OAuthRPMetadataProfile

Overview

This is a profile defining the expression of OIDC and OAuth client capabilities and characteristics in SAML 2.0 Metadata, which is the native and preferred metadata format supported by the Shibboleth IdP software.

The XML namespace for the additional content used in this profile is urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:oidc:1.0, the schema for which can be found at http://shibboleth.net/schema/oidc/saml-metadata-ext-oidcmd.xsd

In comparison to the existing (JSON) format, all the same configuration options are available. See the table at the end for mappings between the JSON claims and the SAML metadata.

An entity advertises support for the OIDC protocol via an <md:SPSSODescriptor> that has the following characteristics:

MUST include http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html in the protocolSupportEnumeration attribute
Contains one or more <md:AssertionConsumerService> elements that MUST have the following XML attributes:
- Binding attribute with a value of https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-3.1.2
- Location attribute with a URL of a single redirection endpoint

When needed, the trusted public keys and client secrets are configured via <md:KeyDescriptor> elements. In addition to the existing public key <ds:KeyInfo> children (<ds:X509Data> and <ds:KeyValue>), JSON Web Key sets are supported statically or via reference URI, using <oidcmd:JwksData> and <oidcmd:JwksUri> elements (see the table in the end of this page).

A <oidcmd:JwksData> element contains a base64-encoded JSON structure containing the set.

Client secrets can be configured statically in plaintext or via reference, using the <oidcmd:ClientSecret> and <oidcmd:ClientSecretKeyReference> elements.

Examples

An example representing an OIDC RP with client secret value in the metadata:

    </md:SPSSODescriptor>
</md:EntityDescriptor>

An example representing an OIDC RP with client secret value reference. The reference key (mockClientSecretKey) is exploited by client secret value resolvers, which are out of scope of this profile.

An example representing an OIDC RP with multiple public keys configured in the metadata. They're all taken into account and transformed into a JSON Web Key set, with ds:KeyName being used as a key identifier (kid).

Multiple values are supplied using a space-delimited list. NOTE: Since OP 3.2, use '+' sign to supply a response type value containing a space. For instance, the value "code code+id_token+token" in XML is translated into two OIDC response types: "code" and "code id_token token".

¹ The “audience” claim is not drawn from any standard, but an extension supported by Shibboleth to control/validate the “resource” parameter used in various OAuth protocol extensions, particularly in the client_credentials grant flow.

^v2.2 The support was added in net.shibboleth.oidc.common v2.2.0
