OpenID Connect Provider

LL::NG can act as an OpenID Connect Provider (OP). It will answer to OpenID Connect requests to give user identity (trough ID Token) and information (trough User Info end point).

As an OP, LL::NG supports a lot of OpenID Connect features:

• Authorization Code, Implicit and Hybrid flows
• Publication of JSON metadata and JWKS data (Discovery)
• prompt, display, ui_locales, max_age parameters
• Extra claims definition
• Authentication context Class References (ACR)
• Nonce
• Dynamic registration
• Access Token Hash generation
• ID Token signature (HS256/HS384/HS512/RS256/RS384/RS512)
• UserInfo end point, as JSON or as JWT
• Request and Request URI
• Session management
• FrontChannel Logout
• BackChannel Logout
• PKCE (Since 2.0.4)

See OpenID Connect service configuration chapter.

Go in General Parameters » Issuer modules » OpenID Connect and configure:

• Activation: set to On.
• Path: keep ^/oauth2/ unless you need to use another path
• Use rule: a rule to allow user to use this module, set to 1 to always allow.

$authenticationLevel > 2

Each Relying Party has its own configuration way. LL::NG publish its OpenID Connect metadata to ease the configuration of client.

The metadata can be found at the standard “Well Known” URL: http://auth.example.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

An example of its content:

{
   "end_session_endpoint" : "http://auth.example.com/oauth2/logout",
   "jwks_uri" : "http://auth.example.com/oauth2/jwks",
   "token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported" : [

Go in Manager and click on OpenID Connect Relying Parties, then click on Add OpenID Relying Party. Give a technical name (no spaces, no special characters), like “sample-rp”;

You can then access to the configuration of this RP.

You can map here the attribute names from the LL::NG session to an OpenID Connect claim.

So you can define for example:

• name => cn
• family_name => sn
• email => mail

You can also define extra claims and link them to attributes (see below). Then you just have to define the mapping of this new attributes, for example:

• birthplace => l
• birthcountry => co

• Authentication:
  • Client ID: Client ID for this RP
  • Client secret: Client secret for this RP (can be use for symmetric signature)
  • Public client (since version 2.0.4): set this RP as public client, so authentication is not needed on token endpoint
  • Require PKCE (since version 2.0.4): a code challenge is required at token endpoint (see RFC7636)
• Display:
  • Display name: Name of the RP application
  • Logo: Logo of the RP application
• User attribute: session field that will be used as main identifier (sub)
• ID Token signature algorithm: Select one of none, HS256, HS384, HS512, RS256, RS384, RS512
• ID Token expiration: Expiration time of ID Tokens
• Access token expiration: Expiration time of Access Tokens
• Redirection addresses: Space separated list of redirect addresses allowed for this RP
• Bypass consent: Enable if you never want to display the scope sharing consent screen (consent will be accepted by default). Bypassing the consent is not compliant with OpenID Connect standard.

Associate attributes to extra claims if the RP request them, for example birth => birthplace birthcountry
