JWKS endpoint of wso2 IS

What is JWKS endpoint?

The JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint is a read-only endpoint. This url returns the Identity Server's public key set in Json web key set format. This contains the signing key(s) the RP uses to validate signatures from the Identity Server. This endpoint is defined loosely by the OpenID Connect Discovery specification.

Try JWKS endpoint with Identity Server

The endpoint url for the super tenant:
https://localhost:9443/oauth2/jwks

The jwks for the super tenant will be as follows:
{
"keys": [
  {
    "alg": "RS256",
    "kty": "RSA",
    "use": "sig",
    "n": "AJSn-hXW9Zzz9ORBKIC9Oi6wzM4zhqwHaKW2vZAqjOeLlpUW7zXwyk4tkivwsydPNaWUm-9oDlEAB2lsQJv7jwWNsF7SGx5R03kenC-cf8Nbxlxwa-Tncjo6uruEsK_Vke244KiSCHP8BOuHI-r5CS0x9edFLgesoYlPPFoJxTs5",
    "e": "AQAB",
    "kid": "d0ec514a32b6f88c0abd12a2840699bdd3deba9d",
  }
]}

Here if we consider the values one by one:
alg  : stands for the algorithm for the public key of the related tenant domain.
kty  :  is the public key type.
use : is the way that the key is using. Here sig represents the signature
e    : is the exponent value of the public key
n    : is the modulus value of the public key
kid  : is the thumbprint of the certificate. This value is an identifier used in identifying the key to be used to verify the signature.


The jwks endpoint for a specific tenant domain will be changed as follows. Here the tenant domain is test.com.

From IS 5.2.0 this jwks endpoint can be used with Wso2 Identity Server.

    Hi,

    My issue is the following :
    In the case of a jwks without tenant, I have no problem of CORS (No Access Control-Allow-Origin). Because I have modified the web.xml file (repository/deployment/server/webapps/oauth2/WEB-INF/web.xml) with adding filter for cors.allowOrigin.
    With holding (ex: /t/example.com/oauth2/jwks) I have a CORS problem.

    Do you have a solution to activate the CORS in the case of a tenant?
    Thanks

Applying CORS Filter to wso2 Identity Server

When we are invoking an endpoint in oauth2 war from a javascript of a web app which is located in a different domain than identity server domain we are getting "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://XXXXXXX is therefore not allowed access." The issue is occurring as the script on your page is running from a specifc domain and would try to request the resource via an XmlHttpRequest or XDomainRequst from a different domain as this is a cross -origin request. In order to get rid of this we need to enable this by sending below header using a custom filter.  Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http: //example.com   (Here  http://example.com is the domain name of where page with that script is hosted) Invoking UserInfo endpoint of wso2 Identity Server from JavaScript We have two possible solutions to apply the CORS header.  1. Customizing OpenIDConnectUserEndpoint.java as below and replacing the oauth

Secure Wso2 ESB REST APIs using Kerberos

Image
When a consumer attempts to consume a REST API, if the API is secured using some authentication protocol (e.g Basic , Kerberos, NTLM) the consumer has to prove his authentication to the API by sending credentials or relevant token through authorization headers. By default ESB REST APIs does not include any security and from this blog post I will speak about how to make the APIs secured using kerberos. I have used main 3 components ;  Active Directory as the KDC , ESB server as the resource server and a C#.net client to invoke the rest APIs in ESB server. The design of the implementation is as below. The Design of the Kerberos Communication 1. Client tries to invoke the ESB proxy 2. The server responds with 401 unauthorized 3. Client requests a kerberos service ticket from active directory 4. If user is identified by the KDC (AD) it will send the SGT to the client 5. Client wraps the SPENEGO token in the request HTTP header and resend to ESB 6. ESB sees the HTTP header w
