This is a PHP client library for the LibLynx Connect identity and access management API. The API allows a publisher to control access to electronic resources without being concerned about the method used, e.g. IP, Shibboleth, SAML, OpenID Connect etc.

**This library is open source, but access to the API requires a commercial agreement with LibLynx - contact us at to discuss your requirements.**

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require liblynx-llc/liblynx-connect-php
```

Setting API credentials
-----------------------

[](#setting-api-credentials)

In order to use this, you will need an API client id and client secret from LibLynx. These can be passed to the API client in one of two ways

### Set API credentials through environment variables

[](#set-api-credentials-through-environment-variables)

You can set the following environment variables to avoid placing credentials in your code

- LIBLYNX\_CLIENT\_ID
- LIBLYNX\_CLIENT\_SECRET

### Set API credentials through code

[](#set-api-credentials-through-code)

Alternatively, you can set the credentials directly, e.g.

```
$liblynx=new Liblynx\Connect\Client;
$liblynx->setCredentials('your client id', 'your client secret');
```

Caching
-------

[](#caching)

To work as efficiently as possible, the client caches API responses such as the entrypoint resource. Any PSR-16 compatible cache can be used, for example [symfony/cache](https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/cache)

For testing, you could use the `ArrayCache` from symfony/cache - install as follows:

```
$ composer require symfony/cache
```

Then create and use an `ArrayCache` as follows

```
$cache=new \Symfony\Component\Cache\Simple\ArrayCache;
$liblynx->setCache($cache);
```

Diagnostic logging
------------------

[](#diagnostic-logging)

Detailed information on API usage can be obtained by passing a PSR-3 compatible logger to the client. This package includes a useful `DiagnosticLogger` class which can be used to store logs and then output them for console or HTML reading.

```
$logger = new \LibLynx\Connect\DiagnosticLogger;
$liblynx->setLogger($logger);
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

A simple integration involves obtaining an account from data provided in the current request superglobals

```
try {
    $identification = $liblynx->authorize(IdentificationRequest::fromArray($_SERVER));
    if ($identification->isIdentified()) {
        //visitor is identified, you can now check their access rights
    } elseif ($identification->requiresWAYF()) {
         //to find our who the visitor is, redirect to WAYF page
         $url = $identification->getWayfUrl();
         header("Location: $url");
         exit;
    } else {
        //liblynx failed - check diagnostic logs
    }
} catch (LibLynx\Connect\Exception\LibLynxException $e) {
    //exceptions are throw for API failures and erroneous integrations
    throw $e;
}
```

See the `examples` folder for other examples:

- `examples\example.php` is a console application which prompts for an IP and URL performs an identification.
