NAME

Authen::NZRealMe::ResolutionResponse - Encapsulates the response from the IdP to the artifact resolution request

DESCRIPTION

This package is used by the Authen::NZRealMe::ServiceProvider to represent the response received from the Identity Provider.

The is_success or is_error methods can be used to determine whether the user's logon was successful.

On success, the user's FLT can be retrieved using the flt method.

On failure, the URN identifying the exact error can be determined using the status_urn method. Convenience methods are also provided for identifying common error codes that you might want to handle (see: is_cancel, is_timeout, is_not_registered).

METHODS

new

Constructor. Should not be called directly. Instead, call the resolve_artifact method on the service provider object.

xml

The raw XML response from the IdP. Useful for logging and diagnostics.

service_type

Accessor for the type of service ("login" or "assertion") this response originated from.

status_urn

The 'StatusCode' 'Value' (most specific if more than one) in the response from the IdP. You probably want to use the convenience methods (such as is_cancel) rather than querying this directly although in the case of errors you will want to log this value.

status_message

In some error cases the IdP will return a human readable message relating to the error condition. If provided, you should include it in the error screen you display to your users. This routine will return an empty string if the response contained no message.

is_success

Returns true if the artifact resolution was successful and an FLT is available. Returns false otherwise.

is_error

Returns true if the artifact resolution was not successful. Returns false otherwise.

is_timeout

Returns true if the RealMe Login service timed out waiting for the user to enter their account details. After this error, it is safe to present the user with a "try again" link.

is_cancel

Returns true if the user selected 'Cancel' or 'Return to agency site' rather than logging in. After this error, it is safe to present the user with a "try again" link.

is_not_registered

Returns true if the logon was successful but the user's RealMe Login account has not been associated with this service provider (agency web site).

This situation will only occur if the original authentication request specified a false value for the allow_create option. Agency sites which use a separate flow for the initial sign-up process will need to handle this error.

as_string

Returns a string listing all the attributes from the assertion (including the FLT if requested). This is useful for logging and debiugging purposes.

RESPONSE ATTRIBUTE METHODS

The following methods are available for querying attributes returned in the response (after the artifact resolution has been completed successfully).

Note most of the attributes will only be available if they were requested during your application's integration with the assertion service and if the user consented to those details being shared with your application.

flt

Returns the user's FLT (Federated Login Tag) - a token uniquely identifying the relationship between the user, the login service and your application.

logon_strength

The URN indicating the logon strength returned by the Login Service IdP (not available in responses from the assertion service).

Note: If you have specific logon strength requirements, you should specify them using the logon_strength and strength_match options when calling the service provider's resolve_artifact method.

fit

Returns the user's FIT (Federated Identity Tag) - a token uniquely identifying the relationship between the user, the assertion service and your application.

date_of_birth

Returns the user's date of birth as an ISO date string.

place_of_birth

Returns the user's place of birth as a string containing a town name.

country_of_birth

Returns the user's country of birth as a string containing a country name.

surname

Returns the user's surname.

first_name

Returns the user's first name (if they have one).

mid_names

Returns the user's midnames (if they have any).

gender

Returns the user's gender as "M" (Male), "F" (Female) or "U" (Unknown).

address

Returns all available details of the verified address (if one was available) as a hashref with keys: "unit", "street", "suburb", "town_city" and "postcode".

If no address details are available, returns undef.

address_unit

Returns the unit identifier (e.g.: "Flat 1") from the user's address if it has one.

address_street

Returns the house number and street name (e.g.: "25 Example Street") from the user's address.

address_rural_delivery

Returns the rural delivery identifier (e.g.: "RD 7") from the user's address (if it has one).

address_suburb

Returns the suburb name (e.g.: "Herne Bay") from the user's address if it has one.

address_town_city

Returns the town or city name (e.g.: "Auckland") from the user's address.

address_postcode

Returns the postcode (e.g.: "1001") from the user's address.
