The web application (or client application) requests the authorization code at the authorization endpoint. The login endpoint is used to call an advanced login window, which serves to determine the authorization code. The authentication module requires an access token from the token endpoint and the certificate is required to check the security token.
In the process, an attempt is made to find the certificate from the web application configuration. If this is not possible, the settings of the identity provider are used. To find the certificate for testing the token, the certificate stores are queries in the following order:
-
Configuration of the OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect application (QBMIdentityClient table)
-
Certificate text (QBMIdentityClient.CertificateText).
-
Subject or thumbprint from the local memory (QBMIdentityClient.CertificateSubject and QBMIdentityClient.CertificateThumbPrint).
-
Certificate endpoint (QBMIdentityClient.CertificateEndpoint).
In addition, the subject or thumbprint is used to check certificates from the server if they are specified and do not exist locally on the server.
-
Configuration of the identity provider (QBMIdentityProvider table)
-
Certificate text ((QBMIdentityProvider.CertificateText).
-
Subject or thumbprint from the local memory (QBMIdentityProvider.CertificateSubject and QBMIdentityProvider.CertificateThumbPrint).
-
Certificate endpoint (QBMIdentityProvider.CertificateEndpoint)).
In addition, the subject or thumbprint is used to check certificates from the server if they are specified and do not exist locally on the server.
-
JSON-Web-Key endpoint (QBMIdentityProvider.JsonWebKeyEndpoint).
To identify the user account, the system determines which claim type is used to find the user information and which information from the One Identity Manager schema is used to find the user account.
Authentication through OpenID is built on OAuth 2.0. The OpenID Connect authentication uses the same mechanisms, but makes the claims available either in an ID token or with a UserInfo endpoint. Other configuration settings are required for using OpenID Connect. If the Scope contains the openid value, the authentication module uses OpenID Connect for authentication.
