PASSWORD

1. When the credentials are valid, call Authlete’s /auth/token/issue} API to generate an access token for the client application. The API requires "ticket" request parameter and "subject" request parameter. Use the value returned from {@link #getTicket()} method as the value for "ticket" parameter.
2. The response from /auth/token/issue API ({@link TokenIssueResponse}) contains data (an access token and others) which should be returned to the client application. Use the data to generate a response to the client application.
3. When the credentials are invalid, call Authlete’s {@code /auth/token/fail} API with reason={@link TokenFailRequest.Reason#INVALID_RESOURCE_OWNER_CREDENTIALS INVALID_RESOURCE_OWNER_CREDENTIALS} to generate an error response for the client application. The API requires "ticket" request parameter. Use the value returned from {@link #getTicket()} method as the value for "ticket" parameter.
4. The response from /auth/token/fail API ({@link TokenFailResponse}) contains error information which should be returned to the client application. Use it to generate a response to the client application.

TOKEN_EXCHANGE (Authlete 2.3 onwards)

1. Confirm that the value of the requested_token_type request parameter is one of the registered token type identifiers if the request parameter is given and its value is not empty.
2. Confirm that the subject_token request parameter is given and its value is not empty.
3. Confirm that the subject_token_type request parameter is given and its value is one of the registered token type identifiers.
4. Confirm that the actor_token_type request parameter is given and its value is one of the registered token type identifiers if the actor_token request parameter is given and its value is not empty.
5. Confirm that the actor_token_type request parameter is not given or its value is empty when the actor_token request parameter is not given or its value is empty. Furthermore, Authlete performs additional validation on the tokens specified by the subject_token request parameter and the actor_token request parameter according to their respective token types as shown below.

​

Token Validation Steps

1. Confirm that the format conforms to the JWT specification [RFC 7519][https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7519.html].
2. Check if the JWT is encrypted and if it is encrypted, then (a) reject the token exchange request when the {@link Service#isTokenExchangeEncryptedJwtRejected() tokenExchangeEncryptedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) skip remaining validation steps when the flag is false. Note that Authlete does not verify an encrypted JWT because there is no standard way to obtain the key to decrypt the JWT with. This means that you must verify an encrypted JWT by yourself when one is used as an input token with the token type { @code “urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt” }.
3. Confirm that the current time has not reached the time indicated by the exp claim if the JWT contains the claim.
4. Confirm that the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by the iat claim if the JWT contains the claim. 5.Confirm that the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by the nbf claim if the JWT contains the claim.
5. Check if the JWT is signed and if it is not signed, then (a) reject the token exchange request when the {@link Service#isTokenExchangeUnsignedJwtRejected() tokenExchangeUnsignedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) finish validation on the input token. Note that Authlete does not verify the signature of the JWT because there is no standard way to obtain the key to verify the signature of a JWT with. This means that you must verify the signature by yourself when a signed JWT is used as an input token with the token type "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt". *Token Type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token*
6. Confirm that the token is an access token that has been issued by the Authlete server of your service. This implies that access tokens issued by other systems cannot be used as a subject token or an actor token with the token type urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token.
7. Confirm that the access token has not expired.
8. Confirm that the access token belongs to the service. *Token Type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:refresh_token*
9. Confirm that the token is a refresh token that has been issued by the Authlete server of your service. This implies that refresh tokens issued by other systems cannot be used as a subject token or an actor token with the token type urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:refresh_token.
10. Confirm that the refresh token has not expired.
11. Confirm that the refresh token belongs to the service. *Token Type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:id_token*
12. Confirm that the format conforms to the JWT specification (RFC 7519).
13. Check if the ID Token is encrypted and if it is encrypted, then (a) reject the token exchange request when the {@link Service#isTokenExchangeEncryptedJwtRejected() tokenExchangeEncryptedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) skip remaining validation steps when the flag is false. Note that Authlete does not verify an encrypted ID Token because there is no standard way to obtain the key to decrypt the ID Token with in the context of token exchange where the client ID for the encrypted ID Token cannot be determined. This means that you must verify an encrypted ID Token by yourself when one is used as an input token with the token type "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:id_token".
14. Confirm that the ID Token contains the exp claim and the current time has not reached the time indicated by the claim.
15. Confirm that the ID Token contains the iat claim and the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by the claim.
16. Confirm that the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by the nbf claim if the ID Token contains the claim.
17. Confirm that the ID Token contains the iss claim and the value is a valid URI. In addition, confirm that the URI has the https scheme, no query component and no fragment component.
18. Confirm that the ID Token contains the aud claim and its value is a JSON string or an array of JSON strings.
19. Confirm that the value of the nonce claim is a JSON string if the ID Token contains the claim.
20. Check if the ID Token is signed and if it is not signed, then (a) reject the token exchange request when the {@link Service#isTokenExchangeUnsignedJwtRejected() tokenExchangeUnsignedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) finish validation on the input token.
21. Confirm that the signature algorithm is asymmetric. This implies that ID Tokens whose signature algorithm is symmetric (HS256, HS384 or HS512) cannot be used as a subject token or an actor token with the token type urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:id_token.
22. Verify the signature of the ID Token. Signature verification is performed even in the case where the issuer of the ID Token is not your service. But in that case, the issuer must support the discovery endpoint defined in OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0. Otherwise, signature verification fails. *Token Type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:saml1* (Authlete does not perform any validation for this token type.) *Token Type: urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:saml2* (Authlete does not perform any validation for this token type.) The specification of Token Exchange (RFC 8693) is very flexible. In other words, the specification has abandoned the task of determining details. Therefore, for secure token exchange, you have to complement the specification with your own rules. For that purpose, Authlete provides some configuration options as listed below. Authorization server implementers may utilize them and/or implement their own rules. In the case of {@link Action#TOKEN_EXCHANGE TOKEN_EXCHANGE}, the {@link #getResponseContent()} method returns null. You have to construct the token response by yourself. For example, you may generate an access token by calling Authlete’s /api/auth/token/create API and construct a token response like below.

JWT_BEARER JWT_BEARER (Authlete 2.3 onwards)

1. Confirm that the assertion request parameter is given and its value is not empty.
2. Confirm that the format of the assertion conforms to the JWT specification (RFC 7519).
3. Check if the JWT is encrypted and if it is encrypted, then (a) reject the token request when the {@link Service#isJwtGrantEncryptedJwtRejected() jwtGrantEncryptedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) skip remaining validation steps when the flag is false. Note that Authlete does not verify an encrypted JWT because there is no standard way to obtain the key to decrypt the JWT with. This means that you must verify an encrypted JWT by yourself.
4. Confirm that the JWT contains the iss claim and its value is a JSON string.
5. Confirm that the JWT contains the sub claim and its value is a JSON string.
6. Confirm that the JWT contains the aud claim and its value is either a JSON string or an array of JSON strings.
7. Confirm that the issuer identifier of the service (cf. {@link Service#getIssuer()}) or the URL of the token endpoint (cf. {@link Service#getTokenEndpoint()}) is listed as audience in the aud claim.

9. Confirm that the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by by the iat claim if the JWT contains the claim.
10. Confirm that the current time is equal to or after the time indicated by by the nbf claim if the JWT contains the claim.
11. Check if the JWT is signed and if it is not signed, then (a) reject the token request when the {@link Service#isJwtGrantUnsignedJwtRejected() jwtGrantUnsignedJwtRejected} flag of the service is true or (b) finish validation on the JWT. Note that Authlete does not verify the signature of the JWT because there is no standard way to obtain the key to verify the signature of a JWT with. This means that you must verify the signature by yourself. Authlete provides some configuration options for the grant type as listed below. Authorization server implementers may utilize them and/or implement their own rules.
