WSO2 Identity Server OpenId Connect Owin

Question

Im trying to set up WSO2 Identity Server to use OpenId connect. I have currently applied the following settings shown Here: Setup WSO2.

What it boiles down to is that i use the Resident Identity Provider and i have setup a Service Provider for my app "CoolApp".

I configured "OAuth/OpenID Connect Configuration" and set a callback URL.

Is there a simple example how to use this in javascript?

I have played around with identityserver3 and they have a client oidc-client.js which works nicely in combination with identityserver3. However i cant seem to get it working with WSO2 identity server.

I was going about the issue in a wrong way, what i actually wanted was to protect my website using the owin middleware like they tried here and here.

so now i have the following:

app.SetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType("ClientCookie");

        app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
        {
            AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationMode.Active,
            AuthenticationType = "ClientCookie",
            CookieName = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.CookiePrefix + "ClientCookie",
            ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
        });

        // ***************************************************************************
        // Approach 1 : ResponseType = "id_token token"
        // ***************************************************************************
        app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
        {
            AuthenticationMode = AuthenticationMode.Active,
            AuthenticationType = OpenIdConnectAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType,
            SignInAsAuthenticationType = app.GetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType(),
            Authority = "   https://localhost:9443/oauth2/",
            ClientId = "fgx4M5e27NJqgRIs8nu5aL7Jw3oa",
            ClientSecret = "dwGdRDCFY7Soa7CB5K5smkiuMmYa",
            RedirectUri = "http://localhost:57815/Account/ExternalLoginCallback/",
            ResponseType = "id_token token",
            Scope = "openid",

            Configuration = new OpenIdConnectConfiguration
            {
                AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://localhost:9443/oauth2/authorize",
                TokenEndpoint = "https://localhost:9443/oauth2/token",
                UserInfoEndpoint = "https://localhost:9443/oauth2/userinfo",
            },

            Notifications = new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationNotifications
            {
                SecurityTokenValidated = n =>
                {
                    var token = n.ProtocolMessage.AccessToken;

                    // persist access token in cookie
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(token))
                    {
                        n.AuthenticationTicket.Identity.AddClaim(
                            new Claim("access_token", token));
                    }
                    return Task.FromResult(0);
                },

                AuthenticationFailed = notification =>
                {

                    if (string.Equals(notification.ProtocolMessage.Error, "access_denied", StringComparison.Ordinal))
                    {
                        notification.HandleResponse();

                        notification.Response.Redirect("/");
                    }

                    return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
                }
            }
        });

I put a break point in the SecurityTokenValidated and AuthenticationFailed. Go to the page and i get redirected to the WSO2 identity server as expected. When i login and return to the page both of my break points are NOT hit and im not logged in.

Im using WSO2 Identity Server 5.1.0.

@farasath, could you please help me and the others out looks like we are all running into the same issue and havent found a solution yet.

During further investigation i found out that using the code flow with response_type = "code" will not work either, as the OIDC middleware doesn't support it (see here and here).

Found a suggestion by @pinpoint that ASP.net core does support this. But this is not really an option.

@Hos answered here:

With WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 OpenID Connect "id_token" response type is not implemented.

Im not getting the error response he mentioned in his post, but the results for me stay the same using these versions, the breakpoints never get hit. So now i'm wondering should this actually work in 5.1.0 or in the 5.2.0-Beta or is this still WIP.

Second time i ran it i got this log:

Now i changed my redirect uri to: RedirectUri = "http://localhost:57815/Account/ExternalLoginCallback/",

and logInfo in that function is always null var loginInfo = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();

Googled around and found this post where someone was having similar problems.

---

Used Fiddler to look at the callback looks like a cookie has been set

---

So now Im left with the following situation:

• Breakpoint in SecurityTokenValidated never hit
• Breakpoint in AuthenticationFailed never hit
• var loginInfo = await AuthenticationManager.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync(); is always null in my Callback

Answer 1

Reason for this is OWIN middle-ware is expecting the OAUTH response in OAUTH 2.0 Form Post Response Mode [1] which is an optional spec and only Identity Server 5.2.0 (With a patch) upwards supports this.

[1] http://openid.net/specs/oauth-v2-form-post-response-mode-1_0.html

Answer 2

AFAIK we don't have a Javascript sample that you can use directly. But that shouldn't be a problem at all. I came across [1] by simply googling. All you need to do is to replace the client_id and callback URL. Since we follow the OAuth/OpenID connect spec any OAuth Javascript client library should work with WSO2 Identity Server.

We do have a web app sample[2] and I wrote a blog post[3] earlier just to demonstrate the authorization code flow with WSO2 Identity Server.
