OPToken

This profile configuration was introduced in V3.1 of this plugin. In older releases, it was implicitly part of the OIDC.SSO profile configuration and was not a separate feature.

File(s): conf/relying-party.xml, conf/oidc.properties
Format: Native Spring, Spring Properties

Overview

The OAUTH2.Token profile configuration bean enables support for the OAUTH 2 Token endpoint, which implements the flow that supports OAuth token granting use cases, including OIDC-specific grant features in support of that particular use case.

In V3.1+ of the plugin, the behavior of the Authorization and Token endpoints has been optionally split into separate profile configurations, in order to support additional OAuth use cases specific to the token endpoint and to allow for more configuration flexibility. When this profile bean is absent, the presence of the OIDC.SSO profile configuration bean implies the OIDC-specific functionality of this endpoint is active with the settings configured on that bean. When present, it supersedes that behavior and directly configures all uses of the endpoint.

Configuration

The most typical options used are described in more detail below, but not every obscure option is discussed. See the javadoc for all of the possible configuration options for this profile (note that some of them are inherited from parent classes).

Virtually all the configuration options below can be set via two different properties: a static property that explicitly sets the value to use and a lookup strategy or predicate property that takes a Function or Predicate and returns the value to use. The dynamic property is generally named "propertyNamePredicate" or "propertyNameLookupStrategy" for Boolean- and non-Boolean-valued properties respectively.

The DPoP proof validation in the token endpoint is activated whenever any of the following conditions is true:

  • The incoming request contains a DPoP proof JWT

  • The use of DPoP proofs is required in the profile configuration (see requireDpopProof)

  • The RP metadata enforces the use of DPoP tokens (dpop_bound_access_tokens=true)

The valid DPoP proof means that the access token issued by this profile are DPoP tokens. This is signaled in the token type parameter in the response. The alwaysIssueBearerAccessToken option may be used to enforce the issuance of bearer access tokens. Public clients may want to solely bind the refresh tokens with the DPoP public key.

Options specific to generic or OAuth usage of the Token flow:

Name

Type

Default

Description

Name

Type

Default

Description

resolveAttributes

Boolean

true

Whether to resolve attributes during the token issuance process

grantTypes

Collection<String>

authorization_code, refresh_token

OAuth grant types to allow

accessTokenLifetime

Duration

PT10M

Lifetime of access token issued to client

If you customize this, make sure to set the revocation cache lifetime (See Replay and Revocation section later at this page) to at least this length of time. Also check refreshTokenTimeout and use whichever is longer.

refreshTokenLifetime

Duration

PT2H

Lifetime of refresh token issued to client (Deprecated since 3.4)

refreshTokenTimeout 3.4

Duration

PT2H

Lifetime of a single refresh token issued to client

If you customize this, make sure to set the revocation cache lifetime (See Replay and Revocation section later at this page) to at least this length of time. Also check accessTokenLifetime and use whichever is longer.

refreshTokenChainLifetime 3.4

Duration

PT2H

Lifetime of the chain of refresh tokens issued to client. The expiration instant is calculated by adding the lifetime to the end-user authentication instant.

forcePKCE

Boolean

false

Whether client is required to use PKCE

allowPKCEPlain

Boolean

false

Whether client is allowed to use PKCE code challenge method "plain"

accessTokenType 3.2

String

 

Format of access token. Supported values are “JWT” or nothing/empty/null, implying opaque tokens.

refreshTokenType 4.1

String

 

Format of refresh token. Supported values are “JWT” or nothing/empty/null, implying opaque tokens.

enforceRefreshTokenRotation 3.2

Boolean

false

Whether to enforce refresh token rotation. If enabled, the refresh token is revoked whenever it is used for issuing a new refresh token.

strictScopeValidation 4.2

Boolean

false

Whether to enable strict scope validation. If enabled, the request containing non-allowed (not registered for the registered clients or non-policy compliant for unregistered clients) scope values is considered as an error.

alwaysIssueBearerAccessToken 4.2

Boolean

false

Whether to issue bearer token even if the DPoP proof JWT was included in the request. With the public clients, this means that solely the refresh tokens will be bound to the DPoP proof’s public key.

accessTokenClaimsSetManipulationStrategy 3.2

BiFunction<
ProfileRequestContext,
Map<String,Object>,
Map<String,Object>
>

 

Manipulation strategy for customising access token claims set contents. The BiFunction inputs are the ProfileRequestContext and the current contents of the claims set as a Map<String,Object>.

If the result is non-null, the result (Map<String,Object) is used to replace the contents of the claims set. It is the deployer’s responsibility to ensure the results remain valid/appropriate.

customRedirectUriValidationStrategy 4.2

BiPredicate<

URI,

ProfileRequestContext

>

null

Custom validation strategy for the redirect_uri parameter. If a value is set, it overrides the default validation logic for both registered and unregistered clients.

The following properties can be used to globally adjust some of the settings above (some of them affect other profiles as well).

  • idp.oauth2.grantTypes

  • idp.oidc.accessToken.defaultLifetime

  • idp.oidc.refreshToken.defaultLifetime (deprecated since v3.4)

  • idp.oidc.refreshToken.defaultTimeout 3.4

  • idp.oidc.refreshToken.defaultChainLifetime 3.4

  • idp.oidc.forcePKCE

  • idp.oidc.allowPKCEPlain

  • idp.oauth2.enforceRefreshTokenRotation 3.2

  • idp.oauth2.accessToken.type 3.2

  • idp.oauth2.refreshToken.type 4.1

  • idp.oauth2.refreshToken.deserializers 4.1

  • idp.oauth2.refreshToken.serializationStrategies 4.1

  • idp.oidc.strictScopeValidation4.2

Replay and Revocation

Authorization codes are bearer tokens and have to be limited to a single use as a security measure. Reuse is monitored by storing reference values in the existing IdP replay cache that handles related SAML and CAS needs. It should be noted that the criticality of this cache to CAS and OIDC are generally much higher than for SAML (unless SAML artifacts are used), and the limitations of an in-memory cache that is not clustered across servers much more severe.

Reuse of an authorization code invalidates all tokens derived from it by tracking revoked codes. This is handled by another (obviously server-side) cache, the revocation cache.

Two properties are provided in conf/oidc.properties to control aspects of this process:

Since V3.2, via support for revoking single tokens instead of the whole chain (see OPRevocation | Configuration), an attempt to use a revoked refresh token causes the whole chain derived from the single revoked token to be revoked. The lifetime for this revocation record is then taken from OPRevocation | Configuration.
