OpenID Connect service configuration

Service configuration

Go in Manager and click on OpenID Connect Service node.

Issuer identifier

Set the issuer identifier, which should be the portal URL.

For example: http://auth.example.com

End points

Name of different OpenID Connect endpoints. You can keep the default values unless you have a specific need to change them.

  • Authorization

  • Token

  • User Info

  • JWKS

  • Registration

  • End of session

  • Check Session

Tip

The end points are published inside JSON metadata.

Authentication context

You can associate here an authentication context to an authentication level.

Security

  • Keys : define public/private key pair to do asymmetric signature. A JWKS kid (Key ID) is automatically derived when generating new keys.

  • Dynamic Registration: Set to 1 to allow clients to register themselves. This may be a security risk as this will create a new configuration in the backend per registration request. You can limit this by protecting in the WebServer the registration end point with an authentication module, and give the credentials to clients.

  • Only allow declared scopes: By default, LemonLDAP::NG will grant all requested scopes. When this option is in use, LemonLDAP will only grant:

    • Standard OIDC scopes (openid profile email address phone)

    • Scopes declared in Scope values content

    • Scopes declared in Scope Rules (if they match the rule)

  • Authorization Code flow: Set to 1 to allow Authorization Code flow

  • Implicit flow: Set to 1 to allow Implicit flow

  • Hybrid flow: Set to 1 to allow Hybrid flow

Sessions

It is recommended to use a separate sessions storage for OpenID Connect sessions, else they will stored in the main sessions storage.

Dynamic Registration

If dynamic registration is enabled, you can configure the following options to define attributes and extra claims when a new relying party is registered through the /oauth2/register endpoint:

  • Exported vars for dynamic registration

  • Extra claims for dynamic registration

Key rotation script

OpenID Connect specification let the possibility to rotate keys to improve security. LL::NG provide a script to do this, that should be put in a cronjob.

The script is /usr/share/lemonldap-ng/bin/rotateOidcKeys. It can be run for example each week:

5 5 * * 6 www-data /usr/share/lemonldap-ng/bin/rotateOidcKeys

Tip

Set the correct Apache user, else generated configuration will not be readable by LL::NG.

Session management

LL::NG implements the OpenID Connect Change Notification specification

A changed state will be sent if the user is disconnected from LL::NG portal (or has destroyed its SSO cookie). Else the unchanged state will be returned.

Tip

To work, the LL::NG cookie must not be protected against javascript (httpOnly option should be set to 0).
