Symfony bundle for authorization via OpenID Connect.

Installation

To install run

composer require itk-dev/openid-connect-bundle

Usage

Before being able to use the bundle, you must have your own User entity and database setup.

Once you have this, you need to

Configure variables for OpenId Connect
Create an Authenticator class that extends the bundle authenticator, OpenIdLoginAuthenticator
Configure LoginTokenAuthenticator in order to use CLI login.

Variable configuration

In /config/packages/ you need the following itkdev_openid_connect.yaml file for configuring OpenId Connect variables

itkdev_openid_connect:
  cache_options:
    cache_pool: 'cache.app' # Cache item pool for caching discovery document and CLI login tokens
  cli_login_options:
    route: '%env(string:OIDC_CLI_LOGIN_ROUTE)%' # Redirect route for CLI login
  user_provider: ~ #
  openid_providers:
    # Define one or more providers
    # [providerKey]:
    #   options:
    #     metadata_url: …
    #     …
    admin:
      options:
        metadata_url: '%env(string:ADMIN_OIDC_METADATA_URL)%'
        client_id: '%env(string:ADMIN_OIDC_CLIENT_ID)%'
        client_secret: '%env(string:ADMIN_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET)%'
        # Specify redirect URI
        redirect_uri: '%env(string:ADMIN_OIDC_REDIRECT_URI)%'
        # Optional: Specify leeway (seconds) to account for clock skew between provider and hosting
        #           Defaults to 10
        leeway: '%env(int:ADMIN_OIDC_LEEWAY)%'
        # Optional: Allow http requests (used for mocking a IdP)
        #           Defaults to false
        allow_http: '%env(bool:ADMIN_OIDC_ALLOW_HTTP)%'
    user:
      options:
        metadata_url: '%env(string:USER_OIDC_METADATA_URL)%'
        client_id: '%env(string:USER_OIDC_CLIENT_ID)%'
        client_secret: '%env(string:USER_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET)%'
        # As an alternative to using (a more or less) hardcoded redirect uri,
        # a Symfony route can be used as redirect URI
        redirect_route: 'default'
        # Define any params for the redirect_route
        # redirect_route_parameters: { type: user }

With the following .env environment variables

###> itk-dev/openid-connect-bundle ###
# "admin" open id connect configuration variables (values provided by the OIDC IdP)
ADMIN_OIDC_METADATA_URL=ADMIN_APP_METADATA_URL
ADMIN_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=ADMIN_APP_CLIENT_ID
ADMIN_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=ADMIN_APP_CLIENT_SECRET
ADMIN_OIDC_REDIRECT_URI=ADMIN_APP_REDIRECT_URI
ADMIN_OIDC_LEEWAY=30
ADMIN_OIDC_ALLOW_HTTP=true

# "user" open id connect configuration variables
USER_OIDC_METADATA_URL=USER_APP_METADATA_URL
USER_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=USER_APP_CLIENT_ID
USER_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=USER_APP_CLIENT_SECRET

# cli redirect url 
OIDC_CLI_LOGIN_ROUTE=OIDC_CLI_LOGIN_ROUTE
###< itk-dev/openid-connect-bundle ###

Set the actual values your env.local file to ensure they are not committed to Git.

In /config/routes/ you need a similar itkdev_openid_connect.yaml file for configuring the routing

itkdev_openid_connect:
  resource: "@ItkDevOpenIdConnectBundle/src/Resources/config/routes.yaml"
  prefix: "/openidconnect" # Prefix for bundle routes

It is not necessary to add a prefix to the bundle routes, but in case you want i.e. another /login route, it makes distinguishing between them easier.

When invoking the login controller action (route itkdev_openid_connect_login) the key of a provider must be set in the provider parameter, e.g.

  <a href="{{ path('itkdev_openid_connect_login', {provider: 'user'}) }}">{{ 'Sign in'|trans }}</a>

  $router->generate('itkdev_openid_connect_login', ['provider => 'user']);

Make sure to allow anonymous access to the login controller route, i.e. something along the lines of

# config/packages/security.yaml
security:
  # …
  access_control:
    # …
    - { path: ^/openidconnect/login(/.+)?$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

CLI login

In order to use the CLI login feature the following environment variable must be set in order for Symfony to be able to generate URLs in commands:

DEFAULT_URI=

See Symfony documentation: Generating URLs in Commands for more information.

You must also add the bundles CliLoginTokenAuthenticator to the security.yaml file:

security:
  firewalls:
    main:
      custom_authenticators:
        - ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Security\CliLoginTokenAuthenticator

Finally, configure the Symfony route to use for login links: cli_login_options: route. If yoy have multiple firewalls that are active for different url patterns you need to make sure you add LoginTokenAuthenticator to the firewall active for the route specified here.

Creating the Authenticator

The bundle can help you get the claims received from the authorizer – the only functions that need to be implemented are authenticate(), onAuthenticationSuccess() and start().

<?php

namespace App\Security;

use ItkDev\OpenIdConnect\Exception\ItkOpenIdConnectException;
use ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Security\OpenIdLoginAuthenticator;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\TokenInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserProviderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\Passport\Passport;

class SomeAuthenticator extends OpenIdLoginAuthenticator
{

    public function authenticate(Request $request): Passport
    {
        // Get the OIDC claims.
        try {
            $claims = $this->validateClaims($request);
            
            // Authentication success
            
            // TODO: Implement authenticate() method.
            
        } catch (ItkOpenIdConnectException $exception) {
            // Authentication failed
            throw new CustomUserMessageAuthenticationException($exception->getMessage());
        }
    }

    public function onAuthenticationSuccess(Request $request, TokenInterface $token, string $firewallName): ?Response
    {
        // TODO: Implement onAuthenticationSuccess() method.
    }

    public function start(Request $request, AuthenticationException $authException = null)
    {
        // TODO: Implement start() method.
    }
}

See below for a full authenticator example.

Make sure to add your authenticator to the security.yaml file - and if you have more than one to add an entry point.

security:
  firewalls:
    main:
        custom_authenticators:
          - App\Security\ExampleAuthenticator
          - ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Security\LoginTokenAuthenticator
        entry_point: App\Security\ExampleAuthenticator

Example authenticator functions

Here is an example using a User with a name and email property. First we extract data from the claims, then check if this user already exists and finally update/create it based on whether it existed or not.

<?php

namespace App\Security;

use App\Entity\User;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;
use ItkDev\OpenIdConnect\Exception\ItkOpenIdConnectException;
use ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Exception\InvalidProviderException;
use ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Security\OpenIdConfigurationProviderManager;
use ItkDev\OpenIdConnectBundle\Security\OpenIdLoginAuthenticator;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\TokenInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\CustomUserMessageAuthenticationException;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\Passport\Badge\UserBadge;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\Passport\Passport;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\Passport\SelfValidatingPassport;

class AzureOIDCAuthenticator extends OpenIdLoginAuthenticator
{
    /**
     * AzureOIDCAuthenticator constructor
     *
     * @param EntityManagerInterface $entityManager
     * @param RequestStack $requestStack
     * @param UrlGeneratorInterface $router
     * @param OpenIdConfigurationProviderManager $providerManager
     */
    public function __construct(
        private readonly EntityManagerInterface $entityManager,
        private readonly RequestStack $requestStack,
        private readonly UrlGeneratorInterface $router,
        private readonly OpenIdConfigurationProviderManager $providerManager
    ) {
        parent::__construct($providerManager, $requestStack);
    }

    /** @inheritDoc */
    public function authenticate(Request $request): Passport
    {
        try {
            // Validate claims
            $claims = $this->validateClaims($request);

            // Extract properties from claims
            $name = $claims['name'];
            $email = $claims['upn'];

            // Check if user exists already - if not create a user
            $user = $this->entityManager->getRepository(User::class)
                ->findOneBy(['email'=> $email]);
            if (null === $user) {
                // Create the new user and persist it
                $user = new User();
                $this->entityManager->persist($user);
            }
            // Update/set user properties
            $user->setName($name);
            $user->setEmail($email);

            $this->entityManager->flush();

            return new SelfValidatingPassport(new UserBadge($user->getUserIdentifier()));
        } catch (ItkOpenIdConnectException|InvalidProviderException $exception) {
            throw new CustomUserMessageAuthenticationException($exception->getMessage());
        }
    }

    /** @inheritDoc */
    public function onAuthenticationSuccess(Request $request, TokenInterface $token, string $firewallName): ?Response
    {
        return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('homepage_authenticated'));
    }

    /** @inheritDoc */
    public function start(Request $request, AuthenticationException $authException = null): Response
    {
        return new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('itkdev_openid_connect_login', [
            'provider' => 'user',
        ]));
    }
}

Sign in from command line

Rather than signing in via OpenId Connect, you can get a sign in url from the command line by providing a username. Make sure to configure OIDC_CLI_REDIRECT_URL. Run

bin/console itk-dev:openid-connect:login <username>

bin/console itk-dev:openid-connect:login --help

for details.

Be aware that a login token only can be used once before it is removed, and if you used email as your user provider property the email goes into the username argument.
