Note: this is an abstract component that cannot be instantiated.
External Access Token Validators validate access tokens by communicating with an external validation server over HTTP or HTTPS.
The following External Access Token Validators are available in the server :
These External Access Token Validators inherit from the properties described below.
The External Access Token Validator component inherits from the Access Token Validator
The following components have a direct aggregation relation from External Access Token Validators:
The properties supported by this managed object are as follows:
| General Configuration Basic Properties: | Advanced Properties: |
|---|---|
| identity-mapper | subject-claim-name |
| description | |
| enabled | |
| evaluation-order-index | |
| authorization-server |
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Specifies the name of the Identity Mapper that should be used for associating user entries with Bearer token subject names. The claim name from which to obtain the subject (i.e. the currently logged-in user) may be configured using the subject-claim-name property. |
| Default Value | Requests must specify a fully qualified DN. No attempt will be made to map a user name to a DN. |
| Allowed Values | The DN of any Identity Mapper. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | A description for this Access Token Validator |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Indicates whether this Access Token Validator is enabled for use in Directory Server. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | When multiple Access Token Validators are defined for a single Directory Server, this property determines the evaluation order for determining the correct validator class for an access token received by the Directory Server. Values of this property must be unique among all Access Token Validators defined within Directory Server but not necessarily contiguous. Access Token Validators with a smaller value will be evaluated first to determine if they are able to validate the access token. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | An integer value. Lower limit is 0. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | Specifies the external server that will be used to aid in validating access tokens. In most cases this will be the Authorization Server that minted the token. |
| Default Value | Not specifying an authorization server implies that no external communication is required to validate access tokens. |
| Allowed Values | The DN of any HTTP External Server. |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
subject-claim-name (Advanced Property)
| Property Group | General Configuration |
| Description | The name of the token claim that contains the subject, i.e. the logged-in user in an access token. This property goes hand-in-hand with the identity-mapper property and tells the Identity Mapper which field to use to look up the user entry on the server. |
| Default Value | sub |
| Allowed Values | A string |
| Multi-Valued | No |
| Required | No |
| Admin Action Required | None. Modification requires no further action |
