Mapping adds a set of rules to map federation attributes to Keystone users and/or groups. An Identity Provider has exactly one mapping specified per protocol.
Mapping objects can be used multiple times by different combinations of Identity Provider and Protocol.
A rule hierarchy looks as follows:
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"<user> or <group>"
}
],
"remote": [
{
"<condition>"
}
]
}
]
}
The mapping engine can be tested before creating a federated setup. It can be tested with the keystone-manage mapping_engine command:
$ keystone-manage mapping_engine --rules <file> --input <file>
Mappings support 5 different types of conditions:
empty: The rule is matched to all claims containing the remote attribute type. This condition does not need to be specified.
any_one_of: The rule is matched only if any of the specified strings appear in the remote attribute type. Condition result is boolean, not the argument that is passed as input.
not_any_of: The rule is not matched if any of the specified strings appear in the remote attribute type. Condition result is boolean, not the argument that is passed as input.
blacklist: The rule allows all except a specified set of groups. Condition result is the argument(s) passed as input minus what was matched in the blacklist.
whitelist: The rules allows a specified set of groups. Condition result is the argument(s) passed as input and is/are also present in the whitelist.
Note
empty, blacklist and whitelist are the only conditions that can be used in direct mapping ({0}, {1}, etc.)
Multiple conditions can be combined to create a single rule.
The following are all examples of mapping rule types.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0} {1}",
"email": "{2}"
},
"group": {
"name": "{3}",
"domain": {
"id": "0cd5e9"
}
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "FirstName"
},
{
"type": "LastName"
},
{
"type": "Email"
},
{
"type": "OIDC_GROUPS"
}
]
}
]
}
Note
The numbers in braces {} are indices, they map in order. For example:
- Mapping to user with the name matching the value in remote attribute FirstName
- Mapping to user with the name matching the value in remote attribute LastName
- Mapping to user with the email matching value in remote attribute Email
- Mapping to a group(s) with the name matching the value(s) in remote attribute OIDC_GROUPS
Groups can have multiple values. Each value must be separated by a ; Example: OIDC_GROUPS=developers;testers
In <other_condition> shown below, please supply one of the following: any_one_of, or not_any_of.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
},
"group": {
"id": "0cd5e9"
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "HTTP_OIDC_GROUPIDS",
"<other_condition>": [
"HTTP_OIDC_EMAIL"
]
}
]
}
]
}
In <other_condition> shown below, please supply one of the following: blacklist, or whitelist.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
}
},
{
"groups": "{1}",
"domain": {
"id": "0cd5e9"
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "HTTP_OIDC_GROUPIDS",
"<other_condition>": [
"me@example.com"
]
}
]
}
]
}
Note
If the user id and name are not specified in the mapping, the server tries to directly map REMOTE_USER environment variable. If this variable is also unavailable the server returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error.
Group ids and names can be provided in the local section:
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"id":"0cd5e9"
}
}
]
}
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"name": "developer_group",
"domain": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
}
]
}
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"name": "developer_group",
"domain": {
"name": "private_cloud"
}
}
}
]
}
If a mapping is valid you will receive the following output:
{
"group_ids": "[<group-ids>]",
"user":
{
"domain":
{
"id": "Federated" or "<local-domain-id>"
},
"type": "ephemeral" or "local",
"name": "<local-user-name>",
"id": "<local-user-id>"
},
"group_names":
[
{
"domain":
{
"name": "<domain-name>"
},
"name":
{
"name": "[<groups-names>]"
}
}
{
"domain":
{
"name": "<domain-name>"
},
"name":
{
"name": "[<groups-names>]"
}
}
]
}
The type parameter specifies the type of user being mapped. The 2 possible user types are local and ephemeral.``local`` is displayed if the user has a domain specified. The user is treated as existing in the backend, hence the server will fetch user details (id, name, roles, groups).``ephemeral`` is displayed for a user that does not exist in the backend.
The id parameter in the service domain specifies the domain a user belongs to. Federated will be displayed if no domain is specified in the local rule. User is deemed ephemeral and becomes a member of service domain named Federated. If the domain is specified the local domain’s id will be displayed. If the mapped user is local, mapping engine will discard further group assigning and return set of roles configured for the user.
Note
Domain Federated is a service domain - it cannot be listed, displayed, added or deleted. There is no need to perform any operation on it prior to federation configuration.
Regular expressions can be used in a mapping by specifying the regex key, and setting it to true.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
},
"group": {
"id": "0cd5e9"
}
},
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "HTTP_OIDC_GROUPIDS",
"any_one_of": [
".*@yeah.com$"
]
"regex": true
}
]
}
]
}
This allows any user with a claim containing a key with any value in HTTP_OIDC_GROUPIDS to be mapped to group with id 0cd5e9.
Combinations of mappings conditions can also be done.
empty, any_one_of, and not_any_of can all be used in the same rule, but cannot be repeated within the same condition. any_one_of and not_any_of are mutually exclusive within a condition’s scope. So are whitelist and blacklist.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
},
"group": {
"id": "0cd5e9"
}
},
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "cn=IBM_Canada_Lab",
"not_any_of": [
".*@naww.com$"
],
"regex": true
},
{
"type": "cn=IBM_USA_Lab",
"any_one_of": [
".*@yeah.com$"
]
"regex": true
}
]
}
]
}
As before group names and users can also be provided in the local section.
This allows any user with the following claim information to be mapped to group with id 0cd5e9.
{"UserName":"<any_name>@yeah.com"}
{"cn=IBM_USA_Lab":"<any_name>@yeah.com"}
{"cn=IBM_Canada_Lab":"<any_name>@yeah.com"}
The following claims will be mapped:
Multiple rules can also be utilized in a mapping.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
},
"group": {
"name": "non-contractors",
"domain": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "orgPersonType",
"not_any_of": [
"Contractor",
"SubContractor"
]
}
]
},
{
"local": [
{
"user": {
"name": "{0}"
},
"group": {
"name": "contractors",
"domain": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserName"
},
{
"type": "orgPersonType",
"any_one_of": [
"Contractor",
"SubContractor"
]
}
]
}
]
}
The above assigns groups membership basing on orgPersonType values:
Rules are additive, so permissions will only be granted for the rules that succeed. All the remote conditions of a rule must be valid.
When using multiple rules you can specify more than one effective user identification, but only the first match will be considered and the others ignored ordered from top to bottom.
Since rules are additive one can specify one user identification and this will also work. The best practice for multiple rules is to create a rule for just user and another rule for just groups. Below is rules example repeated but with global username mapping.
{
"rules": [
{
"local": [
"user": {
"id": "{0}"
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "UserType"
}
]
},
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"name": "non-contractors",
"domain": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "orgPersonType",
"not_any_of": [
"Contractor",
"SubContractor"
]
}
]
},
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"name": "contractors",
"domain": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "orgPersonType",
"any_one_of": [
"Contractor",
"SubContractor"
]
}
]
}
]
}
Keystone to Keystone federation also utilizes mappings, but has some differences.
An attribute file (/etc/shibboleth/attribute-map.xml) is used to add attributes to the Keystone Identity Provider. Attributes look as follows:
<Attribute name="openstack_user" id="openstack_user"/>
<Attribute name="openstack_user_domain" id="openstack_user_domain"/>
The Keystone Service Provider must contain a mapping as shown below. openstack_user, and openstack_user_domain match to the attribute names we have in the Identity Provider. It will map any user with the name user1 or admin in the openstack_user attribute and openstack_domain attribute default to a group with id abc1234.
{
rules = [
{
"local": [
{
"group": {
"id": "abc1234"
}
}
],
"remote": [
{
"type": "openstack_user",
"any_one_of": [
"user1",
"admin"
]
},
{
"type":"openstack_user_domain",
"any_one_of": [
"Default"
]
}
]
}
]
}
The possible attributes that can be used in a mapping are openstack_user, openstack_user_domain, openstack_roles, openstack_project, and openstack_project_domain.
