Infrastructure/Authentication

OpenID Connect Authentication

Fedora Infrastructure is using OpenID Connect authentication, and this page is used to document the implementation details.

For development purposes, there is https://github.com/fedora-infra/tiny-stage For staging and production client secrets please file an Infrastructure ticket.

Terminology

Some basic terminology required to read this page:

• OpenID Provider (OP): the Ipsilon deployment, this is the part that does user authentication and issues tokens
• Identity Provider (IdP): see OpenID Provider
• Relying Party (RP): any application that runs the OpenID Connect protocol.
• Resource Server: any application that accepts tokens issued by the OpenID Provider.
• UserInfo: HTTP endpoint provided by Ipsilon to provide information about the user that authorized a token.

Endpoint URLs

• Configuration URL for dynamic configuration: https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc/.well-known/openid-configuration
• Authorization Endpoint: https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc/Authorization
• Token Endpoint: https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc/Token
• UserInfo Endpoint: https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc/UserInfo
• Token Introspection URL: https://id.fedoraproject.org/openidc/TokenInfo

Suggested implementations

For Flask, the suggested client is Flask-OIDC, for both clients and resource servers. Examples of other clients (including Javascript, Android and iOS), and servers (including Ruby and PHP can be found on the OpenID Github page, https://github.com/openid/ . For other clients, please get in touch if you have suggestions.

Example Tutorials

Apart from the official documentation, there are also useful tutorials available online. Some are:

• Patrick Uiterwjk FAS Flask OpenID Auth Plugin
• Matt Makai, How to Add User Authentication to Flask Apps with Okta
• Randall Degges Flask Tutorial: Simple User Registration and Login
• Pierre-Yves Chibon FPDC User guide: Authentication

An example authentication page is:

# An simple demonstration application to use Fedora OpenID
# authentication system
# setup a client secrets file by doing
#
# pip3 install oidc-register
#
# Then run the application, (save it as app.py)
# flask run
#
# then open your browser at http://localhost:5000

#imports for Flask
import flask
from fedora.client import AuthError, AppError
from flask_oidc import OpenIDConnect
import munch

# Set up Flask application
app = flask.Flask(__name__)
# Application configuration (add secret key of your choice)
app.config["OIDC_CLIENT_SECRETS"] = "client_secrets.json"
app.config["SECRET_KEY"] = "secretkey"

# Set up FAS extension
OIDC = OpenIDConnect(app, credentials_store=flask.session)

@app.before_request
def before_request():
    """Set the flask session as permanent."""
    flask.session.permanent = True
    # Check if already logged in
    if OIDC.user_loggedin:
        if not hasattr(flask.session, 'fas_user') or not flask.session.fas_user:
            flask.session.fas_user = munch.Munch({
                'username': OIDC.user_getfield('nickname'),
                'email': OIDC.user_getfield('email') or '',
                'cla_done':
                  'http://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/cla/done'
                  in (OIDC.user_getfield('cla') or []),
                  })
        flask.g.user = flask.session.fas_user
    else:
        flask.g.fas_user = None
        flask.session.fas_user = None

@app.route("/logged_in")
@OIDC.require_login
def logged_in():
    return flask.Response("You are now logged in. Try to logout by going to http://localhost:5000/logout")

@app.route("/")
def landing_page():
    return flask.Response("Landing page, try to go to http://localhost:5000/login")

@app.route("/login")
def login():
    return flask.redirect(flask.url_for('.logged_in'))

@app.route("/logout")
def logout():
    if hasattr(flask.g, 'fas_user') and flask.g.fas_user is not None:
        OIDC.logout()
        flask.g.fas_user = None
        flask.session.fas_user = None
        flask.flash('You have been logged out')
    return flask.redirect(flask.url_for('.landing_page'))

Custom UserInfo fields

Field	Summary	Scope required (check table below for the namespace of these scopes)
groups	List of groups the user is a member of	groups
cla	List of CLA URIs the user hs signed	cla

Scopes

OAuth2/OpenID Connect scopes are specific strings that indicate for what use a particular token was requested. When a token is issued, the user was asked whether or not they consented to the particular set of permissions indicated by the token. For example, only tokens that were requested containing the scope https://release-monitoring.org/oidc/upstream can be used at Anitya for updating upstream project information. A token can contain many possible scopes, all of which have been authorized by the user.

In the Fedora Infrastructure, various applications are defined that specify various possible token scopes. These scopes are recorded here.

Every service will first list it's base namespace, and then the scope ID and a short summary of the scopes. To get the full scope to request, append the scope ID to the base namespace. So for example, to get the group information, this becomes: https://id.fedoraproject.org/scope/groups

The "Availability" line indicates whether this scope is live on the development, staging and production identity provider. A scope might not have progressed further because the application implementing it is only in a certain stage of development. This should only be edited by the infrastructure member that progresses the scope out further.

Registering new scopes

To register a new set of scopes, please feel free to just create a new section and then file a ticket on https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/ to get them added to the development instance.

Also, once the scopes are finalized, please open a second ticket on https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/ to request the scopes be added to the staging/production systems.

To add new scopes to an existing project, add a second table with the new scopes to the relevant section, follow the above process, and then merge the two tables back into one after the scopes are fully deployed.

These scopes are standardized, and not namespaced.
