| 1 | +# Usage stories |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This is a set of usage stories. |
| 4 | +Here to display what you can do with IdpyOIDC using OAuth2 or OIDC. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +Every story follows the same pattern it starts by initiating one client/RP and |
| 7 | +one AS/OP. |
| 8 | +After that a sequence of requests/responses are performed. Each one follows this |
| 9 | +pattern: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- The client/RP constructs the request and possible client authentication information |
| 12 | +- The request and client authentication information is printed |
| 13 | +- The AS/OP does client authentication based on the authentication information received |
| 14 | +- The AS/OP parses and verifies the client request |
| 15 | +- The AS/OP constructs the server response |
| 16 | +- The client/RP parses and verifies the server response |
| 17 | +- The parsed and verified response is printed |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This pattern is repeated for each request/response in the sequence. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +To understand the descriptions below you have to remember that an AS/OP provides |
| 22 | +**endpoints** while a client/RP accesses **services**. An endpoint can |
| 23 | +support more than one service. A service can only reside at one endpoint. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Basic OAuth2 Stories |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +These are based on the two basic OAuth2 RFCs; |
| 28 | +* [The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749) |
| 29 | +* [The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Bearer Token Usage](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6750) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Client Credentials Grant (oauth2_cc.py) |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Displays the usage of the |
| 34 | +[client credentials grant](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.4) . |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +The client can request an access token using only its client |
| 37 | +credentials (or other supported means of authentication). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The request/response sequence only contains the client credential exchange. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +The client is statically registered with the AS. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +#### configuration |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The server configuration expresses these points: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- The server needs only one endpoint, the token endpoint. |
| 48 | +- The token released form the token endpoint is a signed JSON Web token (JWT) |
| 49 | +- The server deals only with access tokens. The default lifetime of a token is 3600 |
| 50 | +seconds. |
| 51 | +- The server can deal with 2 client authentication methods at the token endpoint: |
| 52 | + client_secret_basic and client_secret_post |
| 53 | +- In this example the audience for the token (the resource server) is statically set. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + "endpoint": { |
| 57 | + "token": { |
| 58 | + "path": "token", |
| 59 | + "class": Token, |
| 60 | + "kwargs": { |
| 61 | + "client_authn_method": ["client_secret_basic", "client_secret_post"], |
| 62 | + }, |
| 63 | + }, |
| 64 | + }, |
| 65 | + "token_handler_args": { |
| 66 | + "jwks_defs": {"key_defs": KEYDEFS}, |
| 67 | + "token": { |
| 68 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.token.jwt_token.JWTToken", |
| 69 | + "kwargs": { |
| 70 | + "lifetime": 3600, |
| 71 | + "aud": ["https://example.org/appl"], |
| 72 | + } |
| 73 | + } |
| 74 | + } |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +The client configuration |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +- lists only one service - client credentials |
| 79 | +- specifies client ID and client secret since the client is statically |
| 80 | + registered with the server. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + "client_id": "client_1", |
| 84 | + "client_secret": "another password", |
| 85 | + "base_url": "https://example.com", |
| 86 | + "services": { |
| 87 | + "client_credentials": { |
| 88 | + "class": "idpyoidc.client.oauth2.client_credentials.CCAccessTokenRequest" |
| 89 | + } |
| 90 | + } |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +**services** is a dictionary. The keys in that dictionary is for your usage only. |
| 93 | +Internally the software uses identifiers that are statically assigned to every Service class. |
| 94 | +This means that you can not have two instances of the same class in a _services_ |
| 95 | +definition. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Resource Owners Password Credentials (oauth2_ropc.py) |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +**NOTE** Resource Owners Password Credentials is not part of OAuth2.1 |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Displays the usage of the |
| 102 | +[resource owners username and password](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.3) |
| 103 | +for doing authorization. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +The resource owner password credentials grant type is suitable in |
| 106 | +cases where the resource owner has a trust relationship with the |
| 107 | +client, such as the device operating system or a highly privileged application. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +#### Configuration |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +The big difference between Client Credentials and Resource Owners Passsword credentials |
| 112 | +is that the server also most support user authentication. Therefor this |
| 113 | +part is added to the server configuration: |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + "authentication": { |
| 116 | + "user": { |
| 117 | + "acr": "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:InternetProtocolPassword", |
| 118 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.user_authn.user.UserPass", |
| 119 | + "kwargs": { |
| 120 | + "db_conf": { |
| 121 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.util.JSONDictDB", |
| 122 | + "kwargs": {"filename": full_path("passwd.json")} |
| 123 | + } |
| 124 | + } |
| 125 | + } |
| 126 | + } |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +This allows for a very simple username/password check against a static file. |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +On the client side the change is that the service configuration now looks |
| 131 | +like this: |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | + services = { |
| 134 | + "ropc": { |
| 135 | + "class": "idpyoidc.client.oauth2.resource_owner_password_credentials.ROPCAccessTokenRequest" |
| 136 | + } |
| 137 | + } |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### Authorization Code Grant (oauth2_code.py) |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +The |
| 143 | +[authorization code grant](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.1) |
| 144 | +is used to obtain both access tokens and possibly refresh tokens and is optimized |
| 145 | +for confidential clients. |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Since this is a redirection-based flow, the client must be capable of |
| 148 | +interacting with the resource owner's user-agent (typically a web |
| 149 | +browser) and capable of receiving incoming requests (via redirection) |
| 150 | +from the authorization server. |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +In the demo implementation the response is transmitted directly from the server |
| 153 | +to the client no user agent is involved. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +In this story the flow contains three request/responses |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +- Fetching server metadata |
| 158 | +- Authorization |
| 159 | +- Access token |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +#### Configuration |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +Let's take it part by part. |
| 164 | +First the endpoints, straight forward support for the sequence of exchanges we |
| 165 | +want to exercise. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | + "endpoint": { |
| 168 | + "metadata": { |
| 169 | + "path": ".well-known/oauth-authorization-server", |
| 170 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.oauth2.server_metadata.ServerMetadata", |
| 171 | + "kwargs": {}, |
| 172 | + }, |
| 173 | + "authorization": { |
| 174 | + "path": "authorization", |
| 175 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.oauth2.authorization.Authorization", |
| 176 | + "kwargs": {}, |
| 177 | + }, |
| 178 | + "token": { |
| 179 | + "path": "token", |
| 180 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.oauth2.token.Token", |
| 181 | + "kwargs": {}, |
| 182 | + } |
| 183 | + }, |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +Next comes the type of tokens the grant manager can issue. |
| 186 | +In this case authorization codes and access tokens. |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | + "token_handler_args": { |
| 189 | + "key_conf": {"key_defs": KEYDEFS}, |
| 190 | + "code": { |
| 191 | + "lifetime": 600, |
| 192 | + "kwargs": { |
| 193 | + "crypt_conf": CRYPT_CONFIG |
| 194 | + } |
| 195 | + }, |
| 196 | + "token": { |
| 197 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.token.jwt_token.JWTToken", |
| 198 | + "kwargs": { |
| 199 | + "lifetime": 3600, |
| 200 | + "aud": ["https://example.org/appl"], |
| 201 | + }, |
| 202 | + } |
| 203 | + }, |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +The software can produce 3 types of tokens. |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +- An encrypted value, unreadable by anyone but the server |
| 208 | +- A signed JSON Web Token following the pattern described in |
| 209 | +[JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9068/) |
| 210 | +- An IDToken which only is used to represent ID Tokens. |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +In this example only the two first types are used since no ID Tokens are produced. |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +The next part is about the grant manager. |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | + "authz": { |
| 217 | + "class": AuthzHandling, |
| 218 | + "kwargs": { |
| 219 | + "grant_config": { |
| 220 | + "usage_rules": { |
| 221 | + "authorization_code": { |
| 222 | + "supports_minting": ["access_token"], |
| 223 | + "max_usage": 1, |
| 224 | + }, |
| 225 | + "access_token": { |
| 226 | + "expires_in": 600, |
| 227 | + } |
| 228 | + } |
| 229 | + } |
| 230 | + }, |
| 231 | + }, |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +What this says is that an authorization code can only be used once and |
| 234 | +only to mint an access token. The lifetime for an authorization code is |
| 235 | +the default which is 300 seconds (5 minutes). |
| 236 | +The access token can not be used to mint anything. Note that in the |
| 237 | +token handler arguments the lifetime is set to 3600 seconds for a token |
| 238 | +while in the authz part and access tokens lifetime is defined to be |
| 239 | +600 seconds. It's the later that is used since it is more specific. |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | + "authentication": { |
| 242 | + "anon": { |
| 243 | + "acr": INTERNETPROTOCOLPASSWORD, |
| 244 | + "class": "idpyoidc.server.user_authn.user.NoAuthn", |
| 245 | + "kwargs": {"user": "diana"}, |
| 246 | + } |
| 247 | + }, |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +It's convenient to use this no-authentication method in this context since we |
| 250 | +can't deal with user interaction. |
| 251 | +What happens is that authentication is assumed to have happened and that |
| 252 | +it resulted in that **diana** was authenticated. |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +## OAuth2 Extension Stories |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +The stories display support for a set of OAuth2 extension RFCs |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +### PKCE (oauth2_add_on_pkce.py) |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +[Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7636/). |
| 261 | +A technique to mitigate against the authorization code interception attack through |
| 262 | +the use of Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE). |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +#### Configuration |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +On the server side only one thing is added: |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | + "add_ons": { |
| 269 | + "pkce": { |
| 270 | + "function": "idpyoidc.server.oauth2.add_on.pkce.add_support", |
| 271 | + "kwargs": {}, |
| 272 | + }, |
| 273 | + } |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +Similar on the client side: |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | + "add_ons": { |
| 278 | + "pkce": { |
| 279 | + "function": "idpyoidc.client.oauth2.add_on.pkce.add_support", |
| 280 | + "kwargs": { |
| 281 | + "code_challenge_length": 64, |
| 282 | + "code_challenge_method": "S256" |
| 283 | + }, |
| 284 | + }, |
| 285 | + } |
| 286 | + |
| 287 | +### JAR (oauth2_add_on_jar.py) |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +[JWT-Secured Authorization Request (JAR)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9101/) |
| 290 | +This document introduces the ability to send request parameters in a |
| 291 | +JSON Web Token (JWT) instead, which allows the request to be signed |
| 292 | +with JSON Web Signature (JWS) and encrypted with JSON Web Encryption |
| 293 | +(JWE) so that the integrity, source authentication, and |
| 294 | +confidentiality properties of the authorization request are attained. |
| 295 | +The request can be sent by value or by reference. |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +#### Configuration |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +On the server side nothing has to be done. The support for the |
| 300 | +request and request_uri parameters are built in to begin with. |
| 301 | +The reason for this is that OIDC had this from the beginning. |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +On the client side this had to be added: |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | + "add_ons": { |
| 306 | + "jar": { |
| 307 | + "function": "idpyoidc.client.oauth2.add_on.jar.add_support", |
| 308 | + "kwargs": { |
| 309 | + 'request_type': 'request_parameter', |
| 310 | + 'request_object_signing_alg': "ES256", |
| 311 | + 'expires_in': 600 |
| 312 | + }, |
| 313 | + }, |
| 314 | + } |
| 315 | + |
