "config": { "url": "file://${env['HOME']}/keystore.jks", "password": "${system['keypass']}" } } } }

Name
TrustAllManager — a TrustManager that blindly trusts all servers
Description
The TrustAllManager blindly trusts all server certificates presented the servers for protected applications. It can be used instead of a TrustManager(5) in test environments to trust server certificates that were not signed by a well-known CA, such as self-signed certificates.
The TrustAllManager is not safe for production use. Use a properly configured TrustManager(5) instead.
Usage
{ "name": string, "type": "TrustAllManager" }
Example
The following example configures a client handler that blindly trusts server certificates when OpenIG connects to servers over HTTPS:
{ "name": "BlindTrustClientHandler", "type": "ClientHandler", "config": { "trustManager": { "type": "TrustAllManager" } } }
Name
UmaService — represent an UMA resource server configuration
Description
An UmaService represents a User-Managed Access (UMA) resource server. Each service is statically registered as an OAuth 2.0 client of a single UMA authorization server.
The UmaService includes a list of resource patterns and associated actions that define the scopes for permissions to matching resources. When creating a share using the REST API described below, you specify a path matching a pattern in a resource of the UmaService.
Usage
{ "type": "UmaService", "config": { "protectionApiHandler": Handler reference, "authorizationServerUri": URI string, "clientId": expression, "clientSecret": expression, "resources": [ resource, ... ] } }
Properties
"protectionApiHandler"
: Handler reference, requiredThe handler to use when interacting with the UMA authorization server to manage resource sets, such as a ClientHandler capable of making an HTTPS connection to the server.
For details, see Handlers.
"authorizationServerUri"
: URI string, requiredThe URI to the UMA authorization server.
"clientId"
: expression, requiredAn expression that evaluates to the OAuth 2.0
client_id
registered with the UMA authorization server."clientSecret"
: expression, requiredAn expression that evaluates to the OAuth 2.0
client_secret
registered with the UMA authorization server."resources"
: array of resources, requiredResource objects matching the resources the resource owner wants to share.
Each resource object has the following form:
{ "pattern": resource pattern, "actions": [ { "scopes": [ scope string, ... ], "condition": boolean expression }, { ... } ] }
Each resource pattern can be seen to represent an application, or a consistent set of endpoints that share scope definitions. The actions map each request to the associated scopes. This configuration serves to set the list of scopes in the following ways:
When registering a resource set, OpenIG uses the list of actions to provide the aggregated, exhaustive list of all scopes that can be used.
When responding to an initial request for a resource, OpenIG derives the scopes for the ticket based on the scopes that apply according to the request.
When verifying the RPT, OpenIG checks that all required scopes are encoded in the RPT.
A description of each field follows:
"pattern"
: resource pattern, requiredA pattern matching resources to be shared by the resource owner, such as
.*
to match any resource path, and/photos/.*
to match paths starting with/photos/
.See also Patterns(5).
"actions"
: array of action objects, optionalA set of actions on matching resources that the resource owner can authorize.
When granting permission, the resource owner specifies the action scope. Conditions specify what the scopes mean in concrete terms. A given scope matches a requesting party operation when the corresponding condition evaluates to
true
."scopes"
: array of scope strings, optionalScope strings to identify permissions.
For example,
#read
(read access on a resource)."condition"
: boolean expression, requiredA boolean expression representing the meaning of a scope.
For example,
${request.method == 'GET'}
(true when reading a resource).See also Expressions(5).
The REST API for Shares
The REST API for UMA shares is exposed at a registered endpoint.
OpenIG logs the paths to registered endpoints
when the log level is INFO
or finer.
Look for messages such as the following in the log:
UMA Share endpoint available at '/openig/api/system/objects/router-handler/routes/00-uma/objects/umaservice/share'
To access the endpoint over HTTP or HTTPS,
prefix the path with the OpenIG scheme, host, and port
to obtain a full URL, such as
http://localhost:8080/openig/api/system/objects/router-handler/routes/00-uma/objects/umaservice/share
.
The UMA REST API supports create (POST only), read, delete,
and query (_queryFilter=true
only).
For an introduction to common REST APIs,
see Section 5, "About ForgeRock Common REST".
In the present implementation, OpenIG does not have a mechanism for persisting shares. When the OpenIG container stops, the shares are discarded.
A share object has the following form:
{ "path": pattern, "pat": UMA protection API token (PAT) string, "id": unique identifier string, "resource_set_id": unique identifier string, "user_access_policy_uri": URI string }
The fields are as follows:
"path"
: pattern, requiredA pattern matching the path to protected resources, such as
/photos/.*
.This pattern must match a pattern defined in the UmaService for this API.
See also Patterns(5).
"pat"
: PAT string, requiredA PAT granted by the UMA authorization server given consent by the resource owner.
In the present implementation, OpenIG has access only to the PAT, not to any refresh tokens.
"id"
: unique identifier string, read-onlyThis uniquely identifies the share. This value is set by the service when the share is created, and can be used when reading or deleting a share.
"resource_set_id"
: unique identifier string, read-onlyThis uniquely identifies the UMA resource set registered with the authorization server. This value is obtained by the service when the resource set is registered, and can be used when setting access policy permissions.
"user_access_policy_uri"
: URI string, read-onlyThis URI indicates the location on the UMA authorization server where the resource owner can set or modify access policies. This value is obtained by the service when the resource set is registered.
Expressions
Many configuration parameters support dynamic expressions.
Name
Expressions — expression configuration parameter values
Description
Expressions are specified as configuration parameter values for a number of built-in objects. Such expressions conform to the Universal Expression Language as specified in JSR-245.
General Syntax
All expressions follow standard Universal Expression Language syntax:
${expression}
.
The expression can be a simple reference to a value, a function call,
or arbitrarily complex arithmetic, logical, relational and conditional operations.
When supplied within a configuration parameter,
an expression is always a string enclosed in quotation marks,
for example: "${request.method}"
.
Value Expressions
A value expression references a value relative to the scope
supplied to the expression.
For example, "${request.method}"
references the method of an incoming HTTP request.
An lvalue-expression
is a specific type of value expression that references a value to be written.
For example, "${session.gotoURL}"
specifies a session attribute named gotoURL
to write a value to.
Attempts to write values to read-only values are ignored.
Indexed Properties
Properties of values are accessed
using the .
and []
operators,
and can be nested arbitrarily.
The value expressions "${request.method}"
and "${request['method']}"
are equivalent.
In the case of arrays, the index of an element in the array
is expressed as a number in brackets.
For example,
"${request.headers['Content-Type'][0]}"
references the first Content-Type
header value in a request.
If a property does not exist, then the index reference
yields a null
(empty) value.
Operations
Universal Expression Language supports arbitrarily complex arithmetic, logical, relational and conditional operations. They are, in order of precedence:
Index property value:
[]
,.
Change precedence of operation:
()
Unary negative:
-
Logical operations:
not
,!
,empty
Arithmetic operations:
*
,/
,div
,%
,mod
Binary arithmetic operations:
+
,-
Relational operations:
<
,>
,<=
,>=
,lt
,gt
,le
,ge
,==
,!=
,eq
,ne
Logical operations:
&&
,and
,||
,or
Conditional operations:
?
,:
System Properties and Environment Variables
You can use expressions to retrieve Java system properties, and to retrieve environment variables.
For system properties,
${system['property']}
yields the value of property,
or null
if there is no value for property.
For example, ${system['user.home']}
yields the home directory of the user
running the application server for OpenIG.
For environment variables,
${env['variable']}
yields the value of variable,
or null
if there is no value for variable.
For example, ${env['HOME']}
yields the home directory of the user
running the application server for OpenIG.
Functions
A number of built-in functions described in Functions(5) can be called within an expression.
Syntax is ${function(parameter, ...)}
,
where zero or more parameters are supplied to the function.
For example, "${toLowerCase(request.method)}"
yields the method of the request, converted to lower case.
Functions can be operands for operations,
and can yield parameters for other function calls.
Escaping Literal Expressions
Use the backslash \
character as the escape character.
For example, ${true}
as an expression
normally evaluates to true
.
To include the string ${true}
in an expression,
write ${true}
.
You can also escape literal expressions by single-quoting the initial characters.
For example, ${'${'}true}
evaluates to ${true}
.
To include a single backslash \
character,
write ${'\\'}
.
To include a double backslash, write ${'\\\\'}
.
Embedding Expressions
Although an expression cannot be embedded
as ${expression}
inside another expression,
embedding system property, environment variable, and function expressions
within each other is fine.
Do not enclose the embedded elements in ${}
.
The following single line example embeds
an env
environment variable expression
and the Java String.concat()
method
in the argument to a read()
function:
"entity" : "${read(env['OPENIG_BASE'].concat('/html/defaultResponse.html'))}"
In the example the entity property value is set to the contents of the file
$OPENIG_BASE/html/defaultResponse.html
.
Extensions
OpenIG offers a plugin interface for extending expressions. See Section 13.7, "Key Extension Points" in the Gateway Guide.
If your deployment uses expression plugins, read the plugin documentation about the additional expressions you can use.
Examples
"${request.uri.path == '/wordpress/wp-login.php' and request.form['action'][0] != 'logout'}" "${request.uri.host == 'wiki.example.com'}" "${request.cookies[keyMatch(request.cookies,'^SESS.*')][0].value}" "${toString(request.uri)}" "${request.method == 'POST' and request.uri.path == '/wordpress/wp-login.php'}" "${request.method != 'GET'}" "${request.headers['cookie'][0]}" "${request.uri.scheme == 'http'}" "${not (response.status.code == 302 and not empty session.gotoURL)}" "${response.headers['Set-Cookie'][0]}" "${request.headers['host'][0]}" "${not empty system['OPENIG_BASE'] ? system['OPENIG_BASE'] : '/path/to'}/logs/gateway.log"

Name
Patterns — regular expression patterns
Description
Patterns in configuration parameters and expressions use the standard Java regular expression Pattern class. For more information on regular expressions, see Oracle's tutorial on Regular Expressions.
Pattern Templates
A regular expression pattern template expresses a transformation to be
applied for a matching regular expression pattern. It may contain references
to capturing groups within the match result. Each occurrence of
$g
(where g is an integer value)
is substituted by the indexed capturing group in a match result. Capturing
group zero "$0"
denotes the entire pattern match. A dollar
sign or numeral literal immediately following a capture group reference can
be included as a literal in the template by preceding it with a backslash (
\
). Backslash itself must be also escaped in this
manner.

Appendix A. Release Levels and Interface Stability
This appendix includes ForgeRock definitions for product release levels and interface stability.
A.1. ForgeRock Product Release Levels
ForgeRock defines Major, Minor, and Maintenance product release levels. The release level is reflected in the version number. The release level tells you what sort of compatibility changes to expect.
Release Label | Version Numbers | Characteristics |
---|---|---|
Major |
Version: x[.0.0] (trailing 0s are optional) |
|
Minor |
Version: x.y[.0] (trailing 0s are optional) |
|
Maintenance |
Version: x.y.z |
|
A.2. ForgeRock Product Interface Stability
ForgeRock products support many protocols, APIs, GUIs, and command-line interfaces. Some of these interfaces are standard and very stable. Others offer new functionality that is continuing to evolve.
ForgeRock acknowledges that you invest in these interfaces, and therefore must know when and how ForgeRock expects them to change. For that reason, ForgeRock defines interface stability labels and uses these definitions in ForgeRock products.
Stability Label | Definition |
---|---|
Stable |
This documented interface is expected to undergo backwards-compatible changes only for major releases. Changes may be announced at least one minor release before they take effect. |
Evolving |
This documented interface is continuing to evolve and so is expected to change, potentially in backwards-incompatible ways even in a minor release. Changes are documented at the time of product release. While new protocols and APIs are still in the process of standardization, they are Evolving. This applies for example to recent Internet-Draft implementations, and also to newly developed functionality. |
Deprecated |
This interface is deprecated and likely to be removed in a future release. For previously stable interfaces, the change was likely announced in a previous release. Deprecated interfaces will be removed from ForgeRock products. |
Removed |
This interface was deprecated in a previous release and has now been removed from the product. |
Internal/Undocumented |
Internal and undocumented interfaces can change without notice. If you depend on one of these interfaces, contact ForgeRock support or email info@forgerock.com to discuss your needs. |
