Class JwtBuilderFilter

java.lang.Object
org.forgerock.openig.filter.JwtBuilderFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Filter

public class JwtBuilderFilter extends Object implements Filter
The JwtBuilderFilter collects data from template and puts the name-value pairs into a JWT structure. Then the JWT structure is placed in a context JwtBuilderContext for downstream use.

This filter can produce:

  • unsecured (unsigned JWT are deprecated as not secure)
  • signed JWT
  • signed then encrypted JWT
  • encrypted JWT

Example of use - unsecured(unsigned) JWT (deprecated):
 {
      "type": "JwtBuilderFilter",
      "config": {
          "template": {
              "mail": "${contexts.userProfile.rawInfo.mail[0]}",
              "employeeNumber": "${contexts.userProfile.rawInfo.employeeNumber[0]}"
          }
      }
   }
 
 
Example for signing a JWT:
 {
      "type": "JwtBuilderFilter",
      "config": {
          "template": "${attributes.userProfile}",
          "signature": {
              "secretId": "my.signature.key",
              "algorithm": "HS384"
          }
      }
 }
 
 
Example for signing then encrypting a JWT:
 {
      "type": "JwtBuilderFilter",
      "config": {
          "template": {
              "mail": "${contexts.userProfile.rawInfo.mail[0]}",
              "employeeNumber": "${contexts.userProfile.rawInfo.employeeNumber[0]}"
          },
          "signature": {
              "secretId": "my.signature.key",
              "algorithm": "HS256",
              "encryption": {
                  "secretId": "my.encryption.key",
                  "algorithm": "dir",
                  "method": "A128CBC-HS256"
              }
          }
      }
 }
 
 
Example for encrypting a JWT:
 {
      "name": "JwtBuilderFilter-1",
      "type": "JwtBuilderFilter",
      "config": {
          "template": "${attributes.userProfile}",
          "secretsProvider": "SystemAndEnvSecretStore-1"
          "encryption": {
              "secretId": "my.encryption.key",
              "algorithm": "dir",
              "method": "A128GCM"
          }
      }
 }

      public JwtBuilderFilter(Object template, JwtFactory jwtFactory) throws ExpressionException
      Creates a new JwtBuilderFilter which will create a JWT based on the given JSON template and place it into the context JwtBuilderContext.
      Parameters:
      template - The template representing compiled expressions from the template configuration item.
      jwtFactory - The JwtFactory used to create the JWT, not null.
      Throws:
      ExpressionException - When the template contains invalid expressions

    • filter

      public Promise<Response,NeverThrowsException> filter(Context context, Request request, Handler next)
      Description copied from interface: Filter
      Filters the request and/or response of an exchange. To pass the request to the next filter or handler in the chain, the filter calls next.handle(context, request).

      This method may elect not to pass the request to the next filter or handler, and instead handle the request itself. It can achieve this by merely avoiding a call to next.handle(context, request) and creating its own response object. The filter is also at liberty to replace a response with another of its own by intercepting the response returned by the next handler.

      Specified by:
      filter in interface Filter
      Parameters:
      context - The request context.
      request - The request.
      next - The next filter or handler in the chain to handle the request.
      Returns:
      A Promise representing the response to be returned to the client.
