## Example authorization endpoint data provider plugin
Complete the following steps to implement an authorization endpoint data provider script that returns custom user session data:
1. [Create a custom script](#config-auth-endpoint-plugin)
2. [Configure AM to use the script](#configure-auth-endpoint-plugin)
3. [Create an OAuth2 client for authorization](#create-oauth2-client)
4. [Try the sample authorization endpoint data provider plugin](#try-auth-endpoint-plugin)

| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | To configure AM to use a *Java* authorization endpoint data provider plugin, refer to [Configure AM to use a Java OAuth 2.0 plugin](customizing-oauth2-scopes.html#configure-java-oauth2-plugin). |
### Create a custom script
1. [Create a new](../am-scripting/manage-scripts-console.html#create-scripts-with-console) OAuth2 Authorize Endpoint Data Provider Script.
You can create either a Legacy or a Next Generation script.
2. In the script window, add the following JavaScript:
* Legacy
* Next-generation
```javascript
(function () {
var map = new java.util.HashMap()
// Add an arbitrary query string parameter.
map.put("hello", "world")
// Add the IP address if available.
if (session) {
map.put("ipAddress", session.getProperty("Host"))
}
return map
}());
```
```javascript
var map = {};
// Add an arbitrary query string parameter.
map.key = "value";
// Add the IP address if available.
if (session) {
map.ipAddress = session.getProperty("Host");
}
map;
```

| | Find information about the common bindings such as `logger` and `scriptName` in [Common bindings](../am-scripting/script-bindings.html).Find the bindings specific to scope evaluation scripts in the [Scope evaluation scripting API](../am-scripting/scope-evaluation-api.html). |
3. Save your changes.
The script returns a static key/value pair, `"hello": "world"`, and adds the user's IP address from session data.
### Configure AM to use the script
Perform this task to set up an OAuth2 provider to use the authorization endpoint data provider script.
1. [Configure the provider](customizing-oauth2-scopes.html#configure-scripted-oauth2-plugin) and make sure the following properties are set:
* Authorize Endpoint Data Provider Plugin Type to `SCRIPTED`.
* Authorize Endpoint Data Provider Script to the script you created.
2. Save your changes.
### Create an OAuth2 client for authorization
Create an OAuth 2.0 client to use in the authorization request.
1. In the AM admin UI, go to Realms > *realm name* > Applications > OAuth 2.0 > Clients, and click Add Client.
2. Enter the following values:
* **Client ID**: `myClient`
* **Client secret**: `mySecret`
* **Redirection URIs**: `https://www.example.com:443/callback`
* **Scope(s)**: `access|Access to your data`
3. Click Create.
AM is now prepared for you to perform an OAuth2 authorization request to try the sample plugin.
### Try the sample authorization endpoint data provider plugin
1. Log in to AM as a test user, for example:
```bash
$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "X-OpenAM-Username: bjensen" \
--header "X-OpenAM-Password: Ch4ng31t" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=2.0, protocol=1.0" \
'https://am.example.com:8443/am/json/realms/root/realms/alpha/authenticate'
{
"tokenId":"AQIC5wM…TU3OQ*",
"successUrl":"/am/console",
"realm":"/alpha"
}
```
Note the SSO token value returned as `tokenId` in the output.
2. Invoke the authorization server's [/oauth2/authorize](oauth2-authorize-endpoint.html) endpoint specifying the SSO token value in a cookie, and the following parameters:
* **client\_id**=`myClient`
* **response\_type**=`code`
* **redirect\_uri**=`https://www.example.com:443/callback`
* **decision**=`allow`
* **csrf**=*SSO-token*
For example:
```bash
$ curl --dump-header - \
--request POST \
--cookie "iPlanetDirectoryPro=AQIC5wM…TU3OQ*" \
--data "scope=access" \
--data "response_type=code" \
--data "client_id=myClient" \
--data "csrf=AQIC5wM…TU3OQ*" \
--data "redirect_uri=https://www.example.com:443/callback" \
--data "state=abc123" \
--data "decision=allow" \
"https://am.example.com:8443/am/oauth2/realms/root/realms/alpha/authorize"
```
If the authorization server is able to authenticate the user and the client, it returns a successful HTTP 302 response, for example:
```bash
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-store
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2018 11:42:37 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Location: https://www.example.com:443/callback?code=g5B3qZ8rWzKIU2xodV&ipAddress=127.0.0.1&scope=access&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fam.example.com%3A8443%2Fam%2Foauth2&hello=world&state=abc123&client_id=myClient
Vary: Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Accept
Content-Length: 0
```
As the example output indicates, the parameters injected by the authorization endpoint data provider script, `ipAddress=127.0.0.1` and `hello=world`, are both appended to the redirect URL.
