auth_uri¶

Type:	string
Default:	<None>

Complete “public” Identity API endpoint. This endpoint should not be an “admin” endpoint, as it should be accessible by all end users. Unauthenticated clients are redirected to this endpoint to authenticate. Although this endpoint should ideally be unversioned, client support in the wild varies. If you’re using a versioned v2 endpoint here, then this should not be the same endpoint the service user utilizes for validating tokens, because normal end users may not be able to reach that endpoint. This option is deprecated in favor of www_authenticate_uri and will be removed in the S release.

Warning

Reason:	The auth_uri option is deprecated in favor of www_authenticate_uri and will be removed in the S release.

Determines the frequency at which the list of revoked tokens is retrieved from the Identity service (in seconds). A high number of revocation events combined with a low cache duration may significantly reduce performance. Only valid for PKI tokens. This option has been deprecated in the Ocata release and will be removed in the P release.

Reason:	PKI token format is no longer supported.

Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.

Type:	boolean
Default:	false

If true, the revocation list will be checked for cached tokens. This requires that PKI tokens are configured on the identity server.

Reason:	PKI token format is no longer supported.

hash_algorithms¶

Type:	list
Default:	md5

The hashes will be tried in the order given, so put the preferred one first for performance. The result of the first hash will be stored in the cache. This will typically be set to multiple values only while migrating from a less secure algorithm to a more secure one. Once all the old tokens are expired this option should be set to a single value for better performance.

Warning

Reason:	PKI token format is no longer supported.

service_token_roles¶

Type:	list

Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token. Roles here are applied as an ANY check so any role in this list must be present. For backwards compatibility reasons this currently only affects the allow_expired check.

service_token_roles_required¶

Type:	boolean
Default:	false

For backwards compatibility reasons we must let valid service tokens pass that don’t pass the service_token_roles check as valid. Setting this true will become the default in a future release and should be enabled if possible.
