  • The JS7 - Identity Services offer management of user accounts for authentication and authorization.
  • The OIDC Identity Service integration is available from JOC Cockpit:
    • As a prerequisite JOC Cockpit has to be set up for JS7 - JOC Cockpit HTTPS Connections.
    • OIDC compliant Identity Providers can be used for authentication, for example Microsoft Azure®.
    • JS7 implements a client for use with OIDC Identity Providers. JS7 does not ship with an OIDC Identity Provider.

Terminology

The OIDC protocol knows of the following roles involved in authentication:

The following integration level is available from the OIDC Identity Service Type:

Explanation:

  • Service Type: OIDC-JOC
    • Management of user accounts with passwords is performed by the OIDC Identity Provider
    • The assignment of roles to user accounts is performed by the JOC Cockpit Application.
      • This is provided by the Accounts View where the a the roles are assigned to the known accounts .
    • The JOC Cockpit stores user accounts and role assignments: in the JS7 - Database.
    • The JOC Cockpit does not know passwords of user accounts or the access tokens of successful authentication.
  • Service Type: OIDC
    • Management of user accounts with passwords is performed by the OIDC Identity Provider
    • The assignment of roles to user accounts is performed by the JOC Cockpit Application.
      • The accounts view is not provided when using OIDC 
      • The assignment of roles to accounts is provided by the group roles mapping editor in the "Manage Settings View" of the OIDC Identity Service.
    • The JOC Cockpit does not store user accounts and role assignments. This is done by the the OIDC Identity Provider
    • The JOC Cockpit does not know passwords of user accounts or the access tokens of successful authentication.

Group roles mapping

Roles are assigned to accounts via the editor for assigning group roles in the "Manage settings" view of the OIDC identity service.

A list of claims containing the groups configured in the OIDC provider can be defined. The available claims can be checked by checking the JW token during registration.

During assignment, the groups from the OIDC provider are assigned to the roles defined in the identity service. Any number of roles can be assigned to each group.

Having added an OIDC Identity Service, it is necessary to add settings for the OIDC integration from the Identity Service's Manage Settings action menu item:

For use with the OIDC Identity Service Type:

  • the OIDC Identity Provider product has to be accessible for JOC Cockpit and
  • a number of settings have to be specified

NameValueDescriptionExample
OIDC NameThe name of the OIDC Identity Service.The name of the Identity Service is used by JOC Cockpit to show the caption of the assigned login button.Google, Keycloak
OIDC Authentication URLThe URL used by the Client to login to the OIDC Identity Provider.This URL is called by the Client for login and returns the Access Token from the OIDC Identity Provider. It is similarly used when reading settings of the OIDC Identity Provider with the /.well-known/openid-configuration URL and is used as the issuer during token verification.

Keycloak: https://keycloak:8283/auth/realms/JOC

Azure: https://sts.windows.net/<tenant-id>/.well-known/openid-configuration

OIDC Client IDThe Client ID is configured in the OIDC Identity Provider.The Client ID is used for a number of calls to to the OIDC Identity Provider.

OIDC User Name AttributeThe attribute is configured with the OIDC Identity Service.

The attribute is returned by the OIDC Identity Service and identifies the user account. 

  • The following strategy is applied to identify the attribute used to map to the JOC Cockpit account:
    • the URL https://<identity-provider>/.well-known/openid-configuration is called.
    • the response is checked for the object claims_supported
      • if not available or empty then the email attribute will be used
      • if available and if it includes the preferred_username attribute then this attribute will be used.
    • if no attribute has been identified then the email attribute is used.
  • Should this not result in an identifiable user account then users can specify the name attribute such with the OIDC settings. Frequently OIDC Identity Providers support attribute names such as username or email.

OIDC ImageAn image can be uploaded that is displayed with the login page.

Optionally an image can be uploaded. .


OIDC Truststore PathThe Path to a truststore.

A truststore can be indicated and has to include an X.509 certificate specified for the Extended Key Usage of Server Authentication for the Identity Provider.

    • For connections to well known OIDC Identity Providers such as Azure® users should specify the path to the Java cacerts truststore file that ships with the Java JDK used with JOC Cockpit.
    • The truststore can include a
    • Self-signed
    • Certificate from a Private CA or Public CA. Typically the
    • CA
    • Certificate is used as otherwise the complete certificate chain involved in signing the Server Authentication Certificate has to be available with the truststore.
    • If this setting is not specified then the JOC Cockpit will use the truststore that is configured with the JETTY_BASE/resources/joc/joc.properties configuration file. This includes use of settings for the truststore password and truststore type.
    • The path to the truststore can be specified relative to the JETTY_BASE/resources/joc directory. If the truststore is located in this directory then only the file name is specified, typically with a .p12 or .pfx extension. Other relative locations can be specified using, for example, ../../joc-truststore.p12 if the truststore is located in the JETTY_BASE directory.
    • An absolute path can be specified.
Use of Java truststore: /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk/lib/security/cacerts
OIDC Truststore PasswordTruststore passwordIf the indicated truststore is protected by a password then the password has to be specified.Use of Java truststore: changeit
OIDC Truststore TypeTruststore type

The type of the truststore is either PKCS12 or JKS (deprecated).

Use of Java truststore: PKCS12

OIDC Login

Once OIDC Identity Services have been configured they are displayed in JOC Cockpit's login screen like this: 

...

  • client-id: The Client ID which is configured in the JOC Cockpit Identity Service.
  • client-secret: The Client Secret which is configured in the JOC Cockpit Identity Service.
  • redirect-urls: The list of allowed URLs for redirection after authentication by the Client. Note that the URL of each JOC Cockpit instance has to be specified for clustered JOC Cockpit instances. For JOC Cockpit, the protocol (HTTP, HTTPS), host and port is specified as the URL, for example https://joc-2-0-primary:4446.

Registration of the Client is performed once in the lifetime of an OIDC Identity Service.
