=head1 NAME
Catalyst::Plugin::OIDC - OIDC protocol integration for Catalyst
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This plugin makes it easy to integrate the OpenID Connect protocol
into a Catalyst application.
It essentially uses the L<OIDC-Client|https://metacpan.org/dist/OIDC-Client>
distribution.
=cut
__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata('_oidc_config');
__PACKAGE__->mk_classdata('_oidc_client_by_provider');
=head1 METHODS
=head2 setup_finalize
Code executed once when the application is loaded.
Depending on the configuration, creates and keeps in memory one or more clients
(L<OIDC::Client> stateless objects) and automatically adds the callback routes
to the application.
=cut
sub setup_finalize ($app) {
my $config = $app->config->{'oidc_client'}
or croak('no oidc_client config');
$app->_oidc_config($config);
my %client_by_provider;

my $dispatch_path = first { $_->isa('Catalyst::DispatchType::Path') } @{$app->dispatcher->dispatch_types};
foreach my $provider (keys %{ $config->{provider} || {} }) {
my $config_provider = clone($config->{provider}{$provider});
$config_provider->{provider} = $provider;
$client_by_provider{$provider} = OIDC::Client->new(
config => $config_provider,
log => $app->log,
);
# didn't find a better way to dynamically add the callback routes to the application
my @new_actions;
foreach my $action_type (qw/ login logout /) {
my $path = $action_type eq 'login' ? $config_provider->{signin_redirect_path}
: $config_provider->{logout_redirect_path};
next if !$path || $seen_path{$path}++;
push @new_actions, Catalyst::Action->new(
class => __PACKAGE__,
namespace => '',
code => $action_type eq 'login' ? \&_oidc_login_callback : \&_oidc_logout_callback,
name => "oidc_${action_type}_callback",
reverse => "oidc/${action_type}_callback",
attributes => { Path => [ $path ] },
);
}
$dispatch_path->register($app, $_) for @new_actions;
}
$app->_oidc_client_by_provider(\%client_by_provider);

=head1 METHODS ADDED TO THE APPLICATION
=head2 oidc( $provider )
# with just one provider
my $oidc = $c->oidc;
# or
my $oidc = $c->oidc('my_provider');
# with several providers
my $oidc = $c->oidc('my_provider_1');
Creates and returns an instance of L<OIDC::Client::Plugin> with the data
from the current request and session.
If several providers are configured, the I<$provider> parameter is mandatory.
This is the application's entry point to the library. Please see the
L<OIDC::Client::Plugin> documentation to find out what methods are available.

=head1 CONFIGURATION
Section to be added to your configuration file :
<oidc_client>
<provider provider_name>
id my-app-id
secret xxxxxxxxx
signin_redirect_path /oidc/login/callback
scope openid profile email
expiration_leeway 20
<claim_mapping>
login sub
lastname lastName
firstname firstName
email email
roles roles
</claim_mapping>
<audience_alias other_app_name>
audience other-app-audience
</audience_alias>
</provider>
</oidc_client>
This is an example, see the detailed possibilities in L<OIDC::Client::Config>.
=head1 SAMPLES
Here are some samples by category. Although you will have to adapt them to your needs,
they should be a good starting point.
=head2 Setup
To setup the plugin when the application is launched :
my @plugin = (
...
'OIDC',
);
__PACKAGE__->setup(@plugin);
=head2 Authentication
To authenticate the end-user :
if (my $identity = $c->oidc->get_stored_identity()) {
$c->request->remote_user($identity->{subject});
}
elsif (uc($c->request->method) eq 'GET' && !$c->is_ajax_request()) {
$c->oidc->redirect_to_authorize();
}
else {
MyApp::Exception::Authentication->throw(
error => "You have been logged out. Please try again after refreshing the page.",
);
}
=head2 API call
To make an API call with propagation of the security context (token exchange) :
# Retrieving a web client (Mojo::UserAgent object)
my $ua = try {
$c->oidc->build_api_useragent('other_app_name')
}
catch {
$c->log->warn("Unable to exchange token : $_");
MyApp::Exception::Authorization->throw(
error => "Authorization problem. Please try again after refreshing the page.",
);
};
# Usual call to the API
my $res = $ua->get($url)->result;
=head1 SECURITY RECOMMENDATION
It is highly recommended to configure the framework to store session data,
including sensitive tokens such as access and refresh tokens, on the backend
rather than in client-side cookies. Although cookies can be signed and encrypted,
storing tokens in the client exposes them to potential security threats.
