Hello, I have the following setup: Ping server -> external https url (something like https://pingfederate.mydomain.com) – through an apache reverse proxy. Real server is pingfederate001.internal.com. APIman -> external https url (something like https://apiman.mydomain.com) through ab apache reverse proxy. Real server is apiman001.internal.com. I am trying to replace keycloak with ping federate in APIMan. I have -Disabled the integrated Keycloak. -Changed the <kc:auth-server-url>https://pingfederate.mydomain.com/as/token.oauth2&l... <https://pingfederate.mydomain.com/as/token.oauth2%3c/kc:auth-server-url&g... However, when I access I see the following as the redirect – which is clearly wrong: https://pingfederate.mydomain.com/as/token.oauth2/relams/apiman/protocol/... with the following parameters: response_type=code client_id=apimanui redirect_uri=http://apiman001.internal.com I looked the code for the keycloak plugin but can’t seem to see where the redirect is generated or set. I assume it is some additional properties or settings that I have to do or change code for so I can generate a Ping friendly redirect url etc. Appreciate any help or any pointers.

Hello, I am trying to use Ping Federate for both login and for the API restrictions. I understand that integrating into Ping Federate might not be trivial and might require some hacking into the APIMan code. I have created a sample java app that does the SP initiated login for ping federate that works. However with APIMan I am lost as to where to start ... I tried to look at the apiman-plugin-keycloak-oauth-policy to see but I suspect that it will take me some time to trace through it and figured that people working on the product might be able to get me started quicker. In short, happy to help hack on the code but will need the touch points. I assume there is some code somewhere that checks if the token already exists and if not then generates the auth request, gets the access code, validates the code and generates the token?

To be clear, you are trying to replace Keycloak as the authentication mechanism for logging into the apiman UI, correct? I can't say I know how to configure a web application to use pingfederate for authenticaiton (never done that before). But I can tell you that it's likely that you will not be able to use the settings in standalone-apiman.xml because those are configuration settings for the keycloak auth client adapter. The client adapter is the keycloak specific client that handles authentication redirects to the auth server. I *assume* this adapter is keycloak-specific. In order to get pingfederate working I must assume that they (pingfederate) have some documentation for how to configure a java web application for authentication. Sadly their documentation server seems to be broken at the moment. I'll warn you that, while I'm sure using pingfederate is *possible*, it is probably not trivial. You may need to contribute some code to apiman in order to enable support in the UI, for example. If hacking some code is not a daunting prospect then I'd be happy to help point you in the direction of all the authentication touch points... -Eric On 1/25/2016 3:18 PM, Amit Joshi wrote: > Hello, > > I have the following setup: > > Ping server -> external https url (something like > https://pingfederate.mydomain.com) - through an apache reverse proxy. > Real server is pingfederate001.internal.com. > > APIman -> external https url (something like > https://apiman.mydomain.com) through ab apache reverse proxy.

Hello, Thanks for the help. I am checking with the internal folks to check that I can share out the PF code (I don’t anticipate any issues but need to make sure). I read through the code a little bit and it appears that the best approach would be to have a Openidc adapter (since Ping Federate supports that directly). I am looking at the Keycloak adapter to see if I can use that code or whether there is some other library that will provide Openidc support directly into JEE - I am more familiar with Spring where Oauth2 support for external Oauth2 servers is part of Spring Security. I was thinking of looking at pac4j (http://www.pac4j.org/) that is Apache 2 licensed and claims to have full security token support (Oauth, Openid Connect, ...) for JEE. The approach I was thinking of: 1.Use the library to get a login security filter, replacing the KeyCloakLoginModule. 2.Save the token similar to Keycloak 3.Reuse the token for the API authentication. 4.If that works then it should be able to authenticate against pretty much any other implementation (I would suspect even against Keycloak) directly. Let me know what you think of the approach.

Happy to help (and then reap the benefits of your work in apiman!). :) We need to split the problem up into two. The first (and probably harder) problem is supporting PF as an authentication mechanism for apiman. The second problem is protecting managed APIs with PF. #1 Apiman Auth via PF --------------------- * Can you share your PF sample java app? * There are three WARs that will need to be protected: - apiman.war - apiman-gateway-api.war - apimanui.war * !!!!!! Let's focus first on "apimanui.war", which is a standard java web application. !!!!!!!! * We will need to secure the WAR with PF *and* provide a PF-specific impl of ISecurityContext. There are two impls thus far, DefaultSecurityContext and KeycloakSecurityContext. If the PF authentication code puts the auth principal and roles into the servlet request, then you can use DefaultSecurityContext. If not, a custom impl may be required (see the KC impl for more info). http://bit.ly/1ZZAmwW * The security context is configured here: http://bit.ly/1KAvu51 * After the user logs into the UI, the UI will then use the oauth bearer token to make authenticated calls directly from the UI to the API Manager REST layer. This bearer token is periodically refreshed by making a call to the /apimanui/ context to get a new token. This is what is called: ITokenGenerator * Assuming PF uses bearer tokens, we'll need a PF implementation of the above interface. See KeyCloakBearerTokenGenerator for more information. * Note: the keycloak plugin you are looking at is *not* the code that is called when logging into apiman. For that, you'd have to look at the keycloak adapter code: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/adapters #2 Protected Managed APIs with PF --------------------------------- * Our OAuth support is a keycloak-specific apiman policy that I think you've already discovered: https://github.com/apiman/apiman-plugins/tree/master/keycloak-oauth-policy * Adding PF authentication support will require a *new* plugin specific to PF. ------------------- OK that's a lot, I know. Let's start with your PF enabled java app and try to apply those principals to the API Manager UI. -Eric On 1/25/2016 3:47 PM, Amit Joshi wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to use Ping Federate for both login and for the API restrictions. > > I understand that integrating into Ping Federate might not be trivial and might require some hacking into the APIMan code.
