# DSL: AshAuthentication.Strategy.OAuth2 Strategy for authenticating using an OAuth 2.0 server as the source of truth. This strategy wraps the excellent [`assent`](https://hex.pm/packages/assent) package, which provides OAuth 2.0 capabilities. In order to use OAuth 2.0 authentication on your resource, it needs to meet the following minimum criteria: 1. Have a primary key. 2. Provide a strategy-specific action, either register or sign-in. 3. Provide configuration for OAuth2 destinations, secrets, etc. ### Example: ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do use Ash.Resource, extensions: [AshAuthentication] attributes do uuid_primary_key :id attribute :email, :ci_string, allow_nil?: false end authentication do api MyApp.Accounts strategies do oauth2 :example do client_id "OAuth Client ID" redirect_uri "https://my.app/" client_secret "My Super Secret Secret" site "https://auth.example.com/" end end end end ``` ## Secrets and runtime configuration In order to use OAuth 2.0 you need to provide a varying number of secrets and other configuration which may change based on runtime environment. The `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour is provided to accommodate this. This allows you to provide configuration either directly on the resource (ie as a string), as an anonymous function, or as a module. > ### Warning {: .warning} > > We **strongly** urge you not to share actual secrets in your code or > repository. ### Examples: Providing configuration as an anonymous function: ```elixir oauth2 do client_secret fn _path, resource -> Application.fetch_env(:my_app, resource, :oauth2_client_secret) end end ``` Providing configuration as a module: ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Secrets do use AshAuthentication.Secret def secret_for([:authentication, :strategies, :example, :client_secret], MyApp.User, _opts), do: Application.fetch_env(:my_app, :oauth2_client_secret) end # and in your strategies: oauth2 :example do client_secret MyApp.Secrets end ``` ## User identities Because your users can be signed in via multiple providers at once, you can specify an `identity_resource` in the DSL configuration which points to a seperate Ash resource which has the `AshAuthentication.UserIdentity` extension present. This resource will be used to store details of the providers in use by each user and a relationship will be added to the user resource. Setting the `identity_resource` will cause extra validations to be applied to your resource so that changes are tracked correctly on sign-in or registration. ## Actions When using an OAuth 2.0 provider you need to declare either a "register" or "sign-in" action. The reason for this is that it's not possible for us to know ahead of time how you want to manage the link between your user resources and the "user info" provided by the OAuth server. Both actions receive the following two arguments: 1. `user_info` - a map with string keys containing the [OpenID Successful UserInfo response](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#UserInfoResponse). Usually this will be used to populate your email, nickname or other identifying field. 2. `oauth_tokens` a map with string keys containing the [OpenID Successful Token response](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#TokenResponse) (or similar). The actions themselves can be interacted with directly via the `AshAuthentication.Strategy` protocol, but you are more likely to interact with them via the web/plugs. ### Sign-in The sign-in action is called when a successful OAuth2 callback is received. You should use it to constrain the query to the correct user based on the arguments provided. This action is only needed when the `registration_enabled?` DSL settings is set to `false`. ### Registration The register action is a little more complicated than the sign-in action, because we cannot tell the difference between a new user and a returning user (they all use the same OAuth flow). In order to handle this your register action must be defined as an upsert with a configured `upsert_identity` (see example below). ### Examples: Providing sign-in to users who already exist in the database (and by extension rejecting new users): ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do attributes do uuid_primary_key :id attribute :email, :ci_string, allow_nil?: false end actions do read :sign_in_with_example do argument :user_info, :map, allow_nil?: false argument :oauth_tokens, :map, allow_nil?: false prepare AshAuthentication.Strategy.OAuth2.SignInPreparation filter expr(email == get_path(^arg(:user_info), [:email])) end end authentication do api MyApp.Accounts strategies do oauth2 :example do registration_enabled? false end end end end ``` Providing registration or sign-in to all comers: ```elixir defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do attributes do uuid_primary_key :id attribute :email, :ci_string, allow_nil?: false end actions do create :register_with_oauth2 do argument :user_info, :map, allow_nil?: false argument :oauth_tokens, :map, allow_nil?: false upsert? true upsert_identity :email change AshAuthentication.GenerateTokenChange change fn changeset, _ctx -> user_info = Ash.Changeset.get_argument(changeset, :user_info) changeset |> Ash.Changeset.change_attribute(:email, user_info["email"]) end end end authentication do api MyApp.Accounts strategies do oauth2 :example do end end end end ``` ## Plugs OAuth 2.0 is (usually) a browser-based flow. This means that you're most likely to interact with this strategy via it's plugs. There are two phases to authentication with OAuth 2.0: 1. The request phase, where the user's browser is redirected to the remote authentication provider for authentication. 2. The callback phase, where the provider redirects the user back to your app to create a local database record, session, etc. ## DSL Documentation OAuth2 authentication * `:name` (`t:atom/0`) - Required. Uniquely identifies the strategy. * `:client_id` - Required. The OAuth2 client ID. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir client_id fn _, resource -> :my_app |> Application.get_env(resource, []) |> Keyword.fetch(:oauth_client_id) end ``` * `:base_url` - The base URL of the OAuth2 server - including the leading protocol (ie `https://`). Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir base_url fn _, resource -> :my_app |> Application.get_env(resource, []) |> Keyword.fetch(:oauth_site) end ``` * `:site` - Deprecated: Use `base_url` instead. * `:auth_method` - The authentication strategy used, optional. If not set, no authentication will be used during the access token request. The value may be one of the following: * `:client_secret_basic` * `:client_secret_post` * `:client_secret_jwt` * `:private_key_jwt` Valid values are nil, :client_secret_basic, :client_secret_post, :client_secret_jwt, :private_key_jwt The default value is `:client_secret_post`. * `:client_secret` - The OAuth2 client secret. Required if :auth_method is `:client_secret_basic`, `:client_secret_post` or `:client_secret_jwt`. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir site fn _, resource -> :my_app |> Application.get_env(resource, []) |> Keyword.fetch(:oauth_site) end ``` * `:authorize_url` - Required. The API url to the OAuth2 authorize endpoint. Relative to the value of `site`. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir authorize_url fn _, _ -> {:ok, "https://exampe.com/authorize"} end ``` * `:token_url` - Required. The API url to access the token endpoint. Relative to the value of `site`. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir token_url fn _, _ -> {:ok, "https://example.com/oauth_token"} end ``` * `:user_url` - Required. The API url to access the user endpoint. Relative to the value of `site`. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. Example: ```elixir user_url fn _, _ -> {:ok, "https://example.com/userinfo"} end ``` * `:private_key` - The private key to use if `:auth_method` is `:private_key_jwt` Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. * `:redirect_uri` - Required. The callback URI base. Not the whole URI back to the callback endpoint, but the URI to your `AuthPlug`. We can generate the rest. Whilst not particularly secret, it seemed prudent to allow this to be configured dynamically so that you can use different URIs for different environments. Takes either a module which implements the `AshAuthentication.Secret` behaviour, a 2 arity anonymous function or a string. See the module documentation for `AshAuthentication.Secret` for more information. * `:authorization_params` (`t:keyword/0`) - Any additional parameters to encode in the request phase. eg: `authorization_params scope: "openid profile email"` The default value is `[]`. * `:registration_enabled?` (`t:boolean/0`) - Is registration enabled for this provider? If this option is enabled, then new users will be able to register for your site when authenticating and not already present. If not, then only existing users will be able to authenticate. The default value is `true`. * `:register_action_name` (`t:atom/0`) - The name of the action to use to register a user. Only needed if `registration_enabled?` is `true`. Because we we don't know the response format of the server, you must implement your own registration action of the same name. See the "Registration and Sign-in" section of the module documentation for more information. The default is computed from the strategy name eg: `register_with_#{name}`. * `:sign_in_action_name` (`t:atom/0`) - The name of the action to use to sign in an existing user. Only needed if `registration_enabled?` is `false`. Because we don't know the response format of the server, you must implement your own sign-in action of the same name.

The default is computed from the strategy name, eg: `sign_in_with_#{name}`. * `:identity_resource` - The resource used to store user identities. Given that a user can be signed into multiple different authentication providers at once we use the `AshAuthentication.UserIdentity` resource to build a mapping between users, providers and that provider's uid. See the Identities section of the module documentation for more information. Set to `false` to disable. The default value is `false`. * `:identity_relationship_name` (`t:atom/0`) - Name of the relationship to the provider identities resource The default value is `:identities`. * `:identity_relationship_user_id_attribute` (`t:atom/0`) - The name of the destination (user_id) attribute on your provider identity resource. The only reason to change this would be if you changed the `user_id_attribute_name` option of the provider identity. The default value is `:user_id`. * `:icon` (`t:atom/0`) - The name of an icon to use in any potential UI. This is a *hint* for UI generators to use, and not in any way canonical. The default value is `:oauth2`. ## authentication.strategies.oauth2 ```elixir oauth2 name \ :oauth2 ``` OAuth2 authentication ### Arguments
