# Client configuration reference

* Enabled

  Whether the provider is enabled.

  Required: Yes.

* Auth ID Key

  The attribute the social identity provider uses to identify an authenticated individual. For example, `id`, `sub`, and `user_id`.

  Required: Yes.

* Client ID

  The `client_id` parameter as described in [section 2.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-2.2) of *The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework* specification.

  Required: Yes.

* Client Secret

  The `client_secret` parameter as described in [section 2.3](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-2.3) of *The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework* specification.

  |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
  | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  |   | This property is deprecated. Use the Client Secret Label Identifier instead.If you set a Client Secret Label Identifier and Advanced Identity Cloud finds a matching secret in a secret store, the Client Secret is ignored. |

  Required: No.

* Client Secret Label Identifier

  An identifier used to create a *secret label* for mapping to a secret in a secret store.

  Advanced Identity Cloud uses this identifier to create a specific secret label for this service instance, using the template `am.social.providers.identifier.secret` where identifier is the value of Client Secret Label Identifier.

  The identifier can only contain alphanumeric characters `a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`, and periods (`.`). It can't start or end with a period.

  If you set a Client Secret Label Identifier and Advanced Identity Cloud finds a matching secret in a secret store, the Client Secret is ignored.

  Required: No.

* Authentication Endpoint URL

  The URL to the social provider's endpoint handling authentication as described in [section 3.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-3.1) of *The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework*. For example, `https://accounts.google.com/oauth2/v2/auth`.

  Required: Yes.

* Access Token Endpoint URL

  The URL to the endpoint handling access tokens as described in [section 3.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-3.2) of *The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework* specification. For example, `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token`.

  Required: Yes.

* User Profile Service URL

  The user profile URL that returns profile information. For example, `https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo`.

  This URL should return JSON objects in its response.

  Required: No.

* Token Introspection Endpoint URL

  The URL to the endpoint handling access token validation, as described in the [*OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection*](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7662) specification. For example, `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo`.

  Required: No.

* Redirect URL

  The URL to which the identity provider will redirect the user after authenticating, as described in [Section 3.1.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-3.1.2) of *The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework* specification.

  This URL is usually a page or path in Advanced Identity Cloud. For example, `https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/am?_realm=alpha`. The URL is also registered in the identity provider's service.

  If you're using an app built with the Ping SDKs for Android or iOS, you can also use a custom URI scheme as the redirect. For example, `com.example.sdkapp:redirect_uri_path` or `auth://com.example.ios.sdkapp`.

  |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
  | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  |   | * When using the `FORM_POST` response mode, you must specify the `form_post` endpoint in the redirection URL. For example, `https://[.var]##_<tenant-env-fqdn>_##/am/oauth2/client/form_post/social IdP client`.

    Find more information in [Response Mode](#response-mode).

  * If you encounter domain validation prompts when using `forgeblocks.com` and `id.forgerock.io` domains as redirect URLs in your Google OAuth 2.0 applications, you must [use a custom domain](../realms/custom-domains.html), and then set up [domain verification with Google](../realms/custom-domains.html#custom-domain-google).

  * If you encounter `No provider found` errors when using `forgeblocks.com` and `id.forgerock.io` domains as redirect URLs in your OAuth 2.0 applications, either modify the redirect URL to include a realm identifier, or [use a custom domain](../realms/custom-domains.html):

    * Incorrect:

      ```
      https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/am/oauth2/client/form_post/...
      ```

    * Correct:

      ```
      https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/am/oauth2/<realm>/client/form_post/...
      ```

      *or*

      ```
      https://<custom-domain>/am/oauth2/client/form_post/...
      ```

      A custom domain acts as a realm DNS alias, so when it's used as a redirect URL, you don't have to specify the realm because Advanced Identity Cloud implicitly knows which realm to use. |

  Required: Yes.

* Redirect after form post URL

  The URL of a custom login page or application. Advanced Identity Cloud will send processed form post data related to social login authentication to that URL as the value of the `form_post_entry` query parameter.

  To continue the authentication journey, the custom login page is responsible for making a call to the Advanced Identity Cloud `/json/authenticate` endpoint with the authentication ID (`authID`) and the processed form data (`form_post_entry`).

  Configure this property when the following is true:

  * The `FORM_POST` response mode is configured.

  * Your users log in to Advanced Identity Cloud using custom login pages, such as apps using the Ping SDKs, instead of the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console.

    Required: No.

* Scope Delimiter

  The delimiter used to separate scope values. For example, a blank space (``), or a comma character (`,`).

  Most providers use a blank space.

  Required: Yes.

* OAuth Scopes

  The list of scopes to request from the provider.

  The scopes that the provider returns depends on the permissions that the resource owner, such as the end user, grants to the client application.

  For example, Google exposes its supported scopes in their [OAuth 2.0 Scopes for Google APIs](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes) documentation.

  Required: Yes.

* Client Authentication Method

  How the client should authenticate to the provider. Possible values are:

  * `CLIENT_SECRET_POST`

    The client sends the client ID and the secret in the `client_ID` and the `client_secret` parameters in the body of the request.

  * `CLIENT_SECRET_BASIC`

    The client sends the client ID and the secret in a basic authorization header with the base64-encoded value of *client-id:client-secret*.

  * `PRIVATE_KEY_JWT`

    The client sends its credentials to the provider in a signed JWT as specified in the [JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7523).

  * `ENCRYPTED_PRIVATE_KEY_JWT`

    The client sends its credentials to the provider in a signed, then encrypted JWT as specified in the [JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants](https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7523).

  Some authentication methods require additional configuration:

  >    2. If you chose an encryption method different from the Direct AES Encryption method, configure signing. Find more information in [How do I configure JWT authentication with signed JWTs?](#JWT-auth-signing).

  Required: Yes.

* PKCE Method

  Specifies the PKCE transformation method Advanced Identity Cloud uses when making requests to the provider's authorization endpoint, as specified in [Section 4.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7636.html#section-4.2) of the *Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients* specification.

  Select `NONE` to disable PKCE transformations.

  Required: No.

* Request Parameter JWT Option

  (OIDC providers only) Specifies whether Advanced Identity Cloud should provide a request object JWT to the provider. Possible values are:

  * `NONE`

    Advanced Identity Cloud doesn't send a request object to the provider.

  * `REFERENCE`

    The request object JWT is stored in Advanced Identity Cloud's CTS token store, and Advanced Identity Cloud exposes a unique identifier for it using the `oauth2/request_uri` endpoint for the realm. The URL to the endpoint and the JWT's unique identifier are passed to the provider in the `request_uri` parameter of the request.

    Ensure that the provider can reach the endpoint.

    An example of the URL is `https://platform.example.com:8443/am/realms/root/realms/myRealm/oauth2/request_uri/requestobjectID`

    |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
    | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    |   | When integrating with [itsme®](https://www.itsme.be/en/), ensure that the base URL of Advanced Identity Cloud contains the `443` port. For example, `https://platform.example.com:443/am`.To do this, configure the Base URL Source service:1) Under Native Consoles > Access Management, go to Realms > *Realm Name* > Services.

    2) Add a `Base URL Source` service (if one isn't already configured) or select it to change its properties:

       ![A screenshot showing itsme example configuration details for the Base URL Source service.](_images/base-URL-itsme.png) |

  * `VALUE`

    Advanced Identity Cloud appends the JWT as the value of the `request` parameter of the request.

* Require exp claim in Request Object

  (OIDC providers only) If enabled, the `exp` claim must be included in JWT request objects in the [/oauth2/authorize](../am-oauth2/oauth2-authorize-endpoint.html) request.

  The `exp` (expiration time) claim defines the lifetime of the JWT, after which the JWT is no longer valid.

  The default value of this attribute is false.

* Encrypt Request Parameter JWT

  Specifies whether the request parameter must be encrypted when Request Parameter JWT Option is set to `REFERENCE` or `VALUE`.

* ACR Values

  (OIDC providers only) A space-separated list, in order of preference, of the client's `acr` values.

  Required: No.

* Well Known Endpoint

  (OIDC providers only) The URL for retrieving information about the provider, such as endpoints, and public keys. For example, `https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration`.

  Any claims on the request object, in JSON format. These claims must conform to the [claims request parameter](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ClaimsParameter), as defined in the *OpenID Connect specification*.

* JWT Signing Algorithm

  The signing algorithm supported by the provider that Advanced Identity Cloud uses to sign the following:

  * Client authentication JWTs when Client Authentication Method is set to `PRIVATE_KEY_JWT`.

  * (OIDC providers only) Request JWTs when Request Parameter JWT Option is set to `VALUE` or `REFERENCE`.

  Obtain a list of the supported algorithms from the provider's `.well-known` endpoint. Select `NONE` if the client will encrypt the JWT with the Direct AES Encryption method, because the signature will be redundant.\
  Required: No.

- JWT Encryption Algorithm

  The encryption algorithm supported by the provider that Advanced Identity Cloud should use to encrypt client authentication JWTs when Client Authentication Method is set to `PRIVATE_KEY_JWT`, and (OIDC providers only) request JWTs when Request Parameter JWT Option is set to `VALUE` or `REFERENCE`.

  If set to `NONE`, Advanced Identity Cloud won't encrypt the JWTs. Obtain a list of the supported algorithms from the provider's `.well-known` endpoint.

  Required: No.

- JWT Encryption Method

  The encryption algorithm supported by the provider that Advanced Identity Cloud should use to encrypt the following:

  * Client authentication JWTs when Client Authentication Method is set to `PRIVATE_KEY_JWT`.

  * (OIDC providers only) Request JWTs when Request Parameter JWT Option is set to `VALUE` or `REFERENCE`.

  Use in conjunction with `JWT Encryption Algorithm`. Obtain a list of the supported methods from the provider's `.well-known` endpoint.\
  Required: No.

- Private Key JWT Expiration Time (seconds)

  Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that Advanced Identity Cloud will cache the client authentication JWT before creating a new one.

  Caching the JWT avoids creating a new one for every client authentication. However, it may also become invalid if the provider changes its configuration.

  Required: No.

* Response Mode

  (OIDC providers only) Specify the way the provider will return ID tokens to Advanced Identity Cloud. Possible values are:

  * `DEFAULT`. The provider returns the ID token as query parameters, as explained in the [OpenID Connect Core 1.0 incorporating errata set 1](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html) specification.

    Most preconfigured providers use the `DEFAULT` response mode.

  * `FORM_POST`. The provider returns the ID token by submitting an HTML form using the HTTP POST method, as explained in the [OAuth 2.0 Form Post Response Mode](https://openid.net/specs/oauth-v2-form-post-response-mode-1_0.html) specification.

    When using this response mode, add the `/oauth2/client/form_post/social IdP client` URI to the Redirect URL, where *social IdP client* is the name of the social identity provider client that you're configuring. For example, `https://[.var]##_<tenant-env-fqdn>_##/am/oauth2/client/form_post/myAppleClient` or `https://[.var]##_<tenant-env-fqdn>_##/am/oauth2/alpha/client/form_post/myAppleClient` if you need to specify a realm.

    By default, the `form_post` endpoint processes the post data, encrypts it, and redirects with it back to the authentication journey to resume authentication.

    However, environments using custom login pages need to configure the Redirect after form post URL property to redirect back to the custom login pages.

    Required: Yes.

- Certificate Revocation Checking Options

  Specify one or more options to be used by the TLS certificate revocation checking mechanism.

  The possible values are:

  * `ONLY_END_ENTITY`: Only check the revocation status of end-entity certificates.

  * `PREFER_CRLS`: Prefer certificate revocation lists (CRLs) to Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).

  * `NO_FALLBACK`: Disable the fallback mechanism.

  * `SOFT_FAIL`: Allow revocation check to succeed if the revocation status cannot be determined due to a network error.

  * `DISABLE_REVOCATION_CHECKING`: Disable all revocation checking.

  Including `DISABLE_REVOCATION_CHECKING` as one of the options will prevent any revocation checking. For further details of the other options, refer to: [PKIXRevocationChecker.Option](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/security/cert/PKIXRevocationChecker.Option.html).

  If no options are selected, the default behavior is to enable revocation checking with `SOFT_FAIL`.

  If the certificate doesn't specify any OCSP or CRL endpoints, the revocation checking will hard fail even if the `SOFT_FAIL` option is enabled. In this case, an administrator could disable revocation checking.

* Use Custom TrustStore

  Specifies whether a custom truststore is used to verify the server certificate of the `.well-known` endpoint or JWKs URI of an OpenID provider (OP) in a TLS handshake.

  If enabled, a secret label is generated dynamically using the alphanumeric characters of the client configuration name. For example, a client configuration called `sampleOidcConfig` results in a secret label named `am.services.oidc.reliant.party.sampleOidcConfig.truststore`.

  Note that an administrator must map the generated secret label to an alias that exists in the realm secret store.

  If this setting is not enabled, the default truststore is used to verify the server certificate.

- Request Native App for UserInfo

  (Apple SSO) When enabled, this flag indicates that the native app can send the user's `userinfo` in JSON format.

  Apple returns the `userinfo` only *once*, when the user first consents to send their details, and not on subsequent authentication attempts. In addition, the user has the option *not* to consent to Apple sending their `userinfo`.

  If you're progressively profiling the `userinfo` with data from other social providers—​usually, using a [Patch Object node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/patch-object.html)--there is a risk of overwriting the user's details with blank values when the user authenticates through Apple SSO.

  To mitigate this risk, you can add a [Scripted Decision node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/scripted-decision.html) to your authentication journey to assess whether `userinfo` is provided.

  > **Collapse: How do I use a Scripted Decision node to check ?**
  >
  > The [normalized-profile-to-managed-user.js](../am-scripting/sample-scripts.html#normalized-profile-to-managed-user-js) script sets a boolean flag (`nameEmptyOrNull`) that indicates whether Apple returned the user's `firstName` and `lastName`.
  >
  > Add a [Scripted Decision node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/scripted-decision.html) to your journey that evaluates the flag and sets the outcome accordingly; for example:
  >
  > * Next-generation
  >
  > * Legacy
  >
  > ```javascript
  > if (nodeState.get('nameEmptyOrNull')) {
  >   action.goTo("true");
  > } else {
  >   action.goTo("false");
  > }
  > ```
  >
  > ```javascript
  > var fr = JavaImporter(org.forgerock.openam.auth.node.api.Action);
  >
  > if (nodeState.get('nameEmptyOrNull')) {
  >   action = fr.Action.goTo("true").build();
  > } else {
  > action = fr.Action.goTo("false").build();
  > }
  > ```
  >
  > You can now configure your journey to patch the `userinfo` object based on the outcome of the [Scripted Decision node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/scripted-decision.html). If you need to progressively profile the user information on every authentication, *regardless of whether the user's first name and last name are returned by the OIDC provider*, you can use another [Scripted Decision node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/scripted-decision.html) that does the following:
  >
  > * If the user details aren't present, route the `userinfo` patch through a [Patch Object node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/patch-object.html) configured to ignore the `firstName` and `lastName`. (In the Ignored Fields list, add `givenName` to ignore the `firstName` and `sn` to ignore the `lastName`.)
  >
  > * If the user details are present, route the `userinfo` patch through a [Patch Object node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/patch-object.html) that patches the full object.
  >
  > For more information, refer to [First name and last name are missing when signing in to Identity Cloud or AM 7.x using Apple social sign-on](https://backstage.forgerock.com/knowledge/kb/article/a82054946) in the *ForgeRock Knowledge Base*.

  Required: No.

- UI Config Properties

  Specifies a map of properties defined and consumed in the UI. The map affects how the identity provider's logo will show on the login page.

  > **Collapse: Advanced Identity Cloud common end user UI properties**
  >
  > * `buttonImage`: A relative path to an image in the End User UI.
  >
  > * `buttonCustomStyle`: Any custom CSS you wish to apply to the button outside of normal End User UI styling.
  >
  > * `buttonClass`: Adds the specified class to the identity provider button, for any additional styling you want to apply.
  >
  > * `buttonCustomStyleHover`: Adds custom styling when the cursor is hovering over the button.
  >
  > * `buttonDisplayName`: The name of the identity provider, which will be included either on the button or in the button's `alt` attribute, depending on styling.

  Required: Yes

* Transform Script

  A script to convert the provider's raw profile object into a normalized object, also referred to as a *normalization* script.

  Each social identity provider returns different user profile information using their own attribute names.

  For example, Google's OIDC `/userinfo` endpoint returns claims, which Advanced Identity Cloud stores in a `rawProfile` object. The following `google-profile-normalization.js` script maps the attributes of this object to Advanced Identity Cloud profile attributes:

  * Legacy

  * Next-generation

  ```javascript
  (function () {
      var frJava = JavaImporter(
          org.forgerock.json.JsonValue
      );

      var normalizedProfileData = frJava.JsonValue.json(frJava.JsonValue.object());

      normalizedProfileData.put('id', rawProfile.get('sub'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('displayName', rawProfile.get('name'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('givenName', rawProfile.get('given_name'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('familyName', rawProfile.get('family_name'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('photoUrl', rawProfile.get('picture'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('email', rawProfile.get('email'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('username', rawProfile.get('email'));
      normalizedProfileData.put('locale', rawProfile.get('locale'));

      return normalizedProfileData;
  }());
  ```

  ```javascript
  function () {
      var normalizedProfileData = {};
      normalizedProfileData.id = rawProfile.get('sub');
      normalizedProfileData.displayName = rawProfile.get('name');
      normalizedProfileData.givenName = rawProfile.get('given_name');
      normalizedProfileData.familyName = rawProfile.get('family_name');
      normalizedProfileData.photoUrl = rawProfile.get('picture');
      normalizedProfileData.email = rawProfile.get('email');
      normalizedProfileData.username = rawProfile.get('email');
      normalizedProfileData.locale = rawProfile.get('locale');
      return normalizedProfileData;
  }();
  ```

  The script returns a JsonValue object containing normalized attributes in the following format:

  ```bash
  ("platformAttributeName", rawProfile.providerAttributeName)
  ```

  Even if field names are the same, such as `email` and `rawProfile.email`, they still need to be mapped for them to be included in the returned JSON object.

  Advanced Identity Cloud provides default scripts for other preconfigured identity providers. Find information about the bindings and expected return values in the `identity provider-profile-normalization.*` scripts in [Sample scripts](../am-scripting/sample-scripts.html) and in the [Social IdP scripting API](../am-scripting/social-idp-profile-transformation-api.html).

  To write your own script in Javascript for an identity provider, go to Realms > *Realm Name* > Scripts, and use the provided scripts as a reference.

  When a user authenticates, the social authentication journey calls another transformation script set in the [Social Provider Handler node](https://docs.pingidentity.com/auth-node-ref/latest/social-provider-handler.html) to convert the attributes again; this time into an identity object that Advanced Identity Cloud can process.

  |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

  |   | Social authentication nodes expect every attribute to have a value. In other words, the attributes returned by the identity provider can't be empty or `null`, or the journey will end with an error.For example, if a user tries to log in using Google as the identity provider, but they didn't configure a surname in their account, Google returns `null` as the value of the `familyName` for the identity, and social authentication fails.Ensure all users have their social profiles configured correctly, or modify the transformation scripts so that they don't collect null or empty attributes. |

  Required: Yes

- Issuer comparison check

  (OIDC providers only) Determines how the expected issuer value should match the actual value of the `iss` claim:

  * `EXACT`: Advanced Identity Cloud performs a string comparison between the expected and actual issuer values, which must result in an exact match.

  * `REGEX`: Advanced Identity Cloud evaluates the expected issuer value as a regular expression, against which the actual value must match.

    This lets social identity providers use a common issuer value for multiple tenants, which is replaced with a unique value during the OIDC authentication flow. For example, `^https://login.microsoftonline.com/(.*)/v2.0$` is successfully matched against `https://login.microsoftonline.com/tenant-d5c6a592-eec6-47f0/v2.0`.

    |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
    | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    |   | Consider the performance impact when constructing regular expressions as the comparison is performed for each social identity provider interaction.Also, ensure the regular expression is as specific as possible to avoid matching against incorrect issuer values. |
