Passing data along the chain

Pass profile data downstream

Retrieve user profile attributes of an AM user, and provide them in the UserProfileContext to downstream filters and handlers. Profile attributes that are enabled in AM can be retrieved, except the roles attribute.

The userProfile property of AmService is configured to retrieve employeeNumber and mail. When the property is not configured, all available attributes in rawInfo or asJsonValue() are displayed.

Retrieve profile attributes for a user authenticated with an SSO token

In this example, the user is authenticated with AM through the SingleSignOnFilter, which stores the SSO token and its validation information in the SsoTokenContext. The UserProfileFilter retrieves the user’s mail and employee number, as well as the username, _id, and _rev, from that context.

Set up AM:

Select Services > Add a Service and add a Validation Service with the following Valid goto URL Resources:
- https://ig.example.com:8443/*
- https://ig.example.com:8443/*?*
Register an IG agent with the following values, as described in Register an IG agent in AM:
- Agent ID: ig_agent
- Password: password
  
  Use secure passwords in a production environment. Consider using a password manager to generate secure passwords.

(Optional) Authenticate the agent to AM as described in Authenticate an IG agent to AM.

IG agents are automatically authenticated to AM by a deprecated authentication module in AM. This step is currently optional, but will be required when authentication chains and modules are removed in a future release of AM.

Select Services > Add a Service, and add a Validation Service with the following Valid goto URL Resources:
- http://ig.example.com:8080/*
- http://ig.example.com:8080/?

Set up IG:

Set up IG for HTTPS, as described in Configure IG for HTTPS (server-side).
Set an environment variable for the IG agent password, and then restart IG:
```
$ export AGENT_SECRET_ID='cGFzc3dvcmQ='
```
The password is retrieved by a SystemAndEnvSecretStore, and must be base64-encoded.

}

Test the setup:
1. In your browser’s privacy or incognito mode, go to https://ig.example.com:8443/user-profile-sso.
2. Log in to AM with username demo and password Ch4ng31t.
  
  The UserProfileFilter retrieves the user’s profile data and stores it in the UserProfileContext. The StaticResponseHandler displays the username and the profile data available in rawInfo:
  username: demo rawInfo: {_id=demo, _rev=-1, mail=[demo@example.com], username=demo}

Retrieve a username from the sessionInfo context

In this example, the UserProfileFilter retrieves AM profile information for the user identified by the SessionInfoContext, at ${contexts.amSession.username}. The SessionInfoFilter validates an SSO token without redirecting the request to an authentication page.

Test the setup:

In a terminal window, use a curl command similar to the following to retrieve an access token:

$ curl --request POST \
--url http://am.example.com:8088/openam/json/realms/root/authenticate \
--header 'accept-api-version: resource=2.0' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--header 'x-openam-username: demo' \
--header 'x-openam-password: Ch4ng31t' \
--data '{}'

{"tokenId":"AQI...AA*","successUrl":"/openam/console"}

Access the route, providing the path to the certificate and token ID retrieved in the previous step:
```
$ curl -v \
--cacert /path/to/secrets/ig.example.com-certificate.pem \
--cookie 'iPlanetDirectoryPro=tokenID'  \
https://ig.example.com:8443/user-profile-ses-info | jq .

{

  "user_profile": {
    "_id": "demo",
    "_rev": "123...456",
    "employeeNumber": ["123"],
    "mail": ["demo@example.com"],
    "username": "demo"
  }
}
```
iPlanetDirectoryPro is the name of the AM session cookie. For more information, refer to Find the AM session cookie name.

The UserProfileFilter retrieves the user’s profile data and stores it in the UserProfileContext. The StaticResponseHandler displays the username and the profile data available in asJsonValue().

Retrieve a username from the OAuth2Context

In this example, the OAuth2ResourceServerFilter validates a request containing an OAuth 2.0 access token, using the introspection endpoint, and injects the token into the OAuth2Context context. The UserProfileFilter retrieves AM profile information for the user identified by this context.

Before you start, set up and test the example in Validate access tokens through the introspection endpoint.

The UserProfileFilter retrieves the user’s profile data and stores it in the UserProfileContext. The StaticResponseHandler displays the username and the profile data that is available in asJsonValue().

Passing runtime data downstream

The following sections describe how to pass identity or other runtime information in a JWT, downstream to a protected application:

The examples in this section use the following objects:

JwtBuilderFilter to collect runtime information and pack it into a JWT
HeaderFilter to add the information to the forwarded request

To help with development, the sample application includes a /jwt endpoint to display the JWT, verify its signature, and decrypt the JWT.

Pass runtime data in a JWT signed with a PEM

Set up secrets

Locate a directory for secrets, and go to it:
```
$ cd /path/to/secrets
```

Generate PEM files to sign and verify the JWT:

$ openssl req \
-newkey rsa:2048 \
-new \
-nodes \
-x509 \
-days 3650 \
-subj "/CN=ig.example.com/OU=example/O=com/L=fr/ST=fr/C=fr" \
-keyout id.key.for.signing.jwt.pem \
-out id.key.for.verifying.jwt.pem

Set up AM:

Select Services > Add a Service and add a Validation Service with the following Valid goto URL Resources:
- https://ig.example.com:8443/*
- https://ig.example.com:8443/*?*
Register an IG agent with the following values, as described in Register an IG agent in AM:
- Agent ID: ig_agent
- Password: password
  
  Use secure passwords in a production environment. Consider using a password manager to generate secure passwords.

(Optional) Authenticate the agent to AM as described in Authenticate an IG agent to AM.

Set up IG:

Set up IG for HTTPS, as described in Configure IG for HTTPS (server-side).
Set an environment variable for the IG agent password, and then restart IG:
```
$ export AGENT_SECRET_ID='cGFzc3dvcmQ='
```
The password is retrieved by a SystemAndEnvSecretStore, and must be base64-encoded.

  }
}

Notice the following features of the route:

The route matches requests to /jwt-builder-sign-pem.
The agent password for AmService is provided by a SystemAndEnvSecretStore.
If the request does not have a valid AM session cookie, the SingleSignOnFilter redirects the request to authenticate with AM. If the request already has a valid AM session cookie, the SingleSignOnFilter passes the request to the next filter, and stores the cookie value in an SsoTokenContext.
The UserProfileFilter reads the username from the SsoTokenContext, uses it to retrieve the user’s profile info from AM, and places the data into the UserProfileContext.
The JwtBuilderFilter refers to the secret ID of the PEM, and uses the FileSystemSecretStore to manage the secret.
The FileSystemSecretStore mapping refers to the secret ID of the PEM, and uses the PemPropertyFormat to define the format.
The HeaderFilter retrieves the JWT from the JwtBuilderContext, and adds it to the header field x-openig-user in the request, so that the sample app can display the JWT.
The ClientHandler passes the request to the sample app, which displays the JWT.

Test the setup:
1. In your browser’s privacy or incognito mode, go to https://ig.example.com:8443/jwt-builder-sign-pem.
2. Log in to AM as user demo, password Ch4ng31t. The sample application displays the signed JWT along with its header and payload.
3. In USE PEM FILE in the sample app, enter the path to id.key.for.verifying.jwt.pem to verify the JWT signature.

Pass runtime data in a JWT signed with PEM then encrypted with a symmetric key

This example passes runtime data in a JWT that is signed with a PEM, and then encrypted with a symmetric key.

Set up secrets
1. Locate a directory for secrets, and go to it:
  $ cd /path/to/secrets
2. From the secrets directory, generate PEM files to sign and verify the JWT:
  $ openssl req \ -newkey rsa:2048 \ -new \ -nodes \ -x509 \ -days 3650 \ -subj "/CN=ig.example.com/OU=example/O=com/L=fr/ST=fr/C=fr" \ -keyout id.key.for.signing.jwt.pem \ -out id.key.for.verifying.jwt.pem
3. Encrypt the PEM file used to sign the JWT:
  $ openssl pkcs8 \ -topk8 \ -inform PEM \ -outform PEM \ -in id.key.for.signing.jwt.pem \ -out id.encrypted.key.for.signing.jwt.pem \ -passout pass:encryptedpassword \ -v1 PBE-SHA1-3DES
  The encrypted PEM file used for signatures is id.encrypted.key.for.signing.jwt.pem. The password to decode the file is encryptedpassword.
  
  If encryption fails, make sure your encryption methods and ciphers are supported by the Java Cryptography Extension.
4. Generate a symmetric key to encrypt the JWT:

Notice the following features of the route:

The route matches requests to /jwtbuilder-sign-then-encrypt.
The SystemAndEnvSecretStore provides the IG agent password and the password to decode the PEM file for the signing keys.
The FileSystemSecretStore maps the secret IDs of the encrypted PEM file used to sign the JWT, and the symmetric key used to encrypt the JWT.
After authentication, the UserProfileFilter reads the username from the SsoTokenContext, uses it to retrieve the user’s profile info from AM, and places the data into the UserProfileContext.
The JwtBuilderFilter takes the username and email from the UserProfileContext, and stores them in a JWT in the JwtBuilderContext. It uses the secrets mapped in the FileSystemSecretStore to sign then encrypt the JWT.
The AddBuiltJwtToHeader HeaderFilter retrieves the JWT from the JwtBuilderContext, and adds it to the header field x-openig-user in the request so that the sample app can display the JWT.
The AddBuiltJwtAsCookie HeaderFilter adds the JWT to a cookie called my-jwt so that it can be retrieved by the JwtValidationFilter in JWT validation. The cookie is ignored in this example.
The ClientHandler passes the request to the sample app.

Test the setup:
1. In your browser’s privacy or incognito mode, go to https://ig.example.com:8443/jwtbuilder-sign-then-encrypt.
2. Log in to AM as user demo, password Ch4ng31t. The sample app displays the encrypted JWT. The payload is concealed because the JWT is encrypted.
3. In the ENTER SECRET box, enter the value of symmetric.key.for.encrypting.jwt to decrypt the JWT. The signed JWT and its payload are now displayed.
4. In the USE PEM FILE box, enter the path to id.key.for.verifying.jwt.pem to verify the JWT signature.

Pass runtime data in JWT encrypted with a symmetric key

Set up secrets:
1. Locate a directory for secrets, and go to it:
  $ cd /path/to/secrets
2. In the secrets folder, generate an AES 256-bit key:
  $ openssl rand -base64 32 loH...UFQ=
3. In the secrets folder, create a file called symmetric.key.for.encrypting.jwt containing the AES key:
  $ echo -n 'loH...UFQ=' > symmetric.key.for.encrypting.jwt
  Make sure the password file contains only the password, with no trailing spaces or carriage returns.

Set up AM:

Notice the following features of the route:

The route matches requests to /jwtbuilder-encrypt-symmetric.
The JWT encryption key is managed by the FileSystemSecretStore in the heap, which defines the SecretKeyPropertyFormat.
The JwtBuilderFilter encryption property refers to key in the FileSystemSecretStore.
The HeaderFilter retrieves the JWT from the JwtBuilderContext, and adds it to the header field x-openig-user in the request, so that the sample app can display the JWT.

Test the setup:
1. In your browser’s privacy or incognito mode, go to https://ig.example.com:8443/jwtbuilder-encrypt-symmetric.
2. Log in to AM as user demo, password Ch4ng31t, or as another user. The JWT is displayed in the sample app.
3. In the ENTER SECRET field, enter the value of the AES 256-bit key to decrypt the JWT and display its payload.

Pass runtime data in JWT encrypted with an asymmetric key

The asymmetric key in this example is a PEM, but you can equally use a keystore.

Set up secrets:

Locate a directory for secrets, and go to it:
```
$ cd /path/to/secrets
```

Generate an encrypted PEM file:

$ openssl req \
-newkey rsa:2048 \
-new \
-nodes \
-x509 \
-days 3650 \
-subj "/CN=ig.example.com/OU=example/O=com/L=fr/ST=fr/C=fr" \
-keyout id.key.for.encrypting.jwt.pem \
-out id.key.for.decrypting.jwt.pem
