Access Management 7.3.2

Read-only callbacks

Nodes use these callbacks to return information to the client application or to display information to the user.

MetadataCallback

Injects key-value pairs into the authentication process.

Example
{
  "callbacks": [{
    "type": "MetadataCallback",
    "output": [{
      "name": "data",
      "value": {
        "myParameter": "MyValue"
      }
    }]
  }]
}
Class to import

com.sun.identity.authentication.spi.MetadataCallback

PollingWaitCallback

Indicates the number of milliseconds to wait before responding to the callback.

Example
{
  "callbacks": [{
    "type": "PollingWaitCallback",
    "output": [{
      "name": "waitTime",
      "value": "8000"
    }, {
      "name": "message",
      "value": "Waiting for response..."
    }]
  }]
}
Class to import

org.forgerock.openam.authentication.callbacks.PollingWaitCallback

RedirectCallback

Redirects the user-agent.

The Social Provider Handler node returns this callback when its Client Type is set to BROWSER, and the client must redirect the user to the social provider for authentication.

Example
{
  "callbacks": [{
    "type": "RedirectCallback",
    "output": [{
      "name": "redirectUrl",
      "value": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?nonce..."
    }, {
      "name": "redirectMethod",
      "value": "GET"
    }, {
      "name": "trackingCookie",
      "value": true
    }]
  }]
}

AM uses a trackingCookie to store the authentication identifier that reflects the client’s place in the authentication process.
