Edge Client OAuth with Azure
Hello All, I tried OAuth feature on Edge Client with Azure as IDP. It works, I receive the Access Token and connect successfully. The problem is that Policy does not parse the JWT token and just stores it as secure variable. So I have no information about the user. I can parse it with an irule, but I expected to be parsed automatically, lilke when you use an OAuth Client in VPE. Am I missing something?
Not active oauth tokens after reboot
Hi, I have an oauth profile what generates opaque oauth tokens with long lifetimes. I originally thought the tokens where invalidated after an upgrade or even a failover. Now after testing they are indentified as "Not active" in the APM log. The tokens work just right after generating them. Also, despite the long lifetime setup in the oauth profile, the tmsh commands lists the tokens with same dates on issue and expiry, for both access and refresh tokens. So the tokens seem to be generated with wrong expiry dates. I've noticed this in the production cluster, and am able to test in a standalone non-production device. I have several cases escalated with F5 support but I have no real significant replies and tests to do since weeks. So I am unfortunately asking here to see if anybody has ideas to test or troubleshoot. Thanks. LloydOAuth token synchronization in APM HA pair
Hello. I have an HA pair of APMs, acting as a OAuth authorization server. By default, devices in HA should synchronized OAuth tokens from Active to Standby. But I don't see issued tokens on Standby device. The statemirror.mirrorsession system database variable set in "enabled". :Active:In Sync] ~ # tmsh show apm oauth token-details db-instance <db_name> total-tokens: 7258 :Standby:In Sync] ~ # tmsh show apm oauth token-details db-instance <db_name> total-tokens: 0 No synchronization errors (Failed to initiate DB synchronization (ERR_DB)) in logs. How can I check, that token synchronization is successful and issued OAuth tokens existing on both device in cluster?
OAuth SSO
Hi All, we'd like to secure the access to a backend portal with OAuth (F5 Authorization Server and F5 Client/Ressource Server). We aleady configured 2 Virtual Servers and 2 Access Profiles access profile 1 for the backend application (OAuth Client and Scope Agents) access profile 2 for the OAuth AS (Logon Page, LDAP Auth and OAuth AS Agent) The login and the OAuth (OIDC) works with the backend via id_token. Idea was to ask the user ONCE for his LDAP Credentials and then authorize the user in subsequent authorization requests from client applications WITHOUT asking for entering his credentials again. What we see in the session logs is, that the authorization server session always ends with "session deleted (oauth_finished)" once the authorization request has successfully ended, hence the users LDAP information is destroyed together with the "session deleted" Is it possible to get some kind of SSO so that the users credentials is stored in the client for subsequent authorization requests and that the logon page can make use those credentials without prompting the user to login manually again? Thanks SteffenUsing Custom OAuth Client iRules
How do I use iRules with OAuth Server Profile? What are the valid events that will fire to trigger execution. Products docs just say "attach and iRule if you want customization". https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-authentication-sso-13-1-0/37.html Under heading "Configuring OAuth servers for APM as a client"
OAuth SSO like SAML Inline SSO possible?
Hi Folks, I have the following challenge and I am unsure, how it can be solved. F5 APM as OAuth Authorization Server Web Application as OAuth Client + Ressource Server Szenario 1: Internal Access This works like a charme. The user go's to the Web Application, clicks on the OIDC Login Link, is redirected to the Authorization Server, etc. The classic grant flow. Szenario 2: External Access through APM Portal The customer demand is, to publish this web application through a F5 APM Webtop with single sign on. The Web Application does not support getting the JWT from the authorization header, therefore all Bearer SSO methodes are not working. The application must go through the OAuth Grant Flow transparently for the user. This looks like the SAML Inline SSO method, but that is not possible with OAuth or do I miss anything? I have two ideas, how this can be solved. It would be great, If someone knows an even simpler method. Publish the OAuth Server in the internet. Publish the Web Application through a new Virtual Server with an Access Profile attached. Add Portal Link to the Web Application. Span the access session accross both Access Profiles. Opening the Web Application from the Web Top -> works seamless with the same Access Session Clicking on the OIDC Login Link at the Web Application Redirect to the OAuth Server New Access Session begins and the user must login again -> BAD The new access session for the Authorization server is required, because: The Access Policy must be validated to trigger the OAuth Authorization VPE Agent. The Access Policy is closed automatically after OAuth Authorization. First idea: At initial login on the Webtop: Generate a secure domain cookie Set it in the browser Write a mapping table (ltm table) cookie->username At the OAuth Server: Get the cookie Lookup the username in the mapping table If found, set the OAuth username, else prompt for authentication OAuth Authorization works without user login again Second idea: At initial auth-redirect Request from the Web Application: Intercept the auth-redirect request Use a sideband connection to request the authorization code from the authorization server (skip authentication, authorization server is only available on the f5 itself) Use another sideband connection to send the authorization code via the redirect-request back to the Web Application Use the redirect-request response as the response for 1. and deliver it to the browser This are the only two ideas I have, too solve this challenge. However, is it really as complex as I think or is there a really simple method I have overseen?APM Oauth clintless mode
Hi, We currently have the following setup: client( not a web browser) sends a post request to an internal oauth server with the following parameters: username: some_user password: some_pass scope: some_scope grant_type: some_grant if the client passes the authentication he receives a bearer access token which is inserted to the header on the response. Then he can access and use the rest api. We want to integrate F5 into the current scenario so it will act as a client/resource provider( I hope those are the right terms) and then will check the validity of the access token. I'm pretty new to all of the terms and the process of getting an access token, I have read couple of posts on devcentral, guides on f5 clouddocs and on ask f5 and started to play around with it. Those are the resources I've used so far: https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/apm-authentication-for-a-sessionless-and-clientless-api-62162 https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/iam/html/class2/module1/module1.html https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/big-ip-access-policy-manager-single-sign-on-concepts-configuration-14-1-0/04.html https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/big-ip-access-policy-manager-authentication-and-single-sign-on-14-0-0/38.html I have a very general idea how its supposed to work: Client sends a POST request to a VS with apm. An irule will check the request and insert clientless mode. somehow I need to parse the POST parameters and assign them to the appropriate APM variables. There must be a provider configuration and a request configuration ( with the appropriate variables which were parsed ). F5 requests an access token from the oauth server and if successful then on the response it inserts a bearer header with the received access token. The client sends requests to the api which is configured behind a different VS with a per request AP which will verify his bearer token and the scope with the Oauth server. I would like to know if that's something possible to achieve and where and how to start. Thanks, AlexOAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration
Problem this snippet solves: OAuth 2.0 is now supported in version 13. Client applications need to be defined manually in the Web UI. We developed an irule allowing a client application to self register. How to use this snippet: This code makes calls to external functions : json2dict and HTTP Super SIDEBAND Requestor. You need to add them to your set of irules on the BIG-IP before configuring the client app registration service. json2dict proc json2dict JSONtext { string range [ string trim [ string trimleft [ string map {\t {} \n {} \r {} , { } : { } \[ \{ \] \}} $JSONtext ] {\uFEFF} ] ] 1 end-1 } Workflow The client application will do the following request : POST /f5-oauth2/v1/client-register HTTP/1.1 Host: oauthas.example.com User-Agent: curl/7.47.1 Accept: */* Content-Length: 29 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded username=user&password=pwd This request can be achieved using cURL : curl -k -vvv https://oauthas.example.com/f5-oauth2/v1/client-register -d 'username=user&password=pwd' Quick notes The irule is configured to create Client Applications with Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant (ROPC) mode activated.
