AEM 6.4 - Oauth 2 legged authorization

Avatar

Level 4

Hi All, I am trying to implement Oauth authorization in AEM publisher for certain resources.   As per the link https://www.albinsblog.com/2017/07/exposing-resources-through-oauth-aem.html#.XJByjSIzbIW  I undestand AEM supports 3 legged Oauth. I want to try 2 legged(Client credentials) and didnt see any helping documents for the same.

Have someone already tried this. Can you please share some pointers to the same

Regards,

Anand

Hello Gaurav, Confimed by checking  the bundle "OSGi Bundle for Granite OAuth Server" that only 2 grant types are supported by Adobe for token generation.

1. AUTHORIZATION_CODE

2. REFRESH_TOKEN

3. JWT_BEARER

Per my understanding, the implementation is same as 3-legged except you won't pass token and secret but empty strings. Client Application will need to have its client ID and secret stored in a secure manner

Probably, you are missing required headers via POSTMAN. Make required config changes to CSRF and Sling Referrer Filter for testing via POSTMAN - allow empty headers for testing. Enable Postman Interceptor and check

Have you tested your setup with usual 3 legged config to rule out any configuration related issues?

Couple of examples --https://www.practicalaem.com/2016/02/02/using-oauth-authentication-in-aem/

Yes. I am trying 3 legged only now. Followin the steps here: https://www.albinsblog.com/2017/05/how-to-get-basic-profile-details-of-user-through-oauth.html#.XJHd...

Here the Receive the access token step is failing.  The post request to http://localhost:4502/oauth/token is failing from POSTMAN.

Could you please explain what step are you on based on the flow diagram @ Adobe Experience Manager Help | Developing OAuth Scopes in AEM

Did you pass correct parameters(grant_type, redirect_uri, client_id etc.) in POSTMAN?

After step 9  , While requesting for Access token , the post request is failing in POSTMAN. However as mentioned in the link that I have pointed out , I was able to generate the access token using curl command. So 3 legged flow is working as expected in AEM. However I tried 2 legged (client_credentials ). But got the below error.

json format example-

curl --request POST \ --url 'https://YOUR_DOMAIN/oauth/token' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --data '{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID","client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET","audience": "YOUR_API_IDENTIFIER"}'

I don't see "POST" in your screenshot.

Hi, just a question we are trying to implement oauth2 using client_credentials, is it already supported?

If that's the case, then you may reach out to DayCare and find out the reason/next steps.

Sure. Have already raised a ticket with Daycare

Hi Anand,

As discussed, currently AEM do not support the client_credentials flow and internal discussions have triggered for including but there is no short-sighted plan to support it in the near future.

Regards.
