About
-----

[](#about)

Provides a wrapper around the web-token libraries for use with VATUSA's Unified Login Scheme.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Require the `vatusa/laravel-uls` package in your `composer.json` and update your dependencies: ```
    $ composer require vatusa/laravel-uls
    ```
2. Generate the configuration file

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The defaults are set in `config/uls.php`. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values. You can publish the config using this command:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="VATUSA\Uls\UlsServiceProvider"
```

```
return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Laravel ULS
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */

    /*
     * ULS Version to use
     *
     * By default we'll use 2
     */
    'version' => env('ULS_VERSION', 2),

    /*
     * Set the JSON Web Key retrieved from VATUSA's Facility Management
     */
    'jwk' => json_decode(env('ULS_JWK', []), true),

    /*
     * Facility 3 letter identifier
     */
    'facility' => env('ULS_FACILITY', 'ZZZ')
];
```

### Lumen

[](#lumen)

On Laravel Lumen, load your configuration file manually in `bootstrap/app.php`:

```
$app->configure('uls');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using laravel-uls is fairly easy.

1. Get your JSON Web Key from your facility's Technical Configuration page.  (**NOTE**: You must hold a ATM, DATM or WM role for that facility to generate/see the generated JSON Web Key)
2. Store the JWK, unedited, in the config above (or, *recommended* quoted with single quotes in the .env file as ULS\_JWK='... JWK from VATUSA...')
3. To generate the redirect url, use:

    ```
    $uls->redirectUrl()
    ```

    To handle the developmental returns, specify a boolean argument of true

    ```
    $uls->redirectUrl(true)
    ```
4. To verify a token, assume $token is the full token received from VATUSA's ULS endpoint

    ```
    $uls = new Uls();
    if ($uls->verifyToken($token)) {
       // Token was true
    }
    ```

    The laravel-uls library conducts header verifications to ensure that the accepted algorithms are received. Additionally, it conducts the following claims checks, including:

    - Ensures the audience is you (IE, the token isn't meant for another facility)
    - The token is not expired
    - The Issued at time is logical (ie, not in the future)

    Because of this, a number of exceptions may be thrown:

    - InvalidArgumentException
    - Jose\\Component\\Checker\\InvalidClaimException
    - Jose\\Component\\Checker\\InvalidHeaderException
5. To get the information of the user associated with the token, use:

    ```
    $uls->getInfo();
    ```

    This will return an array of the decoded JSON from ULS. Details of the array can be found in the VATUSA Technical Manual M1022 at .
