User Account and Authentication Service APIs

Table of Contents

Overview

The User Account and Authentication Service (UAA):

  • is a separate application from Cloud Foundry the Cloud Controller
  • owns the user accounts and authentication sources (SAML, LDAP, Keystone)
  • is invoked via JSON APIs
  • supports standard protocols to provide single sign-on and delegated authorization to web applications in addition to JSON APIs to support the Cloud Controller and team features of Cloud Foundry
  • supports APIs and a basic login/approval UI for web client apps
  • supports APIs for user account management for an external web UI (i.e. www.cloudfoundry.com)

Rather than trigger arguments about how RESTful these APIs are we'll just refer to them as JSON APIs. Most of them are defined by the specs for the OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and SCIM standards.

Scopes authorized by the UAA

The UAA itself is also performing authorization based on the scope claim in the JWT token for it's operation. Here is a summary of the different scopes that are known to the UAA.

  • zones.read - scope required to invoke the /identity-zones endpoint to read identity zones
  • zones.write - scope required to invoke the /identity-zones endpoint to create and update identity zones
  • idps.read - read only scopes to retrieve identity providers under /identity-providers
  • idps.write - create and update identity providers under /identity-providers
  • clients.admin - super user scope to create, modify and delete clients
  • clients.write - scope required to create and modify clients. The scopes are limited to be prefixed with the scope holder's client id. For example, id:testclient authorities:client.write may create a client that has scopes that have the 'testclient.' prefix. Authorities are limited to uaa.resource
  • clients.read - scope to read information about clients
  • clients.secret - /oauth/clients/*/secret endpoint. Scope required to change the password of a client. Considered an admin scope.
  • scim.write - Admin write access to all SCIM endpoints, /Users, /Groups/.
  • scim.read - Admin read access to all SCIM endpoints, /Users, /Groups/.
  • scim.create - Reduced scope to be able to create a user using POST /Users (get verification links GET /Users/{id}/verify-link or verify their account using GET /Users/{id}/verify) but not be able to modify, read or delete users.
  • scim.userids - /ids/Users - Required to convert a username+origin to a user ID and vice versa.
  • scim.zones - Limited scope that only allows adding/removing a user to/from zone management groups under the path /Groups/zones
  • scim.invite - Scope required by a client in order to participate in invitations using the /invite_users endpoint.
  • password.write - /User*/*/password endpoint. Admin scope to change a user's password.
  • oauth.approval - /approvals endpoint. Scope required to be able to approve/disapprove clients to act on a user's behalf. This is a default scope defined in uaa.yml.
  • oauth.login - Scope used to indicate a login application, such as external login servers, to perform trusted operations, such as create users not authenticated in the UAA.
  • approvals.me - not currently used
  • openid - Required to access the /userinfo endpoint. Intended for OpenID clients.
  • groups.update - Allows a group to be updated. Can also be accomplished with scim.write
  • uaa.user - scope to indicate this is a user, also required in the token if using API Authorization Requests Code: ``GET /oauth/authorize` (non standard /oauth/authorize)`_
  • uaa.resource - scope to indicate this is a resource server, used for the /check_token endpoint
  • uaa.admin - scope to indicate this is the super user
  • uaa.none - scope to indicate that this client will not be performing actions on behalf of a user

Zone Management Scopes

  • zones.<zone id>.admin - scope that permits operations in a designated zone by authenticating against the default zone, such as create identity providers or clients in another zone (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.read - scope that permits reading the given identity zone (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.clients.admin - translates into clients.admin after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.clients.read - translates into clients.read after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.clients.write - translates into clients.write after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.scim.read - translates into scim.read after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.scim.create - translates into scim.create after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.scim.write - translates into scim.write after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)
  • zones.<zone id>.idps.read - translates into idps.read after zone switch is complete (used together with the X-Identity-Zone-Id header)

A Note on Filtering

In several of the API calls, especially around the SCIM endpoints, /Users and /Groups there is an option to specify filters. These filters are implemented in accordance with a SCIM specification [on resource queries](http://www.simplecloud.info/specs/draft-scim-api-01.html#query-resources).

Filtering supports

Attribute operators

  • eq - equalsIgnoreCase
  • co - contains - in SQL becomes 'like %value%', case insensitive
  • sw - starts with - in SQL becomes 'like value%', case insensitive
  • pr - present - in SQL becomes 'IS NOT NULL'
  • gt - greater than - >
  • ge - greater or equal than - >=
  • lt - less than - <
  • le - less or equals than - <=

Logical operators

  • and - logical and
  • or - logical or

Grouping operators

  • Group expressions in parenthesis ( expression ) to set precedence for operators

There are four different data types

  • string literals - values must always be enclosed in double quotes ", and double quotes must be JSON escaped (with a slash \)
  • date times - values must always be enclosed in double quotes, format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'
  • boolean - values must be either true or false and not enclosed in quotes
  • numerical - values are not enclosed in quotes, and can contain numbers and a dot for decimal delimitation

For complete information on filters and pagination, please review the [specification](http://www.simplecloud.info/specs/draft-scim-api-01.html#query-resources)

User column names

The following column names can be used for querying a user

  • id - string, UUID of the user
  • username - string
  • email or emails.value - string
  • givenname - string
  • familyname - string
  • active - boolean
  • phonenumber - string
  • verified - boolean
  • origin - string
  • external_id - string
  • created or meta.created - date
  • lastmodified or meta.lastmodified - date
  • version or meta.version - number

The following column names can be used for querying a group

  • id - string, UUID of the group
  • displayname - string
  • created or meta.created - date
  • lastmodified or meta.lastmodified - date
  • version or meta.version - number

Configuration Options

Several modes of operation and other optional features can be set in configuration files. Settings for a handful of standard scenarios can be externalized and switched using environment variables or system properties.

  • Internal username/password authentication source

    The UAA manages a user account database. These accounts can be used for password based authentication similar to existing Cloud Foundry user accounts. The UAA accounts can be configured with password policy such as length, accepted/required character types, expiration times, reset policy, etc.

  • Other Authentication sources

    • LDAP - LDAP is currently supported for user authentication and group integration
    • SAML - SAML is currently supported for user authentication and group integration. Limitation is that the username returned from the SAML assertion should be an email address
    • Keystone - Keystone authentication is experimental and disabled in the Travis CI tests

OAuth2 Token Endpoint: POST /oauth/token

An OAuth2 defined endpoint which accepts authorization code or refresh tokens and provides access_tokens, in the case of authorization code grant. This endpoint also supports client credentials and password grant, which takes the client id and client secret for the former, in addition to username and password in case of the latter. The access_tokens can then be used to gain access to resources within a resource server. We support all standard OAuth2 grant types, documented in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749

  • Request: POST /oauth/token
Request POST /oauth/token
Authorization Basic authentication, client ID and client secret (or client_id and client_secret can be provided as url encoded form parameters)
Request Body

the authorization code (form encoded) in the case of authorization code grant, e.g.:

grant_type=authorization_code
code=F45jH
response_type=token
redirect_uri=http://example-app.com/welcome

OR the client credentials (form encoded) in the case of client credentials grant, e.g.:

grant_type=client_credentials
client_id=client
client_secret=clientsecret
response_type=token

OR the client and user credentials (form encoded) in the case of password grant, e.g.:

grant_type=password
client_id=client
client_secret=clientsecret
username=user
password=pass
response_type=token
Response Codes 200 OK
Response Body 
{
  "access_token":"2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA",
  "token_type":"bearer",
  "expires_in":3600
}

Support for additional authorization attributes

Additional user defined claims can be added to the token by sending them in the token request. The format of the request is as follows:

authorities={"additionalAuthorizationAttributes":{"external_group":"domain\\group1","external_id":"abcd1234"}}

A sample password grant request is as follows:

POST /uaa/oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Basic YXBwOmFwcGNsaWVudHNlY3JldA==
"grant_type=password&username=marissa&password=koala&authorities=%7B%22additionalAuthorizationAttributes%22%3A%7B%22external_group%22%3A%22domain%5C%5Cgroup1%22%2C%20%22external_id%22%3A%22abcd1234%22%7D%7D%0A"

The access token will contain an az_attr claim like:

"az_attr":{"external_group":"domain\\group1","external_id":"abcd1234"}}

These attributes can be requested in an authorization code flow as well.

Authentication and Delegated Authorization APIs

This section deals with machine interactions, not with browsers, although some of them may have browsable content for authenticated users. All machine requests have accept headers indicating JSON (or a derived media type perhaps).

The /userinfo and /oauth/token endpoints are specified in the OpenID Connect and OAuth2 standards and should be used by web applications on a cloud foundry instance.

A Note on OAuth Scope

The OAuth2 spec includes a scope parameter as part of the token granting request which contains a set of scope values. The spec leaves the business content of the scope up to the participants in the protocol - i.e. the scope values are completely arbitrary and can in principle be chosen by any Resource Server using the tokens. Clients of the Resource Server have to ask for a valid scope to get a token, but the Authorization Server itself attaches no meaning to the scope - it just passes the value through to the Resource Server. The UAA implementation of the Authorization Server has a couple of extra scope-related features (by virtue of being implemented in Spring Security where the features originate).

  1. There is an optional step in client registration, where a client declares which scopes it will ask for, or alternatively where the Authorization Server can limit the scopes it can ask for. The Authorization Server can then check that token requests contain a valid scope (i.e. one of the set provided on registration).
  2. The Resource Servers can each have a unique ID (e.g. a URI). And another optional part of a client registration is to provide a set of allowed resource ids for the client in question. The Authorization Server binds the allowed resource ids to the token and then provides the information via the /check_token endpoint (in the aud claim), so that a Resource Server can check that its own ID is on the allowed list for the token before serving a resource.

Resource IDs have some of the character of a scope, except that the clients themselves don't need to know about them - it is information exchanged between the Authorization and Resource Servers. The examples in this document use a scope parameter that indicates a resource server, e.g. a Cloud Controller instance. This is a suggested usage, but whether it is adopted by the real Cloud Controller is not crucial to the system. Similarly any Resource Server that wants to can check the allowed resource IDs if there are any, but it is not mandatory to do so.

Authorization Code Grant

This is a completely vanilla as per the OAuth2 spec, but we give a brief outline here for information purposes.

Browser Requests Code: GET /oauth/authorize

HTML Responses

  • Request: GET /oauth/authorize

  • Request Body: some parameters specified by the spec, appended to the query component using the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format,

    • response_type=code
    • client_id=www
    • scope=read write password
    • redirect_uri is optional if a redirect_uri has already been pre-registered for the client www

  • Request Header:

    • Cookie: JSESSIONID=ADHGFKHDSJGFGF; Path / - the authentication cookie for the client with UAA. If there is no cookie user's browser is redirected to /login, and will eventually come back to /oauth/authorize.

  • Response Header: location as defined in the spec includes access_token if successful:

    HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://www.cloudfoundry.example.com?code=F45jH
Set-Cookie: X-Uaa-Csrf=abcdef; Expires=Thu, 04-Aug-2016 18:10:38 GMT; HttpOnly

  • Response Codes:

    302 - Found

Sample uaac command for this flow

  • uaac -t token authcode get -c app -s appclientsecret

Sample curl commands for this flow

  • curl -v "http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=app&scope=password.write&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v http://localhost:8080/uaa/login.do -H "Referer: http://login.cloudfoundry.example.com/login" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "username=marissa&password=koala&X-Uaa-Csrf=abcdef" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v "http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=app&scope=password.write&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize -d "scope.0=scope.password.write&user_oauth_approval=true" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt

Non-Browser Requests Code: GET /oauth/authorize

JSON Responses

If the client asks for a JSON response (with an Accept header), and the user has not approved the grant yet, the UAA sends a JSON object with some useful information that can be rendered for a user to read and explicitly approve the grant:

{
  "message":"To confirm or deny access POST to the following locations with the parameters requested.",
  "scopes":[
    {"text":"Access your data with scope 'openid'","code":"scope.openid"},
    {"text":"Access your 'cloud_controller' resources with scope 'read'","code":"scope.cloud_controller.read"},
    ...],
  ...,
  "client_id":"idtestapp",
  "redirect_uri":"http://nowhere.com",
  "options":{
    "deny":{"location":"https://uaa.cloudfoundry.com/oauth/authorize","value":"false","path":"/oauth/authorize","key":"user_oauth_approval"},
    "confirm":{"location":"https://uaa.cloudfoundry.com/oauth/authorize","value":"true","path":"/oauth/authorize","key":"user_oauth_approval"}
  }
}

The most useful information for constructing a user approval page is the list of requested scopes, the client id and the requested redirect URI.

Sample curl commands for this flow

  • curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" "http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=app&scope=password.write&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" http://localhost:8080/uaa/login.do -H "Referer: http://login.cloudfoundry.example.com/login" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "username=marissa&password=koala&X-Uaa-Csrf=abcdef" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" "http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=app&scope=password.write&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcallback" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt
  • curl -v -H "Accept:application/json" http://localhost:8080/uaa/oauth/authorize -d "scope.0=scope.password.write&user_oauth_approval=true" --cookie cookies.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt

API Authorization Requests Code: GET /oauth/authorize (non standard /oauth/authorize)

  • Request: GET /oauth/authorize

  • Request Parameters:

    • client_id=some_valid_client_id
    • scope=
    • response_type=code
    • redirect_uri - optional if the client has a redirect URI already registered.

  • Response Codes:

    302 - Found

Notes about this API

  • The client must have autoapprove=true, or you will not get a code back
  • If the client doesn't have a redirect_uri registered, it is an required parameter of the request
  • The token must have scope "uaa.user" in order for this request to succeed

Sample curl commands for this flow

Client Obtains Token: POST /oauth/token

See oauth2 token endpoint below for a more detailed description.

Request POST /oauth/token
Authorization Basic authentication, client ID and client secret (or client_id and client_secret can be provided as url encoded form parameters)
Request Body

the authorization code (form encoded), e.g.:

[client_id=client]
[client_secret=clientsecret]
grant_type=authorization_code
code=F45jH
response_type=token
Response Codes 200 OK
Response Body 
{
  "access_token":"2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA",
  "token_type":"bearer",
  "expires_in":3600
}

Implicit Grant with Credentials: POST /oauth/authorize

An OAuth2 defined endpoint to provide various tokens and authorization codes. An implicit grant is similar to an authorization code grant, but doesn't require a client secret.

For the cf flows, we use the OAuth2 Implicit grant type (to avoid a second round trip to /oauth/token and so cf does not need to securely store a client secret or user refresh tokens). The authentication method for the user is undefined by OAuth2 but a POST to this endpoint is acceptable, although a GET must also be supported (see OAuth2 section 3.1).

Effectively this means that the endpoint is used to authenticate and obtain an access token in the same request. Note the correspondence with the UI endpoints (this is similar to the /login endpoint with a different representation).

Note

A GET mothod is used in the relevant section of the spec that talks about the implicit grant, but a POST is explicitly allowed in the section on the /oauth/authorize endpoint (see OAuth2 section 3.1).

All requests to this endpoint MUST be over SSL.

  • Request: POST /oauth/authorize

  • Request query component: some parameters specified by the spec, appended to the query component using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format,

    • response_type=token
    • client_id=cf
    • scope=read write
    • redirect_uri - optional because it can be pre-registered, but a dummy is still needed where cf is concerned (it doesn't redirect) and must be pre-registered, see Client Registration Administration APIs.

  • Request body: contains the required information in JSON as returned from the login information API, e.g. username/password for internal authentication, or for LDAP, and others as needed for other authentication types. For example:

    credentials={"username":"dale","password":"secret"}

  • Response Header: location as defined in the spec includes access_token if successful:

    HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: oauth:redirecturi#access_token=2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA&token_type=bearer

  • Response Codes:

    302 - Found

Implicit Grant for Browsers: GET /oauth/authorize

This works similarly to the previous section, but does not require the credentials to be POSTed as is needed for browser flows.

  1. The browser redirects to the /oauth/authorize endpoint with parameters in the query component as per the previous section.
  2. The UAA presents the UI to authenticate the user and approve the scopes.
  3. If the user authorizes the scopes for the requesting client, the UAA will redirect the browser to the redirect_uri provided (and pre-registered) by the client.
  4. Since the reply parameters are encoded in the location fragment, the client application must get the access token in the reply fragment from user's browser -- typically by returning a page to the browser with some javascript which will post the access token to the client app.

Password Grant with Client and User Credentials: POST /oauth/token

Request POST /oauth/token
Authorization Basic authentication, client ID and client secret (or client_id and client_secret can be provided as url encoded form parameters)
Request Body

the username and password (form encoded), e.g.

[client_id=client]
[client_secret=clientsecret]
grant_type=password
username=user
password=pass
response_type=token
Response Codes 200 OK
Response Body 
{
  "access_token":"2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA",
  "token_type":"bearer",
  "expires_in":3600
}
  • Request: POST /oauth/token
  • Authorization: Basic auth with client_id and client_secret
    (optionally client_id and client_secret can instead be provided as url encoded form parameters)
  • Request query component: some parameters specified by the spec, appended to the query component using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format,
    • grant_type=password
    • response_type=token
    • client_id=cf
    • client_secret=cfsecret
    • username=marissa
    • password=koala
    • scope=read write - optional. Omit to receive the all claims.
    • redirect_uri - optional because it can be pre-registered, but a dummy is still needed where cf is concerned (it doesn't redirect) and must be pre-registered, see Client Registration Administration APIs.

Trusted Authentication from Login Server

Note: This is not the standard way of creating a user in the UAA. Please refer to the SCIM API endpoint at /Users. In addition to the normal authentication of the /authenticate and /oauth/authorize endpoints described above (cookie-based for browser app and special case for cf) the UAA offers a special channel whereby a trusted client app can authenticate itself and then use the /oauth/authorize or /authenticate endpoint by providing minimal information about the user account (but not the password). This channel is provided so that authentication can be abstracted into a separate "Login" server. The default client id for the trusted app is login, and this client is registered in the default profile (but not in any other):

id: login,
secret: loginsecret,
scope: uaa.none,oauth.approvals
authorized_grant_types: client_credentials,
authorities: oauth.login

To authenticate the /oauth/authorize or /authenticate endpoint using this channel the Login Server has to provide a standard OAuth2 bearer token header _and_ some additional parameters to identify the user: source=login is mandatory, as is username and origin, plus optionally [email, given_name, family_name]. The UAA will lookup the user in its internal database and if it is found the request is authenticated. The UAA can be configured to automatically register authenicated users that are missing from its database, but this will only work if all the fields are provided. The response from the UAA (if the Login Server asks for JSON content) has enough information to get approval from the user and pass the response back to the UAA.

Using this trusted channel a Login Server can obtain create a user or perform an Oauth authorization (or tokens directly in the implicit grant) from the UAA, and also have complete control over authentication of the user, and the UI for logging in and approving token grants.

An authorization code grant has two steps (as normal), but instead of a UI response the UAA sends JSON:

Create a user using trusted authenticate channel: /authenticate Request

This endpoint lets the login client to retrieve a user_id during an external authentication sequence. So that the Authentication object in memory can always have a user_id available in the principal. This endpoint is used when you authenticate a user with another provider not known to the UAA. This will create a shadow account in the UAA representing that user. The user can then be associated with groups so that token's can be generated on the user's behalf.

  • Request: POST /authenticate

  • Request query component: some parameters specified by the spec, appended to the query component using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format,

    • source=login - mandatory
    • username - the user whom the client is acting on behalf of (the authenticated user in the Login Server)
    • origin - the origin whom the user is authenticated through (the authenticated user in the Login Server)
    • email - the email of the user, optional
    • add_new - set to true to create a user that doesn't exist

  • Request header:

    Accept: application/json Authorization: Bearer <login-client-bearer-token-obtained-from-uaa>

  • Request body: empty (or form encoded parameters as above)

  • Response header will include a cookie. This needs to be sent back in the second step (if required) so that the UAA can retrive the state from this request.

  • Response body if successful, and user approval is required (example):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
    "username":"YbSgOG",
    "origin":"zkV8lR",
    "user_id":"723def1b-4209-4e2a-99a0-1ac8c6fbb18c"
}

    the response body contains information about the user that is required for the login server to have access too.

  • Response Codes:

    200 - OK
401 - UNAUTHORIZED (if the token is invalid or user did not exist and add_new was false)

Authorization Step 1: Initial Authorization Request

  • Request: POST /oauth/authorize

  • Request query component: some parameters specified by the spec, appended to the query component using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format,

    • response_type=code
    • client_id - a registered client id
    • redirect_uri - a redirect URI registered with the client
    • state - recommended (a random string that the client app can correlate with the current user session)
    • source=login - mandatory
    • username - the user whom the client is acting on behalf of (the authenticated user in the Login Server)
    • origin - the origin whom the user is authenticated through (the authenticated user in the Login Server)
    • email - the email of the user, optional
    • given_name - the given (first) name of the user, optional
    • family_name - the family (last) name of the user, optional

  • Request header:

    Accept: application/json Authorization: Bearer <login-client-bearer-token-obtained-from-uaa>

  • Request body: empty (or form encoded parameters as above)

  • Response header will include a cookie. This needs to be sent back in the second step (if required) so that the UAA can retrive the state from this request.

  • Response body if successful, and user approval is required (example):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
{
  "message":"To confirm or deny access POST to the following locations with the parameters requested.",
  "scopes":[
     {"text":"Access your data with scope 'openid'","code":"scope.openid"},
     {"text":"Access your 'password' resources with scope 'write'","code":"scope.password.write"},
     ...
  ],
  "auth_request":{...}, // The authorization request
  "client": {
     "scope":[...],
     "client_id":"app",
     "authorized_grant_types":["authorization_code"],
     "authorities":[...]
  },
  "redirect_uri": "http://app.cloudfoundry.com",
  "options":{
      "deny":{"value":"false","key":"user_oauth_approval",...},
      "confirm":{"value":"true","key":"user_oauth_approval",...}
  }
}

    the response body contains useful information for rendering to a user for approval, e.g. each scope that was requested (prepended with "scope." to facilitate i18n lookups) including a default message text in English describing it.

  • Response Codes:

    200 - OK
403 - FORBIDDEN (if the user has denied approval)
302 - FOUND (if the grant is already approved)

Authorization Step 2: User Approves Grant

Just a normal POST with approval parameters to /oauth/authorize, including the cookie requested in Step 1 (just like a browser would do). For example:

POST /oauth/authorize
Cookie: JSESSIONID=fkserygfkseyrgfv

user_oauth_approval=true

Response:

302 FOUND
Location: https://app.cloudfoundry.com?code=jhkgh&state=kjhdafg

OAuth2 Token Validation Service: POST /check_token

An endpoint that allows a resource server such as the cloud controller to validate an access token. Interactions between the resource server and the authorization provider are not specified in OAuth2, so we are adding this endpoint. The request should be over SSL and use basic auth with the shared secret between the UAA and the resource server (which is stored as a client app registration). The POST body should be the access token and the response includes the userID, user_name and scope of the token in json format. The client (not the user) is authenticated via basic auth for this call.

OAuth2 access tokens are opaque to clients, but can be decoded by resource servers to obtain all needed information such as userID, scope(s), lifetime, user attributes. If the token is encrypted witha shared sceret between the UAA are resource server it can be decoded without contacting the UAA. However, it may be useful -- at least during development -- for the UAA to specify a short, opaque token and then provide a way for the resource server to return it to the UAA to validate and open. That is what this endpoint does. It does not return general user account information like the /userinfo endpoint, it is specifically to validate and return the information represented by access token that the user presented to the resource server.

This endpoint mirrors the OpenID Connect /check_id endpoint, so not very RESTful, but we want to make it look and feel like the others. The endpoint is not part of any spec, but it is a useful tool to have for anyone implementing an OAuth2 Resource Server.

  • Request: uses basic authorization with base64(resource_server:shared_secret) assuming the caller (a resource server) is actually also a registered client and has uaa.resource authority:

    POST /check_token HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiL

  • Successful Response:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

    "user_name":"marissa",
    "client_id":"cf"
}

Checking for scopes: The caller can specify a list of scopes in the request in order to validate that the token has those scopes.

Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

    HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "error":"invalid_scope",
    "error_description":"Some requested scopes are missing: disallowed_scope"
}

Notes:

  • The user_name is the same as you get from the OpenID Connect /userinfo endpoint. The user_id field is the same as you would use to get the full user profile from /Users.

  • Many of the fields in the response are a courtesy, allowing the caller to avoid further round trip queries to pick up the same information (e.g. via the /Users endpoint).

  • The aud claim is the resource ids that are the audience for the token. A Resource Server should check that it is on this list or else reject the token.

  • The client_id data represent the client that the token was granted for, not the caller. The value can be used by the caller, for example, to verify that the client has been granted permission to access a resource.

Identity Zone Management APIs

The UAA supports multi tenancy. This is referred to as identity zones. An identity zones is accessed through a unique subdomain. If the standard UAA responds to https://uaa.10.244.0.34.xip.io a zone on this UAA would be accessed through https://testzone1.uaa.10.244.0.34.xip.io

A zone contains a unique identifier as well as a unique subdomain:

{
    "id":"testzone1",
    "subdomain":"testzone1",
    "name":"The Twiglet Zone[testzone1]",
    "version":0,
    "description":"Like the Twilight Zone but tastier[testzone1].",
    "created":1426258488910,
    "last_modified":1426258488910
}

The subdomain field will be converted into lowercase upon creation or update of an identity zone. This way the UAA has an easy way to query the database for a zone based on a hostname. The UAA by default creates a default zone. This zone will always be present, the ID will always be 'uaa', and the subdomain is blank:

{
    "id": "uaa",
    "subdomain": "",
    "name": "uaa",
    "version": 0,
    "description": "The system zone for backwards compatibility",
    "created": 946710000000,
    "last_modified": 946710000000
}

Create or Update Identity Zones: POST or PUT /identity-zones

An identity zone is created using a POST with an IdentityZone object. If the object contains an id, this id will be used as the identifier, otherwise an identifier will be generated. Once a zone has been created, the UAA will start accepting requests on the subdomain defined in the subdomain field of the identity zone. When an Identity Zone is created, an internal Identity Provider is automatically created with the default password policy.

POST and PUT requires the zones.write or zones.<zone id>.admin scope.

Request POST /identity-zones or PUT /identity-zones/{id}
Request Header Authorization: Bearer Token containing zones.write or zones.<zone id>.admin

Sequential example of creating a zone and creating an admin client in that zone

Example:

uaac target http://localhost:8080/uaa

uaac token client get admin -s adminsecret

uaac client update admin --authorities "uaa.admin,clients.read,clients.write,clients.secret,scim.read,scim.write,clients.admin,zones.testzone1.admin,zones.write"

uaac token client get admin -s adminsecret

uaac -t curl -XPOST -H"Content-Type:application/json" -H"Accept:application/json" --data '{ "id":"testzone1", "subdomain":"testzone1", "name":"The Twiglet Zone[testzone1]", "version":0, "description":"Like the Twilight Zone but tastier[testzone1]."}' /identity-zones

POST (Token contains zones.write scope) ::

curl -v -H"Authorization:Bearer $TOKEN" -XDELETE http://localhost:8080/uaa/identity-zones/testzone1/clients/limited-client

To create an arbitrary client in an Identity Zone, you must have the scope of zones.<zone id>.admin. See create_zone_administrator to assign that scope to a user, then as that user, use the /oauth/clients endpoints, being sure to include the X-Identity-Zone-Id: <zone-id> header.

Identity Provider API: /identity-providers

Within an identity zone you can have one or more identity providers. Identity providers are authentication sources for a user. Each identity zone will have a default identity provider named uaa, with a type uaa and originKey='uaa'. This is the internal user database for each zone and is represented by the SCIM schema for users.

The UAA supports two additional types of identity providers, SAML and LDAP, and these providers can be created for a given zone. Adding providers can be done by users that are Zone Administrators. These users are users in the UAA (default) zone, that have the scope zones.{zone id}.admin. You can also create clients or users in the zone itself with the scopes idps.read and idps.write to perform these operations.

Identity providers of type uaa are created with a default password policy. Password policies are JSON objects and can be updated by putting a new password policy object in the config field and doing an HTTP PUT. An example password policy can be found below.

Steps to create a zone administrator

A zone administrator has the scope zones.{zone id}.admin scope. In this example, we'll go ahead and use the cf-uaac Ruby Gem to simplify the commands a little bit.

  • Install the uaac gem

    gem install cf-uaac

  • Target the UAA and get a token for the identity client

    uaac target http://localhost:8080/uaa
uaac token client get identity -s identitysecret

  • Create the testzone1 zone

    uaac curl -d '{"identity_zone":{"id":"testzone1","subdomain":"testzone1","name":"The Twiglet Zone[testzone1]","version":0,"description":"Like the Twilight Zone but tastier[testzone1].","created":1424995153031,"last_modified":1424995153031},"client_details":null}' -H"Accept:application/json" -H"Content-Type:application/json" -XPOST /identity-zone

  • We need a User ID in order to make a zone admin. We'll use test user marissa

    uaac token client get admin -s adminsecret
user_id=uaac users -a id 'username eq "marissa"' |grep id |awk '{print $2}' && echo $user_id
echo $User_id

  • Get the identity token again and add zones.testzone1.admin to marissa

    uaac token client get identity -s identitysecret
uaac curl -d '{"schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"],"displayName":"zones.testzone1.admin","members":[{"origin":"uaa","type":"USER","value":"'$user_id'"}],"meta":{"version":0,"created":"2015-02-26T16:59:13.614Z"}}' -H"Accept:application/json" -H"Content-Type:application/json" -XPOST /Groups/zones

  • Retrieve the zone administrator token (log in with marissa/koala)

    uaac token authcode get -c identity -s identitysecret
uaac token decode

You will be able to see all tokens used by these steps in the ~/.uaac.yml file.

Validating an Identity Provider

Similar to how /identity-providers lets you create and update identity provider, an endpoint has been provided to test your configuration prior to creating the provider. This test is performed in memory and all objects used to perform it are destroyed after the test has been completed.

The request is very similar to that of creating a provider, with the exception that you are also passing up username and password. Note: This only works for LDAP providers at the moment

Request POST /identity-providers/test
Header X-Identity-Zone-Id (if using zones.<id>.admin scope against default UAA zone)
Scopes Required zones.<zone id>.admin or idps.read and idps.write
Request body

example (a provider contains the fields defined above)

{
    "provider":{
        "originKey":"ldap",
        "name":"Test ldap provider",
        "type":"ldap",
        "config":"{\"baseUrl\":\"ldap://localhost:33389\",\"bindUserDn\":\"cn=admin,ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com\",\"bindPassword\":\"adminsecret\",\"userSearchBase\":\"dc=test,dc=com\",\"userSearchFilter\":\"cn={0}\",\"groupSearchBase\":\"ou=scopes,dc=test,dc=com\",\"groupSearchFilter\":\"member={0}\",\"mailAttributeName\":\"mail\",\"mailSubstitute\":null,\"ldapProfileFile\":\"ldap/ldap-search-and-bind.xml\",\"ldapGroupFile\":\"ldap/ldap-groups-map-to-scopes.xml\",\"mailSubstituteOverridesLdap\":false,\"autoAddGroups\":true,\"groupSearchSubTree\":true,\"maxGroupSearchDepth\":10}",

Deleting an Identity Provider

Deleting an identity provider does a hard delete. The identity provider and all related records will be deleted.

Request DELETE /identity-providers/<identity provider id>
Header X-Identity-Zone-Id (if using zones.<id>.admin scope against default UAA zone)
Scopes Required zones.<zone id>.admin or idps.write
Response body

example (a provider contains the fields defined above)

{
    "provider":{
        "originKey":"ldap",
        "name":"Test ldap provider",
        "type":"ldap",

        "active":true,
        "identityZoneId":"testzone1"
    }
}
  • Response

Codes

200 - Ok - Successful authentication

User Account Management APIs

UAA supports the SCIM standard for these APIs and endpoints. These endpoints are themselves secured by OAuth2, and access decision is done based on the 'scope' and 'aud' fields of the JWT OAuth2 token.

Create a User: POST /Users

See SCIM - Creating Resources

New users are automatically verified by default. Unverified users can be created by specifying their verified: false property in the request body of the POST to /Users, as shown in the example below. Unverified users must then go through the verification process. Obtaining a verification link (to send to the user) is outlined in the section Verify User Links: GET /Users/{id}/verify-link. Users may then use this link to complete the verification process, at which point they'll be able to login.

Request POST /Users
Header Authorization Bearer token
Scopes Required scim.write or scim.create
Request body

example

{
    "externalId":"",
    "userName":"JOE_tpcqlm",
    "name": {
        "formatted":"Joe User",
        "familyName":"User",
        "givenName":"Joe"
    },
    "emails":[{"value":"[email protected]"}],
    "active":true,
    "verified":false,
    "origin":"uaa",
    "schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"]}


The ``userName`` / ``origin`` combination is unique in the UAA, but is allowed to change.  Each user also has a fixed primary key which is a UUID (stored in the ``id`` field of the core schema).

Query for Information: GET /Users

See SCIM - List/Query Resources

Get information about a user. This is needed by to convert names and email addresses to immutable ids, and immutable ids to display names. The implementation provides the core schema from the specification, but not all attributes are handled in the back end at present (e.g. only one email address per account).

Filters: note that, per the specification, attribute values are comma separated and the filter expressions can be combined with boolean keywords ("or" and "and").

  • Request: GET /Users?attributes={requestedAttributes}&filter={filter}

  • Request Headers: Authorization header containing an OAuth2 bearer token with:

    scope = scim.read
aud = scim

  • Response Body (for GET /Users?attributes=id&filter=emails.value eq '[email protected]'):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "totalResults":1,
  "schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"],
  "resources":[
    {
      "id":"123456"
    }
  ]
}

Query for the existence of a specific username.

  • Response Body (for GET /Users?attributes=userName&filter=userName eq 'bjensen'):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-Type: application/json

    {
      "resources": [
        {
          "userName": "bjensen"
        }
      ],
      "startIndex": 1,
      "itemsPerPage": 100,
      "totalResults": 1,
      "schemas":["urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"]
}

  • Response Codes:

    200 - Success
400 - Bad Request
401 - Unauthorized

Delete a User: DELETE /Users/{id}

See SCIM - Deleting Resources.

  • Request: DELETE /Users/{id}

  • Request Headers:

    • Authorization header containing an OAuth2 bearer token with:

      scope = scim.write
aud = scim

    • If-Match the ETag (version id) for the value to delete

  • Request Body: Empty

  • Response Body: Empty

  • Response Codes:

    200 - Success
401 - Unauthorized
404 - Not found

Deleting accounts is handled in the back end logically using the active flag, so to see a list of deleted users you can filter on that attribute (filters by default have it set to true), e.g.

  • Request: GET /Users?attributes=id,userName&filter=userName co 'bjensen' and active eq false
  • Response Body: list of users matching the filter

Converting UserIds to Names

There is a SCIM-like endpoint for converting usernames to names, with the same filter and attribute syntax as /Users. It must be supplied with a filter parameter. It is a special purpose endpoint for use as a user id/name translation api, and is should be disabled in production sites by setting scim.userids_enabled=false in the UAA configuration. It will be used by cf so it has to be quite restricted in function (i.e. it's not a general purpose groups or users endpoint). Otherwise the API is the same as /Users. This endpoint has a few restrictions, the only two fields that are allowed for filtering are id and userName and the only valid filter operator is the eq operator. Wildcard searches such as sw or co are not allowed. This endpoint requires the scope scim.userids to be present in the token.

  • Request: GET /ids/Users

  • Response Body: list of users matching the filter

    {
    "itemsPerPage": 100,
    "resources": [
        {
            "id": "309cc3b7-ec9a-4180-9ba1-5d73f12e97ea",

        }
    ],
    "schemas": [
        "urn:scim:schemas:core:1.0"
    ],
    "startIndex": 1,
    "totalResults": 1
}

Query the strength of a password: POST /password/score

ENDPOINT DEPRECATED - Will always return score:0 and requiredScore:0

  • Request: POST /password/score

    POST /password/score HTTP/1.1 Host: uaa.example.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-encoded

    password=password1&userData=jane,janesdogsname,janescity

  • Response

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json X-Cf-Warnings: Endpoint+deprecated

    {"score": 0, "requiredScore": 0}

Inviting Users

The UAA supports the notion of inviting users. When a user is invited by providing an email address, the system will locate the appropriate authentication provider and create the user account. The invitation endpoint then returns the corresponding user_id and inviteLink. Batch processing is allowed by specifying more than one email address. The endpoint takes two parameters, a client_id (optional) and a redirect_uri. When a user accepts the invitation, the user will be redirected to the redirect_uri. The redirect_uri will be validated against allowed redirect_uri for the client.

  • Request: POST /invite_users

    client_id=<some_client>&redirect_uri=http://redirect.here.after.accept

{
    "emails": [
        {
            "[email protected]",
            "[email protected]",
            "[email protected]"
        }
    ]
}

  • Response Body: list of users matching the filter

    {
    "new_invites":[
        {"email":"[email protected]","userId":"38de0ac4-b194-4e33-b6c2-0755a37205fb","origin":"uaa","success":true,"inviteLink":"http://myuaa.cloudfoundry.com/invitations/accept?code=yuT6rd","errorCode":null,"errorMessage":null},

    ],
    "failed_invites":[]
}

Group Management APIs

In addition to SCIM users, UAA also supports/implements SCIM_groups for managing group-membership of users. These endpoints too are secured by OAuth2 bearer tokens.

Create a Group: POST /Groups

See SCIM - Creating Resources

  • Request: POST /Groups

  • Request Headers: Authorization header containing an OAuth2 bearer token with:

    scope = scim.write

  ],
  "description":"A description for the group"
}

The displayName is unique in the UAA, but is allowed to change. Each group also has a fixed primary key which is a UUID (stored in the id field of the core schema). The origin value shows what identity provider was responsible for making the connection between the user and the group. For example, if this relationship came from an LDAP user, it would have origin=ldap. The description is optional and will appear when the user is asked to approve groups for clients.

Access Token Administration APIs

OAuth2 protected resources which deal with listing and revoking access tokens. To revoke a token with DELETE clients need to provide a jti (token identifier, not the token value) which can be obtained from the token list via the corresponding GET. This is to prevent token values from being logged in the server (DELETE does not have a body).

Get the Token Signing Key: GET /token_key

An endpoint which returns the JSON Web Token (JWT) key, used by the UAA to sign JWT access tokens, and to be used by authorized clients to verify that a token came from the UAA. The key is in JSON Web Key format. For complete information about JSON Web Keys, see RFC 7517 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517). In the case when the token key is symmetric, signer key and verifier key are the same, then this call is authenticated with client credentials using the HTTP Basic method.

JWT signing keys are specified via the identity zone configuration (see /identity-zones). An identity zone token policy can be configured with multiple keys for purposes of key rotation. When adding a new key, set its ID as the activeKeyId to use it to sign all new tokens. /check_token will continue to verify tokens signed with the previous signing key for as long as it is present in the keys of the identity zone's token policy. Remove it to invalidate all those tokens.

JWT tokens issued by the UAA contain a kid field, indicating which key should be used for verification of the token. In the case that this is not the primary key, use GET /token_keys to retrieve all currently valid keys, and select the key that matches the token's kid.

The algorithm ("alg") tells the caller how to use the value (it is the result of algorithm method in the Signer implementation used in the token endpoint). In this case it is an HMAC (symmetric) key, but you might also see an asymmetric RSA public key with algorithm "RS256").

Get Token Signing Keys: GET /token_keys

An endpoint which returns the list of JWT keys. To support key rotation, this list specifies the IDs of all currently valid keys. JWT tokens issued by the UAA contain a kid field, indicating which key should be used for verification of the token.

UI Endpoints

Web app clients need UI endpoints for the OAuth2 and OpenID redirects. Clients that do not ask for a JSON content type will get HTML. Note that these UIs are whitelabeled and the branded versions used in Cloud Foundry are deployed in a separate component (the Login Server).

Internal Login Form: GET /login

  • Request: GET /login?error={error}
  • Response Body: form with all the relevant prompts
  • Response Codes: 200 - Success

Internal Login: POST /login.do

  • Request: POST /login.do

  • Request Body, example -- depends on configuration (e.g. do we need OTP / PIN / password etc.):

    username={username}&password={password}&X-Uaa-Csrf={token}...

  • Response Header, includes location if redirect, and cookie for subsequent interaction (e.g. authorization):

    Location: http://myapp.cloudfoundry.com/mycoolpage
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=ldfjhsdhafgkasd
Set-Cookie: X-Uaa-Csrf=abcdef; Expires=Thu, 04-Aug-2016 18:10:38 GMT; HttpOnly

  • Response Codes:

    302 - Found
200 - Success

Logout: GET /logout.do
