Spring Day | Identity Management with Spring Security | Dave Syer
- 1. Identity Management with Spring Security Dave Syer, VMware, SpringOne 2011
- 2. Overview ● What is Identity Management? ● Is it anything to do with Security? ● Some existing and emerging standards ● Relevant features of Spring Security and other Spring projects ● Common use cases ● Demo of prototype IDM system COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 3. Agenda ● Core domain: ● Authentication, identity, trust, delegation, claim, authorization ● SSO ● Identity Management ● Standards: ● SAML ● OpenID ● OAuth, OAuth2 ● OpenID Connect ● SCIM ● JWT ● Spring Security and other projects ● Use cases (Google, Facebook, CloudFoundry) and demos ● IDM as a Service COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 4. Demo Code $ git clone git://gist.github.com/1316904.git COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 5. Authentication ● You say you are Fred Bloggs? Can you prove it? ● Human-human interactions ● Official document (passport, driving licence, etc.) ● We actually call it “ID” ● Letter of introduction ● Word of mouth, friend of a friend ● Machine-human interactions ● Something you know, hopefully unguessable, maybe random, e.g. username/password ● Something you have, e.g. one Time Password (OTP) from RSA hard/soft token ● Multifactor authentication ● Machine-machine interactions COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 6. Typical System Architecture “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User APP DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 7. Fred Accesses his Photos COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 8. Two Apps, No Shared Authentication “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User APP1 “I'm Fred, can I buy a book?” APP2 DB User details store DB COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 9. Two Apps, Shared User Details “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User APP1 “I'm Fred, can I buy a book?” APP2 DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 10. Two Apps, Single Sign On “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User APP1 “I'm Fred, can I buy a book?” APP2 SSO DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 11. All Apps are Single Sign On: Example Flow the same ● Explicit authentication required on first visit ● Avoidable subsequently if App can store token – but then with multiple apps you have distributed state This is unavoidable COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 12. Two Apps, Single Sign On with Separate Authentication “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User APP1 “I'm Fred, can I buy a book?” AUTH APP2 SSO DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 13. SSO With Spring Security ● Good support for CAS ● Many custom implementations for commercial products like SiteMinder ● Field is fragmented ● OpenID... COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 14. Trust ● You say you are Fred Bloggs? Can you prove it? ● Oh, I remember, Martha said you're alright. Come in... ● I trust Martha, USDOT, UKPA, etc, to verify Fred's identity ● Why? ● Because I know them, and they say they know Fred. COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 15. Consumer Trusts Provider “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User Consumer, APP Relying Party IDP Provider DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 16. Simplified User-App-IDP Interaction COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 17. So What did we Gain with an Identity Provider? ● App no longer has to do authentication or keep record of secure information about users ● User only has to type secrets into a known trusted site (e.g. Google) ● Separation of concerns ● Abstraction always comes at a cost ● Increased complexity – more to understand, more to maintain, more to go wrong ● Complexity and Security are uneasy bedfellows ● Hence there are standards that cover this interaction COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 18. Complexity: Schematic Actual Conversation COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 19. Complexity: HTTP Protocol Actual Conversation COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 20. Compare: Native Authentication COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 21. OpenID “I'm Fred, show me my photos” User Relying Party APP OpenID Provider DB User details store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 22. OpenID ● Protocol for attribute exchange ● Sits on top of HTTP(S) ● Form plus JSONish on back channel (attribute fetch) ● Form data and redirects on front channel ● Does not specify authentication (up to the Provider) ● Does not require pre-registration of Relying Parties (Apps) ● Implemented in various languages, e.g. Java->OpenID4J (Google code) ● Support in Spring Security for Relying Party COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 23. Spring Security OpenID RP <http xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"> ... <openid-login login-page="/openid" user-service-ref="registeringUserService" authentication-failure-url="/login_error.jsp"> <attribute-exchange identifier-match=".*"> <openid-attribute name="email" Type="http://schema.openid.net/contact/email" required="true" /> <openid-attribute name="fullname" type="http://schema.openid.net/namePerson" required="true" /> </attribute-exchange> </openid-login> </http> COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011

- 25. SSO with OpenID No user input required here if IDP is stateful COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 26. Delegation and Client Authorization ● So Fred told you to come and pick up his order? ● You say you're Martha? Show me some ID. ● And what about some documentation about the order? Resource Owner Client (e.g. a service provider) Scope of responsibility COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 27. Delegation and Client Authorization ● An App needs to access Fred's resources on his behalf ● Resources live in a protected Resource Server (API) ● Fred is the Resource Owner: he can read and write his resources if he logs into the API himself ● But App is the Client of the API service not Fred, and Fred doesn't want to grant App write access ● Resource Server can grant App access to a restricted Scope of activity ● Fred authorizes the App to read his Resources ● App gets an Access Token that enables it to act on behalf of Fred ● Where does it get the token from? An Authorization Server COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 28. Delegation “I'm Fred, show me my photos” Resource Client APP Owner Token API Resource Server Token Authorization AUTH Services Server COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 29. Example Token Services using Shared Storage “I'm Fred, show me my photos” Resource Client APP Owner Token API Resource Server AUTH Authorization Server DB Token Store COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 30. Delegation Standards ● SAML 1.0, 2.0 ● XML ● back channel Need key exchange ● cryptography ● Spring Security SAML, Service Provider = Resource Server only ● OAuth 1.0a ● plain text ● back channel Nonce and request token ● cryptography ● Spring Security OAuth (consumer and provider) ● OAuth 2 ● JSON (plus optional custom formats) ● no back channel in spec (but need token services in practice) ● clear text (need SSL), plus extensions ● Spring Security OAuth (consumer and provider) COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 31. OAuth2 ● Client /app GET /api/photos Authorization: Bearer FDSHGK78JH356G ● Resource Server /api authenticated: 200 OK ... unauthenticated: 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm=”/auth” COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 32. OAuth2 Acquiring an Access Token ● Grant Types ● Password ● Authorization Code ● Refresh Token ● Implicit ● Client Credentials ● Others allowed as extensions, e.g. SAML assertion COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 33. OAuth2 Grant Type: Password ● Resource Server /api GET /auth/token?response_type=password&username=......&... Authorization: Basic asdsdfggghf= ● Authorization Server /auth Client credentials ● Token Endpoint 200 OK { “access_token” : “JAHDGFJH78IOUY”, “token_type” : “bearer”, “expires_in” : “3600” } COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011

- 38. OAuth2 Grant Type: Authorization Code, Explicit Authorization The spec doesn't say how this happens, just that it does, e.g: ???? COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
- 39. OAuth2: More Detail and Options ● Grant type ● Password – native apps, fixed authentication ● Authorization Code – webapps with browser redirects ● Refresh Token – optional for tokens issued with Auth Code ● Implicit – script clients in webapps, native apps ● Client Credentials – service peers ● Other, e.g. SAML ● Token type ● Bearer ● Other, e.g. MAC ● Scope ● Arbitrary string. Signifies something to Resource Server about which resources are available. C.f. “audience” in SAML. ● State COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011

- 43. OpenID Connect ● Similar to OpenID in the role that it plays, but not in any other way related ● Uses OAuth2 as a protocol for attribute exchange ● Google, Salesforce, etc. behind spec ● OAuth2 endpoints: ● /authorize ● /token ● OpenID endpoints are OAuth2 protected resources: ● /userinfo ● /check_id ● Clients obtain access token with scope=openid ● OAuth /token endpoint includes id token in response as well as access token ● Responses in JSON or JWT (=encrypted JSON) ● Not implemented in Spring project (yet), SECOAUTH or SEC COPYRIGHT VMWARE, INC, 2011
