NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication::OIDC - OpenID Connect implementation integrated into Mojolicious

SYNOPSIS

  $self->plugin('Authentication::OIDC' => {
    client_secret  => '...',
    well_known_url => 'https://idp/realms/master/.well-known/openid-configuration',
    public_key     => "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n...\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----",
  });

  # in controller
  say "Hi " . $c->current_user->firstname;

  use Array::Utils qw(intersect);
  if(intersect($c->current_user_roles->@*, qw(admin))) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious plugin for OpenID Connect authentication. Designed to work with an OpenID Connect provider like Keycloak, in confidential access mode. Its design goal is to be configured "all at once" and then little-to-no effort should be needed to support it elsewhere -- this is largely achieved via hooks ("on_success", "on_error", "on_login", "on_activity") and handlers ("get_token", "get_user", "get_roles")

Controller actions OpenIDConnect#redirect and OpenIDConnect#login are registered, and can be mapped to routes implicitly (see "make_routes") or manually routed to (e.g., via Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI).

For the auth workflow, clients should be sent to OpenIDConnect#redirect (via "redirect_path" if "make_routes" is enabled). Once the client authenticates to the identity server, they'll be sent to OpenIDConnect#login (via "login_path", again, if "make_routes" is enabled). Upon successful login, the "on_login" hook will be called, followed by the "on_success" hook, which should send the client to a post-login page. Then, on every server access on/after login, the "on_activity" hook will be called.

Controllers may get information about the logged in user via the "current_user" and "current_user_roles" helper methods.

METHODS

Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication::OIDC inherits all methods from Mojolicious::Plugin and imeplements the following new ones

register( \%params )

Register plugin in Mojolicious application, including registering Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication::OIDC::Controller::OpenIDConnect as a Mojolicious controller.

Configuration is done via the \%params HashRef, given the following keys

make_routes

Optional

A flag to indicate whether routes should be registered for "redirect_path" and "login_path" pointing to "redirect" in Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication::OIDC::Controller::OpenIDConnect and "login" in Mojolicious::Plugin::Authentication::OIDC::Controller::OpenIDConnect, respectively. Set to false if you are handling these routes some other way, for instance in a Mojolicious::PLugin::OpenAPI spec.

Default: true

client_id

Optional

The application's unique identifier, to the auhorization server

Default: the application moniker (lowercase)

client_secret

Required

A secret value known to the authorization server, specific to this application

well_known_url

Required

A discovery endpoint that informs the application of the authorization server's specific configuration and capabilities

Example: https://idp.domain.com/realms/master/.well-known/openid-configuration

public_key

Required

The RSA public key corresponding to the private key with which the authorization tokens are signed by the authorization server. Format is a PEM/DER/JWT string accepted by "decode_jwt" in Crypt::JWT's key parameter.

redirect_path

Optional

The path for the route which redirects users to the authorization server. Only used when "make_routes" is enabled, for configuring the path of that route.

Default: /auth

login_path

Optional

The path section of the URL to be used as the OIDC redirect_uri. The full URL will be constructed based on the scheme/host/port of the request. This path is also used for route registration if "make_routes" is enabled.

Default: /auth/login

get_user ( $token )

Optional

A callback that's given the auth token data as its only argument. It should return the application's user instance corresponding to that data (e.g., a database record object), creating any references as necessary.

Default: Simply returns the auth token data as a HashRef

get_token ( $controller )

Optional

A callback that's given a Mojolicious controller as its only argument. It should return the encoded authorization token. This allows the application to choose where and how the token is stored on the client side and sent to the server.

Default: returns the token value of the Mojo session

get_roles ( $user, $token )

Optional

Given a user instance (produced by "get_user") and a decoded authorization token as arguments, returns an ArrayRef of roles pertaining to that user.

Default: returns an empty ArrayRef

on_login ( $controller, $user )

Optional

A hook to allow the application to respond to a successful user login, such as updating the user's last_login date.

Default: undef

on_activity ( $controller, $user )

Optional

A hook to allow the application to respond to any request by a logged-in user, such as updating the user's last_activity date.

Default: undef

on_success ( $controller, $token )

Optional

A hook invoked when the user's authorization request succeeds. This code should address storage of the authentication token on the frontend.

Default: Stores the (encrypted) token in the token key of the Mojo session and redirects to /login/success

on_error

Optional

A hook invoked when the user's authorization request fails.

Default: renders the Authorization Server's response (JSON)

current_user

Returns the user record (from "get_user") for the currently logged in user. If no user is logged in, or any failure occurs in reading their access token, returns undef

current_user_roles

If a user is logged in, returns their roles (as determined by "get_roles"). Otherwise, returns undef
