I'm currently working on a new credential SPI that will replace
existing
methods on UserProvider and UserModel, as well as replacing
UserCredentialModel, etc. This is a work in progress where we may see
multiple iterations in master. I hope to remain backward compatible, but
can't guarentee I won't break existing User Federation Providers. Here's
an initial writeup to explain things. Credentials revolve around these 4
events that are initiated by authentication flows, the admin console, and
the account service.
* Is the user configured for a specific credential type
* Is a credential valid
* What required actions must be taken for an unconfigured credential type
* update a credential
How each of these events is resolved will depend on the configuration of
the system and these interfaces:
public interface CredentialInput {
String getType();
}
public interface CredentialInputValidator {
boolean supportsCredentialType(String credentialType);
boolean isConfiguredFor(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, String credentialType);
boolean isValid(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, CredentialInput input);
}
public interface CredentialInputUpdater {
boolean supportsCredentialType(String credentialType);
Set<String> requiredActionsFor(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, String
credentialType);
void updateCredential(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, CredentialInput input);
}
Two different types of components will be able to implement these
interfaces. UserStorageProviders (user federation) and
CredentialProviders. CredentialProviders are components configured at the
realm level. CredentialProviders are responsible for managing one or more
types of credential types and are the bridge between CredentialInput and
where the credential is stored. UserStorageProvider is always asked first
whether it can complete the requested action, then CredentialProviders are
queried in order of their priority.
Each UserStorageProvider and/or CredentialProvider can implement the
OnUserCache callback interface discussed in my previous custom caching
email. This allows each credential type to decide whether it will be
cached or not along with the user. For example, HOTP cannot be cached.
So, for example, there will be a KeycloakMobileOTPProvider. This deals
with Google Authenticator and FreeOTP as well as storing these things
within Keycloak storage, it also looks at the OTP policy of the realm to
determine how to update and store the OTP secret and stuff. There is also
a KeycloakPasswordProvider which hooks into Keycloak storage and the
PasswordPolicies set up by the realm. When a user is cached, the
KeycloakPasswordProvider will add the hashed password to the user cache,
the KeycloakMobileOTPProvider will add the OTP secret to cache if its not
HOTP and needs to maintain a counter.
Let's walk through an authentication flow, specificaly for OTP.
1. Authenticator calls KeycloakSession.users().isConfiguredFor(realm,
user, "OTP"). If the user was loaded by a UserStorageProvider and that
provider implements the CredentialInputValidator interface,
isConfiguredFor() is called on that. If that returns false, each
CredentialProvider is iterated on to call isConfiguredFor().
2. If OTP is required and not configured for the user, the Authenticator
then calls KeycloakSession.users().requiredActionsFor(...). Again,
UserStorageProvider is queried first, then the CredneitalProviders. The
first provider that returns a non-empty set will end the query and the set
of required actions will be returned.
3a. Let's say that in this particular example, the generic OTP Requried
Action screen is invoked. In that case, this required action provider
callsKeycloakSession.users().updateCredential. The first
UserStorageProvider or CredentialProvider that can handle this credential
type will save the credential.
3b. If OTP is configured for user, the OTP is obtained by the
Authenticator and KeycloakSession.users().isValid() method is called.
Again, UserStorageProvider first, then each CredentialProvider. Each
provider is queried until one returns true or the list is exhausted. FYI,
This algorithm allows for multiple OTP authenticators per user.
** Admin console and Account Service UIs **
Like we do for other components, the UserStorageProvider or
CredentialProvider can optionally provide a list of
ProviderConfigProperties for the admin console and/or account serviceso
that it can create a credential for a specific user. There will be
separate property lists for admin console and account service. If a
specific custom screen is desired, I'm pretty sure we can just allow the
develoepr to plug in their own $routeProvider for the admin console. We
don't have a pluggable mechanism for the account service yet (or a way to
generic render either). This will need to be developed eventually.
Extending admin console is fine in community, but would be hard to support.
Especially as we would eventually have to move to AngularJS 2.0, which
drastically changes things. I also wonder if we should provide an higher
level extension to register extensions than having to do $routeProviders
etc as that sounds like a fairly low level approach. Do you have any
example?
Account service should be completely scrapped and replaced with something
more modern. The UI needs a complete revamp and it should also be changed
to AngularJS and REST service to make it more customizable and extensible.
