How to Manage the Protected AEM Resources through OAuth 2.0 | OAuth 2.0 Server Functionalities in AEM — Deep Dive

This tutorial explains how to use Adobe Granite OAuth 2.0 Server functionalities to grant resource access to external clients in AEM(Adobe Experience Manager).

The OAuth 2.0 protocol allows the users to grant a third-party web site or application access to the user's protected resources without necessarily revealing their long term credentials or even their identity.

OAuth 2.0 allows clients to access user’s (resource owner’s) resources on resource servers via authorization servers in a secure, reliable, and efficient manner.

Adobe granite OAuth 2.0 server implementation(com.adobe.granite.oauth.server) provides the support for OAuth 2.0 server functionalities in AEM.

Access tokens are the thing that applications use to make API requests on behalf of a user. The access token represents the authorization of a specific application to access specific parts of a user’s data. The external application should receive the access token to access the protected user resources from AEM.

Grants

The OAuth 2.0 specification describes a number of grants (“methods”) for a client application to acquire an access token (which represents a user’s permission for the client to access their data) which can be used to authenticate a request to a protected resource.

The Granite OAuth Server supports the below grant types

  • Authorization Code

Authorization Code:

The authorization code is a temporary code that the client will exchange for an access token. The code itself is obtained from the authorization server where the user gets a chance to see what the information the client is requesting, and approve or deny the request.

When the user authorizes the application, they are redirected back to the application with a temporary code in the URL. The application exchanges that code for the access token. When the application makes the request for the access token. The application retrieves the required resources through the access token, the access token is short-lived e.g 1 hr.

Refresh Token

The Refresh Token grant type is used by clients to exchange a refresh token for an access token when the access token has expired.

This allows clients to continue to have a valid access token without further interaction with the user.

The user grants the approval once to get the refresh token, subsequently, the application request the access token whenever required and access the required resources without the user's online interaction.

JWT Bearer Token

JWT Bearer Token is mainly used for server to server integration, this will helps us to enable the server to server integration without the resource owner interaction e.g retrieve or upload files without user interactions.

The client forms the JWT Token with specific configuration data, the token should be signed by the AEM OAuth Client private key, and exchanges the token to the server to get the access token, the access token can be used to retrieve the protected resources.

Scopes

The scope is a mechanism in OAuth 2.0 to limit an application’s access to a user’s account. An application can request one or more scopes, this information is then presented to the user in the consent screen, and the access token issued to the application will be limited to the scopes granted.

The default scopes supported in AEM

  • Profile — Get the basic profile details on user authorization.

Custom Scopes

AEM supports to define custom scopes to provide additional access to the external applications, the extensible OAuth scopes allow access control the resources from a client application that is authorized by an end-user.

To define the custom scopes

  • Define a class implements com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.Scope or com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.ScopeWithPrivileges, extended Scope interface for scopes that defined required privileges on their content paths. The privileges defined in the scope will be created by the OAuth Server using the oauthservice user. It is the responsibility of the scope developer to ensure that oauthservice has the necessary privileges to do this.

OAuth End Points

OAuth Client Registration — http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/oauth/content/clients.html

Resource Owner Authorization Page — http://localhost:4502/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<ClientId>&scope=<scope>&redirect_uri=<Redirect URI>

Token End Point — http://localhost:4502/oauth/token

Profile Data — http://localhost:4502/libs/oauth/profile

Revoke Token — http://localhost:8080/libs/granite/oauth/revoke

Let us now enable the required configurations to enable different scenarios.

Enable OAuth Server Authentication Handler

As a first step enable the OAuth Server Authentication Handler, by default AEM won't enable the OAuth Server Authentication handler.

System Console →Main →JASS

To enable the OAuth Server Authentication Handler, change the “jaas.ranking.name” value to 1100 in “Adobe Granite OAuth Server Authentication Handler” and save the configuration — http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.auth.impl.OAuth2ServerAuthenticationHandler

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

OAuth Server Authentication Handler is enabled now.

Register OAuth Client

Register a new OAuth client through http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/oauth/content/clients.html — every external application requires OAuth authentication should be registered as a OAuth client in AEM.

Enter a name and redirect URI — After a user successfully authorizes an application, the OAuth server will redirect the user back to the application with an authorization code to the configured redirect URL.

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Copy the client id and client secret and keep them safe.

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Setup Demo User

Setup up a demo user with all possible profile data and required permissions — complete read-only access and full access for “/content/dam/digital”

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem
oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Profile Data

Let us now see how to retrieve the profile data of the user.

As a first step, access the authorization URL(in real scenario redirect the user to authorization URL when the user clicks on a link in the application) — http://localhost:4502/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=jgqd0beimj5q4ofi281cc56i6a-_d-xzn-e&scope=profile&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/testapp

If required, pass an additional parameter with name state with any random value e.g state=AlbinTest, the same state value will be returned in the response. This will helps us to verify the integrity of the data.

Login with the demo user created in the earlier step, this will display the authorization screen with permissions granted to the external application.

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Now the user authorize the request, the user will be returned to the client application with authorization code as the parameter.

http://localhost:8080/testapp?code=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJqZ3FkMGJlaW1qNXE0b2ZpMjgxY2M1Nmk2YS1fZC14em4tZSIsInN1YiI6ImFsYmluIiwiZXhwIjoxNTk3MTEyNzcxLCJpYXQiOjE1OTcxMTIxNzEsInNjb3BlIjoicHJvZmlsZSIsImN0eSI6ImNvZGUifQ.aX1fRez64FmY5dMdIuoTP3QpQhjc5Kyo50TJzZJ7fT4&state=null

Now get the access token through the authorization code, I am using curl command for demo

curl -H “Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded” -d “code=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJqZ3FkMGJlaW1qNXE0b2ZpMjgxY2M1Nmk2YS1fZC14em4tZSIsInN1YiI6ImFsYmluIiwiZXhwIjoxNTk3MTEzMTI4LCJpYXQiOjE1OTcxMTI1MjgsInNjb3BlIjoicHJvZmlsZSIsImN0eSI6ImNvZGUifQ.TbsP8xptOPwcYpJKK-STkVJ2E6_62MbhRf0_2otV21o&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/testapp&client_id=jgqd0beimj5q4ofi281cc56i6a-_d-xzn-e&client_secret=mpuprfm0rob20ed5cv87bhfoe4http://localhost:4502/oauth/token

DAM Read & Write — Custom Scopes

Let us now enable a custom scope to read the DAM data, configure as required and deploy the scope

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.Scope;
import com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.ScopeWithPrivileges;
@Component(service=Scope.class)
public class DAMReadScope implements ScopeWithPrivileges{

private static final String DAM_RESOURCE_URI="/content/dam/digital";
private static final String DAM_RESOURCE_READ_SCOPE_NAME="dam_read";

public DAMReadScope()
{

}
@Override
public String getDescription(HttpServletRequest arg0) {

}
@Override
public String getResourcePath(User user) {
return DAM_RESOURCE_URI;
}
@Override
public String[] getPrivileges() {
return new String[] {"jcr:read"};
}
}

Enable the required access to “oauthservice” service user, I am enabling the read access for root folder “/”, and full access for /content/dam/digital folder(ReadACL is mandatory for the folder configured in the Scope).

Now retrieve the asset data through the access token

curl -H “Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJnNmIzajl2aTk4bDM5ZmFvNzFpdmc0aDlraC1xM2dydGdoaCIsImlzcyI6IkFkb2JlIEdyYW5pdGUiLCJzdWIiOiJhbGJpbm9hdXRoIiwiZXhwIjoxNTk3MjA5MTM5LCJpYXQiOjE1OTcyMDU1MzksInNjb3BlIjoiZGFtX3JlYWQiLCJjdHkiOiJhdCJ9.kVtKYwG_d-CyQNTCF1D1PaeBoUEZ_JCQAj8AqOk9D74” http://localhost:4502/content/dam/digital/en/asset.jpg > asset.jpg

The specified asset is now downloaded to local machine.

Let us now enable a custom scope to upload the DAM data, configure as required and deploy the scope

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.Scope;

@Override
public String getResourcePath(User user) {
return DAM_RESOURCE_URI;
}
@Override
public String[] getPrivileges() {
return new String[] {"rep:write","jcr:read"};
}
}

The required access to the service user — “oauthservice” is already enabled.

As a first step, access the authorization URL and receive the authorization code(refer the profile data section for more details)

http://localhost:4502/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=jgqd0beimj5q4ofi281cc56i6a-_d-xzn-e&scope=dam_write&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/testapp

Offline Access

Let us now retrieve the offline token to access the resources without resource owner interaction every time. I am going to receive the offline access token to fetch the user’s profile data whenever required. The offline_access scope should be combined with other scopes e.g profile to fetch the offline token that can be used whenever required to fetch authorized scope data offline e.g profile

As a first step, access the authorization URL and receive the authorization code to fetch the basic user profile data offline(refer the profile data section for more details)

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Receive the Access Token/refresh token(offline access token)with the authorization code

curl -H “Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded” -d “code=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJnNmIzajl2aTk4bDM5ZmFvNzFpdmc0aDlraC1xM2dydGdoaCIsInN1YiI6ImFsYmlub2F1dGgiLCJleHAiOjE1OTcyNjQ0MDksImlhdCI6MTU5NzI2MzgwOSwic2NvcGUiOiJvZmZsaW5lX2FjY2Vzcyxwcm9maWxlIiwiY3R5IjoiY29kZSJ9.ktynif6GQOlldITxizCioLntyj5SiI8QCOW_KcyODWI&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8080/testapp&client_id=g6b3j9vi98l39fao71ivg4h9kh-q3grtghh&client_secret=83lsvr0glu3opumdthijrnudl8http://localhost:4502/oauth/token

The access token can be used to fetch the user’s profile data(or other scope data authorized by users)

JWT Bearer Token— Server to Server integration

Let us now see how to use the JWT Bearer token to enable the server to server integration without the resource owner’s intervention.

As a first step, download the AEM OAuth client private key to sign the JWT bearer token also note the private key password(keep the private key and password safe)

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Now generate the public certificate from the downloaded private key, execute the below command — Enter the private key password.

openssl pkcs12 -in store.p12 -out store.crt.pem -clcerts -nokeys

Extract the private key

openssl pkcs12 -in store.p12 -passin pass:notasecret -nocerts -nodes -out store.private.key.txt

Let us now create a JWT token signed with the private key generated in the previous step.

You can use any JWT libraries to generate the JWT token for real scenario’s but I am using https://jwt.io/ for demo.

Header

{
"alg": "RS256",
"typ": "JWT"
}

Payload

{
"aud": "<Token Endpoint",
"iss": "<Client Id>",
"sub": "<user name>",
"exp": <Current time in Milliseconds+expiry>,
"iat": <Current time in Milliseconds>,
"scope": "<scope>",
"cty": "code"
}

Enter the public certificate and the private key generated in the previous step.

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Now the JWT token is ready, the token can be used to retrieve the access token from AEM.

Now you should be able to download the assets from /content/dam/digital through the access token(based on the scope used while generating the JWT token)

curl -H “Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJhdWQiOiJnNmIzajl2aTk4bDM5ZmFvNzFpdmc0aDlraC1xM2dydGdoaCIsImlzcyI6IkFkb2JlIEdyYW5pdGUiLCJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbiIsImV4cCI6MTU5NzI3NzYwNSwiaWF0IjoxNTk3Mjc0MDA1LCJzY29wZSI6ImRhbV9yZWFkIiwiY3R5IjoiYXQifQ.g-AXNazPxnAP1VbB8Ym1NB_UFW2MuCmYvsPWuZY-jfQ” http://localhost:4502/content/dam/digital/en/asset.jpg > asset.jpg

Token Revocation

The access token granted by the OAuth authorization server(AEM) can be used by the clients to access the protected resources from AEM. Sometimes we may need to revoke the access tokens granted to the clients due to various reasons, AEM provides different options to revoke the tokens.

Client Token Revocation — Revoke all the access tokens granted under specific OAuth client. In this scenario, the tokens can be revoked by the user who created/manages the OAuth client in AEM(my case “admin” user).

As a first step, enable the client revocation through system console — “Adobe Granite OAuth Client Token Revocation Endpoint” http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.impl.OAuth2ClientRevocationServlet

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Now you should have “Revoke All Tokens” option in OAuth Clients to revoke all the access tokens issued for that specific client.

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Revoking Individual Tokens — Revoke the specific individual tokens granted to the clients.

As a first step, enable the individual token revocation through system console — “Adobe Granite OAuth Token Revocation Endpoint” http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.impl.OAuth2RevocationEndpointServlet

Image for post

Now the individual token revocation is enabled, the individual tokens can be revoked through — http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/oauth/content/tokens.html. The individual tokens should be revoked by the user who granted the access tokens, in my case “albin”

oauth-server-functionalities-in-aem

Revoking Individual Tokens through Service — AEM provides API to revoke the access tokens granted to the clients.

As a first step, enable the API revocation through system console — “Adobe Granite OAuth Revocation Endpoint” http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr/com.adobe.granite.oauth.server.impl.OAuth2RevocationEndpointServlet. The individual token should be revoked by the user who granted the access tokens, in my case “albin”
