Class AuthSvcClient


  • public class AuthSvcClient
    extends java.lang.Object
    Use this class to make internal calls to AAC authentication service policies. This allows for extra customisation of authentication flows without needing to contact the authentication service via HTTP.

    There are 3 pairs of execute functions that can be called, dependent on the calling location. If a context variable is provided, the policy state and context will be stored in that context variable (InfoMap, Access Policy). Otherwise, use the non-context functions which will store the policy state and context in the DMAP.

    When calling from an InfoMap policy, the following functions should be used with the InfoMap context variable:
    #executeInInfoMap(Context, String)
    #executeInInfoMap(Context, String, STSUniversalUser)

    When calling from an Access Policy, the following functions should be used with the Access Policy context variable:
    executeInAccessPolicy(Context, String)
    executeInAccessPolicy(Context, String, STSUniversalUser)

    When calling from other contexts, or for state-less invocation in the outer calling layer, the following functions will store state and context in the DMAP:
    execute(String)
    execute(String, STSUniversalUser)

    Note: See the Advanced Configuration distributedMap configuration entries to customise the DMAP store and other parameters.

    To pass user credential information to the policy, use the functions that take a STSUniversalUser object. This will be required in the majority of cases, for example when performing second factor authentication. Helpers have been provided to build the STSUniversalUser object, see #getRequestTokenAttrAsStsuu(Context) and getSimpleSTSUU(String)

      • execute

        public static java.lang.String execute​(java.lang.String payload)
        Execute an authentication policy from within a mapping rule. The policy request, response, session, and context objects are completely recreated from the given arguments, and stored separately from the objects of the already running context.

        This method will store the policy context within the DMAP, which can be configured to use multiple different stores (i.e. HVDB, Redis).

        No user credential information or request tokens are passed to the policy. See execute(String, STSUniversalUser) to include user information.
        Example input payload with PolicyId:
        {
          "PolicyId": "urn:ibm:security:authentication:asf:totp"
          "operation": "verify",
          "otp": "123456"
        }
        
        Example input payload with StateId:
        {
          "StateId": "BQ4TUc6sIeuprD3ToVBCumClgcAwtGLlPPbdM0A49BBcCcriF2Pz85H5bQmz8KKPHXp2XAfdQMPB7MYTAJsEqu3Fu2xcN5j..."
          "operation": "verify",
          "otp": "123456"
        }
        
        Example response payload:
        {
          "status":"pause",

            "exceptionMsg":""
          }
        }
         
        Parameters:
        payload - The policy payload as stringified JSON. Must include either the policy ID (PolicyId), or a state ID (StateId), and other request parameters dependent on the policy being run. For example, the "operation" parameter is required to complete most policies.
        Returns:
        A stringfied JSON payload that contains three parameters, status, page, and response. The status value will be set to one of three values, indicating the status of the policy: "pause", "abort", or "success". The page value will be set to the template page returned by the policy that was run, or empty string if no template returned. The response value will be set to the JSON payload returned from the policy.
