Composer package for configuring OpenID Connect via [OpenID Connect Discovery document](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html).

This library is made and tested for use with [Azure AD B2C](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/)but should be usable for other OpenID Connect providers.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Framework

[](#framework)

If you are looking to use this in a Symfony or Drupal project you should use either:

- Symfony: [itk-dev/openid-connect-bundle](https://github.com/itk-dev/openid-connect-bundle)
- (Archived) Drupal: [itk-dev/itkdev\_openid\_connect\_drupal](https://github.com/itk-dev/itkdev_openid_connect_drupal)

### Direct Installation

[](#direct-installation)

To install this library directly run

```
composer require itk-dev/openid-connect
```

To use the library you must provide a cache implementation of [PSR-6: Caching Interface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-6/). Look to [PHP Cache](http://www.php-cache.com/en/latest/) for documentation and implementations.

### Direct usage

[](#direct-usage)

#### Flow

[](#flow)

When a user wishes to authenticate themselves, we create an instance of `OpenIdConfigurationProvider` and redirect them to the authorization url this provides. Here the user can authenticate and if successful be redirected back the redirect uri provided. During verification of the response from the authorizer we can extract information about the user from the `id_token`, depending on which claims are supported.

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

To use the package import the namespace, create and configure a provider

```
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

use ItkDev\OpenIdConnect\Security\OpenIdConfigurationProvider;

$provider = new OpenIdConfigurationProvider([
    'redirectUri' => 'https://some.url', // Absolute url to where the user is redirected after a successful login
    'openIDConnectMetadataUrl' => 'https:/.../openid-configuration', // url to OpenId Discovery document
    'cacheItemPool' => 'Psr6/CacheItemPoolInterface', // Implementation of CacheItemPoolInterface for caching above discovery document
    'clientId' => 'client_id', // Client id assigned by authorizer
    'clientSecret' => 'client_secret', // Client password assigned by authorizer
    // optional values
    'leeway' => 30, // Defaults to 10 (seconds)
    'cacheDuration' => 3600, // Defaults to 86400 (seconds)
    'allowHttp' => true, // Defaults to false. Allow OIDC urls with http scheme. Use only during development!
]);
```

##### Leeway

[](#leeway)

To account for clock skew times between the signing and verifying servers, you can set a leeway when configuring the provider. It is recommended that leeway should not be bigger than a few minutes.

Defaults to 10 seconds

For more information see the following:

- [firebase/php-jwt](https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt#example)Last entry in the example mentions the leeway option.
- [JWT documentation](http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token.html#nbfDef)

#### Non-authorized requests

[](#non-authorized-requests)

Non-authorized requests should be redirected to the authorization url.

To generate the authorization url you must supply "state" and "nonce":

State: *"A value included in the request that's also returned in the token response. It can be a string of any content that you want. A randomly generated unique value is typically used for preventing cross-site request forgery attacks. The state is also used to encode information about the user's state in the application before the authentication request occurred, such as the page they were on."*

Nonce: *"A value included in the request (generated by the application) that is included in the resulting ID token as a claim. The application can then verify this value to mitigate token replay attacks. The value is typically a randomized unique string that can be used to identify the origin of the request."*

See: [Send authentication requests](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/openid-connect#send-authentication-requests)

You must persist these locally so that they can be used to validate the token when the user is redirected back to your application.

```
// Get "state" and "nonce"
$state = $provider->generateState();
$nonce = $provider->generateNonce();

// Save to session
$session->set('oauth2state', $state);
$session->set('oauth2nonce', $nonce);

$authUrl = $provider->getAuthorizationUrl(['state' => $state, 'nonce' => $nonce]);

// redirect to $authUrl
```

Note that the default response type and mode is set in `OpenIdConfigurationProvider.php`

```
'response_type' => 'id_token',
'response_mode' => 'query',
```

#### Verify authorized requests

[](#verify-authorized-requests)

The authorization service will redirect the user back to the `redirectUri`. This should be an endpoint in your application where you validate the token and the user.

Load the "state" and "nonce" from local storage and validate against the request values

```
// Validate that the request state and session state match
$sessionState = $this->session->get('oauth2state');
$this->session->remove('oauth2state');
if (!$sessionState || $request->query->get('state') !== $sessionState) {
    throw new ValidationException('Invalid state');
}

// Validate the id token. This will validate the token against the keys published by the
// provider (Azure AD B2C). If the token is invalid or the nonce doesn't match an
// exception will thrown.
try {
    $claims = $provider->validateIdToken($request->query->get('id_token'), $session->get('oauth2nonce'));
    // Authentication successful
} catch (ItkOpenIdConnectException $exception) {
    // Handle failed authentication
} finally {
    $this->session->remove('oauth2nonce');
}
```

Development Setup
-----------------

[](#development-setup)

A `docker-compose.yml` file with a PHP 8.3+ image is included in this project. A [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) is used to run common development tasks.

To set up the project:

```
task setup
```

This starts the Docker containers and installs Composer dependencies.

### Running All CI Checks

[](#running-all-ci-checks)

To run all checks locally (coding standards, static analysis, tests):

```
task pr:actions
```

### Unit Testing

[](#unit-testing)

```
task test
```

### Test Matrix

[](#test-matrix)

Run the test suite across all supported PHP versions (8.3, 8.4, 8.5) with both lowest and stable dependencies, mirroring the CI matrix:

```
task test:matrix
```

This runs PHPUnit with coverage for each combination and prints a summary of pass/fail results.

The test suite uses [Mockery](https://github.com/mockery/mockery) to mock [public static methods](http://docs.mockery.io/en/latest/reference/public_static_properties.html?highlight=static)in 3rd party libraries like the `JWT::decode` method from `firebase/jwt`.

### PHPStan Static Analysis

[](#phpstan-static-analysis)

```
task analyze
```

### Coding Standards

[](#coding-standards)

Check all coding standards:

```
task lint
```

Fix PHP coding standards (php-cs-fixer):

```
task lint:php:fix
```

Fix Markdown files:

```
task lint:markdown:fix
```

Fix YAML files:

```
task lint:yaml:fix
```

### Available Tasks
