I've set up a MediaWiki server on an Azure website with the PluggableAuth and OpenID Connect extensions. The latter uses the PHP OpenID Connect Basic Client library. I am an administrator in the Azure AD domain example.com, wherein I've created an application with App ID URI, sign-on URL and reply URL all set to https://wiki.azurewebsites.net/. When I navigate to the wiki, I observe the following behavior (cookie values omitted for now):
Client Request
GET https://wiki.azurewebsites.net/ HTTP/1.1
RP Request
GET https://login.windows.net/example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration
IP Response
(some response)
RP Response
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

Client Request
(follows redirect)
IP Response
HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Client Request
(follows redirect)
RP Request (also repeats #2 & #3)

grant_type=authorization_code&code={code}&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.azurewebsites.net%2F&client_id={client_id}&client_secret={client_secret}
IP Response
(As interpreted by MediaWiki; I don't have the full response logged at this time)
AADSTS50001: Resource identifier is not provided.
Note that if I change the OpenID PHP client to provide the 'resource' parameter in step 8, I get the following error response from AAD instead:
RP Request
POST https://login.windows.net/{tenant_id}/oauth2/token
grant_type=authorization_code&code={code}&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.azurewebsites.net%2F&resource=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.azurewebsites.net%2F&client_id={client_id}&client_secret={client_secret}
IP Response
AADSTS90027: The client '{client_id}' and resource 'https://wiki.azurewebsites.net/' identify the same application.
(This has come up before.)
Update
I've made some progress based on #jricher's suggestions, but after working through several more errors I've hit one that I can't figure out. Once this is all done I'll submit pull requests to the affected libraries.
Here's what I've done:
I've added a second application to the example.com Azure AD domain, with the App ID URI set to mediawiki://wiki.azurewebsites.net/, as a dummy "resource". I also granted the https://wiki.azurewebsites.net/ application delegated access to this new application.
Passing in the dummy application's URI as the resource parameter in step #8, I'm now getting back the access, refresh, and ID tokens in #9!
The OpenID Connect library requires that the ID token be signed, but while Azure AD signs the access token it doesn't sign the ID token. It comes with the following properties: {"typ":"JWT","alg":"none"}. So I had to modify the library to allow the caller to specify that unsigned ID tokens are considered "verified". Grrr.
Okay, next it turns out that the claims can't be verified because the OpenID Provider URL I specified and the issuer URL returned in the token are different. (Seriously?!) So, the provider has to be specified as https://sts.windows.net/{tenant_id}/, and then that works.
Next, I found that I hadn't run the MediaWiki DB upgrade script for the OpenID Connect extension yet. Thankfully that was a quick fix.
After that, I am now left with (what I hope is) the final problem of trying to get the user info from AAD's OpenID Connect UserInfo endpoint. I'll give that its own section.
Can't get the user info [Updated]
This is where I am stuck now. After step #9, following one or two intermediate requests to get metadata and keys for verifying the token, the following occurs:
RP Request:
(Updated to use GET with Authorization: Bearer header, per MSDN and the spec.)
GET https://login.windows.net/{tenant_id}/openid/userinfo
Authorization: Bearer {access_token}
IP Response:
400 Bad Request
AADSTS50063: Credential parsing failed. AADSTS90010: JWT tokens cannot be used with the UserInfo endpoint.
(If I change #10 to be either a POST request, with access_token in the body, or a GET request with access_token in the query string, AAD returns the error: AADSTS70000: Authentication failed. UserInfo token is not valid. The same occurs if I use the value of the id_token in place of the access_token value that I received.)
Help?
Update
I'm still hoping someone can shed light on the final issue (the UserInfo endpoint not accepting the bearer token), but I may split that out into a separate question. In the meantime, I'm adding some workarounds to the libraries (PRs coming soon) so that the claims which are already being returned in the bearer token can be used instead of making the call to the UserInfo endpoint. Many thanks to everyone who's helped out with this.
There's also a nagging part of me that wonders if the whole thing would not have been simpler with the OpenID Connect Basic Profile. I assume there's a reason why that was not implemented by the MediaWiki extension.
Update 2
I just came across a new post from Vittorio Bertocci that includes this helpful hint:
...in this request the application is asking for a token for itself! In Azure AD this is possible only if the requested token is an id_token...
This suggests that just changing the token request type in step 8 from authorization_code to id_token could remove the need for the non-standard resource parameter and also make the ugly second AAD application unnecessary. Still a hack, but it feels like much less of one.
Justin is right. For authorization code grant flow, your must specify the resource parameter in either the authorization request or the token request.
Use &resource=https%3A%2F%2Fgraph.windows.net%2F to get an access token for the Azure AD Graph API.
Use &resource=https%3A%2F%2Fmanagement.core.windows.net%2F to get a token for the Azure Service Management APIs.
...
Hope this helps
Microsoft's implementation of OpenID Connect (and OAuth2) has a known bug where it requires the resource parameter to be sent by the client. This is an MS-specific parameter and requiring it unfortunately breaks compatibility with pretty much every major OAuth2 and OpenID Connect library out there. I know that MS is aware of the issue (I've been attempting to do interoperability testing with their team for quite a while now), but I don't know of any plans to fix the problem.
So in the mean time, your only real path is to hack your client software so that it sends a resource parameter that the AS will accept. It looks like you managed to make it send the parameter, but didn't send a value that it liked.
I had issues getting this running on Azure, even though I got something working locally. Since I was trying to setup a private wiki anyway, I ended up enabling Azure AD protection for the whole site by turning on:
All Settings -> Features -> Authentication / Authorization
From within the website in https://portal.azure.com
This made it so you had to authenticate to Azure-AD before you saw any page of the site. Once you were authenticated a bunch of HTTP Headers are set for the application with your username, including REMOTE_USER. As a result I used the following plugin to automatically log the already authenticated user into Azure:

We are using the following stack :
Kotlin 1.6.0 running on JVM 11
com.netflix.graphql.dgs:graphql-dgs-spring-boot-starter 5.0.4
com.netflix.graphql.dgs:graphql-dgs-subscriptions-websockets 5.0.4
com.netflix.graphql.dgs:graphql-dgs-subscriptions-websockets-autoconfigure 5.0.4
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security 2.6.7
org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server 2.6.7
We are authenticating using the Google Identity Platform from the client side and passing the resulting Bearer token to the DGS API.
The pure HTTP requests (DgsQuery, DgsMutation) are able to extract the processed/validated token without an issue - and we are able to determine the userId from this.
Expected Results
When calling a subscription graph call we are expecting to extract the same details from the processed Bearer token - so we can then utilise the User Identification within the business logic.
Actual Results
The SecurityContextHolder returns an authorization value that is null. And passing in an invalid token still correctly returns subscribed results, suggesting that the subscription endpoint is not being hooked into the JWT authentication at all.
Question
What would be the recommended approach in providing the same authentication behavior and availability of Security Context to Subscriptions as is available to both DGSQuery and DGSMutation annotated functions?
From research - I understand that this needs to be performed in the initial handshake and then saved to the session.
Worth mentioning - that when calling the server from the GraphiQL UI - therefore using the newest protocol - the authentication occurs and the Security Context is populated with the correct information. However, this then fails with "Trying to execute subscription on /graphql. Use /subscriptions instead!" - which is to be expected with the incompatible client/server versions.
I am having an issue calling External Transfer Settings API. I tested other APIs and was able to get a response. Below is the URI I used for External Transfers.
https://banno.com/a/transfer-settings/api/v0/institutions/xxxx/xxxxxxx/transfer/settings/external
and the response I got is 'Cannot PUT /a/transfer-settings/api/v0/institutions/xxxx/xxxxx/transfer/settings/external'
1) Which endpoint is the the one that is failing?
The /xxxx/xxxxx/ makes it a bit ambiguous if this is the Institution External Transfer Settings endpoint (PUT /a/transfer-settings/api/v0/institutions/{institutionId}/transfer/settings/external or if it is the User External Transfer Settings endpoint (PUT /a/transfer-settings/api/v0/institutions/{institutionId}/users/{userId}/transfer/settings/external
2) Can you provide the full error response?
The error response will have an HTTP status code (which is helpful), a response body, and a header x-request-id (which is also helpful) to understand what is occurring.
When I make a request using Postman to query the Visma Net API /account endpoint, I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request error:
{
"ExceptionType": "IPPException",
"ExceptionMessage": "",
"ExceptionFaultCode": "12002",
"ExceptionMessageID": "12002_12002_some-guid",
"ExceptionDetails": ""
}
The request I send is to:
https://integration.visma.net/API/controller/api/v1/account?active=true
I put the received Bearer token from the OAuth authentication step in the Authorization header.
A 12002 code is returned by Visma.net for at least the following cases:
The company ID is not set (in Swagger site: enter the ID in top right corner, retrieve list of companies available to you using Context in list).
The user is not authenticated on the company ID provided in the HTTP header.
To use swagger: https://integration.visma.net/API-index/.
The ipp-company-id in the top right corner of the visma.net API swagger site can also manually be handled.
Besides the Authorization header, you set two headers:
ipp-company-id: the company id
ipp-application-type: always "Visma.net Financials"
Best is to enter into a partner agreement with Visma. They have a lot of additional information and training videos. Note that implicit grant is not supported, only code grant flow, so there are some security risks involved when running on untrusted devices. Best is to acquire a client ID per untrusted environment or use visma.net APIs only from your own trusted environment.
I need to be able to do the following (with plain cURL & JSON server-side- no frameworks or Java):
Use a string representation of a Keycloak access token I have been given by a 3rd party to verify that the token is valid.
If the token is valid, get the Keycloak ID for that user.
How do I do this using plain old HTTP posts? I've found lots of Java examples but I need to know the raw HTTP POSTs and responses underneath.
Is it something like this to validate the token?
/auth/realms/<realm>/protocols/openid-connect/validate?access_token=accesstokenhere
What does this return in terms of data (sorry I currently have no test server to interrogate)?
Thanks.
The validate endpoint does not seem to work now. It used to return access token. I am using the keycloak 2.5.1 now. As mentioned in post by Matyas (and in the post referenced by him), had to use introspect token endpoint.
In my testing Bearer authentication did not work. Had to use Basic authentication header along with base64 encoded client credentials.
base64.encode("<client_id:client_secret>".getBytes("utf-8"))
The response from introspect endpoint is in JSON format as shared in post referenced by Maytas, has many fields based on type of token being introspected. In my case token_type_hint was set as access_token.
requestParams = "token_type_hint=access_token&token=" + accessToken
The response included required user details like username, roles and resource access. Also included OAuth mandated attributes like active, exp, iss etc. See rfc7662#page-6 for details.
Maybe you need this:
http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/keycloak-user/2016-April/005869.html
The only one problem is that, introspect is not working with public clients.
The key url is:
"http://$KC_SERVER/$KC_CONTEXT/realms/$REALM/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect"
You need to authorize your client e.g. with basic auth, and need to give the requester token to introspect:
curl -u "client_id:client_secret" -d "token=access_token_to_introspect" "http://$KC_SERVER/$KC_CONTEXT/realms/$REALM/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect"
I have a web application for iPhone, which will ultimately run within a PhoneGap application - but for now I'm running it in Safari.
The application needs to access tweets from Twitter friends, including private tweets. So I've implemented OAuth using the Scribe library. I successfully bounce users to Twitter, have them authenticate, then bounce back.
At this point the web app has oAuth credentials (key and token) which it persists locally. From here on I'd like it to user the Twitter statuses/user_timeline.json method to grab tweets for a particular user. I have the application using JSONP requests to do this with unprotected tweets successfully; when it accesses the timeline of a private Twitter feed, an HTTP basic authentication dialog appears in the app.
I believe that I need to provide the OAuth credentials to Twitter, so that my web application can identify and authenticate itself. Twitter recommends doing so through the addition of an HTTP Authorization header, but as I'm using JSONP for the request I don't think this is an option for me. Am I right in assuming this?
My options therefore appear to either be putting the oAuth credentials as query-string parameters (which Twitter recommends against, but documentation suggests still supports); or proxying all the Tweets through an intermediate server. I'd rather avoid the latter.
I access the Twitter API using URLs of the form
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?user_id=29191439&oauth_nonce=XXXXXXXXXXX&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1272323042&oauth_consumer_key=XXXXXXXXXX&oauth_signature=XXXXXXXXXX&oauth_version=1.0
When user_id is a public user, this works fine. When user_id is a private user, I get that HTTP Basic Auth dialog. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm hoping it's something embarrassingly simple like "forgetting an important parameter"...
The oAuth stanza needs to be exact, as per http://dev.twitter.com/pages/auth#auth-request - I ended up building an Authorization: header that I could first check with curl.
I built it using the really helpful interactive request checker at http://hueniverse.com/2008/10/beginners-guide-to-oauth-part-iv-signing-requests/
Here's a friends API request for a protected user:
curl -v -H 'Authorization: OAuth realm="https://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json", oauth_consumer_key="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", oauth_token="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", oauth_nonce="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", oauth_timestamp="1300728665", oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1", oauth_version="1.0", oauth_signature="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%3D"' https://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json?user_id=254723679
It's worth re-iterating that as you've tried to do, instead of setting the Authorization header via e.g. jquery's beforeSend function, that for cross-domain JSONP requests (which can't add HTTP headers) you can make oAuth requests by putting all the relevant key/value pairs in the GET request. This should hopefully help out various other questioners, e.g
Set Headers with jQuery.ajax and JSONP?
Modify HTTP Headers for a JSONP request
Using only JQuery to update Twitter (OAuth)
Your request looks like it has a couple of problems; it's missing the user's oauth_token plus the oauth_signature doesn't look like it has been base64 encoded (because it's missing a hex encoded = or ==, %3 or %3D%3D respectively).
Here's my GET equivalent using oAuth encoded querystring params, which you can use in a cross-domain JSONP call:
https://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json?user_id=254723679&realm=https://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json&oauth_consumer_key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&oauth_token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&oauth_nonce=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&oauth_timestamp=1300728665&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_version=1.0&oauth_signature=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%3D
I was struggling with similar problem of making JSONP requests from Jquery, the above answer helped just to add what I did to achieve my solution.
I am doing server to server oauth and then I send oauth token, secret, consumer key and secret (this is temporary solution by the time we put a proxy to protect consumer secret). You can replace this to token acquiring code at client.
Oauth.js and Sha1.js download link!
Once signature is generated.
Now there are 2 problems:
JSONP header cannot be edited
Signed arguments which needs to be sent as part of oauth have problem with callback=? (a regular way of using JSONP).
As above answer says 1 cannot be done.
Also, callback=? won't work as the parameter list has to be signed and while sending the request to remote server Jquery replace callback=? to some name like callback=Jquery1232453234. So a named handler has to be used.
function my_twitter_resp_handler(data){
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
}
and getJSON did not work with named function handler, so I used
var accessor = {
consumerSecret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,
tokenSecret : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
};
var message = { action: "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json",
method: "GET",
parameters: []
};
message.parameters.push(['realm', "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json"]);
message.parameters.push(['oauth_version', '1.0']);
message.parameters.push(['oauth_signature_method', 'HMAC-SHA1']);
message.parameters.push(['oauth_consumer_key', XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]);
message.parameters.push(['oauth_token', XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]);
message.parameters.push(['callback', 'my_twitter_resp_handler']);
OAuth.completeRequest(message, accessor);
var parameterMap = OAuth.getParameterMap(message.parameters);
Create url with base url and key value pairs from parameterMap
