Oauth

Introduction

OAuth is one of the multiple ways you can authenticate users to 3forge AMI. The 3forge AMI OAuth Plugin makes it easy to integrate AMI with any OAuth based identity manager. It provides a simple standard authentication mechanism and allows you to build access control into your 3forge AMI Layouts.

Go to Section 2 OAuth Quickstart to quickly get started with using the OAuthPlugin.

OAuth Quickstart

Quickstart Instructions

Prerequisites:

1. Find out your identity provider and ensure it allows for OAuth 2.0 Authentication. You will need to know the identity provider url.
2. Register a new Web App with your identity provider.
   1. Provide a Sign In Redirect Url, we recommend https://<your-server>:33332/oauthRedirectUrl
      1. This will be used in the oauth.redirect.url property
   2. Provide a Sign Out Redirect Url (Optional but recommended)

How to setup the OAuth Plugin

1. Navigate to your 3forge AMI config directory, it's typically located in ami\amione\config
2. Create a file called local.properties if one is not already present
3. Add the properties from Section 2.2 Minimal Configuration to the file local.properties
4. Update the values of the properties to match your identity provider.
5. Restart 3forge AMI

Minimal Configuration

Note: Please refer to Section 3 OAuth Full Properties List for a detailed understanding of each property

sso.plugin.class=com.f1.ami.web.AmiWebOAuthPluginImpl

# Provide the url to your OAuth 2.0 identity provider

oauth.server.domain=https://oauthprovider.com

# Provide the redirect url that you configured for the app with your identity provider

oauth.redirect.uri=http://localhost:33332/oauthRedirectUrl

# Provide the endpoints for authorization, token and refresh token

oauth.authorization.endpoint=/authorizeEndpoint

oauth.token.endpoint=/tokenEndpoint

oauth.refresh.token.endpoint=/refreshTokenEndpoint

# Provide the client id and secret that will be used for the OAuth authentication

oauth.client.id=clientid

oauth.client.secret=secret

# Replace this with the default scope that is used for Web Based Applications in your firm

oauth.scope=openid profile email offline_access

# Replace this with unique identifier that identifies the user

oauth.username.field=email

# Recommended to replace this with an attribute that identifies the group a user belongs to

oauth.ami.isdev.field=email

oauth.ami.isdev.values=<comma_delimited_list_of_emails>

# Logout Page AMI will display when logged out

web.logged.out.url=/loggedout.htm

# This is enabled for development, disable this after OAuth has been setup

oauth.debug=true

Creating your own AMI OAuth Plugin

The AMI OAuth plugin handles authorization code and access token requests that are needed for Authenticating to AMI. By extending the 3forge AMI OAuth plugin, you can create your own Ami OAuth Plugin if you have custom requirements for access control or entitlements.

There are three main components to the 3forge AMI OAuth Plugin: buildAuthRequest, processResponse, and createAmiUserSSOSession.

Main Components of the 3forge AMI OAuth Plugin

The buildAuthRequest method is responsible for creating the url for the Authorization Code request.

The processResponse method is responsible for processing the response from the Authorization Code request, then building an Access Token request. Once it obtains an access token, it needs to return an AmiAuthUser.

The createAmiUserSSOSession is responsible for creating the AmiAuthUser and OAuthSSO Session. The AmiAuthUser can be used to set user session variables or restrict access to layouts. The OAuth Session is accessible in AMIScript by session.getSsoSession().
