Configure WSO2 IS as a Key Manager

WSO2 API Manager supports multiple Key Managers. As a result, WSO2 API Manager is prepacked with an inbuilt resident Key Manager and it has the inbuilt capability of configuring WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS) as a Key Manager.

Follow the steps given below to configure WSO2 IS as a Key Manager component:

Step 1 - Configure WSO2 IS

  1. Download and install the WSO2 Identity Server 5.11.0.

    If you downloaded the archive, extract it. <IS_HOME> refers to the root folder of the extracted WSO2 IS.

    Tip

    Refer to the Release Matrix for compatible product versions.

  2. Add following configurations in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.

    [[event_listener]]
id = "token_revocation"
type = "org.wso2.carbon.identity.core.handler.AbstractIdentityHandler"
name = "org.wso2.is.notification.ApimOauthEventInterceptor"
order = 1
[event_listener.properties]
notification_endpoint = "https://localhost:9443/internal/data/v1/notify"
username = "${admin.username}"
password = "${admin.password}"
'header.X-WSO2-KEY-MANAGER' = "WSO2-IS"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.)/keymanager-operations/user-info/claims(.)"
secure = true
http_method = "GET"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/usermgt/list"
scopes = "internal_user_mgt_list"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/user-info/claims/generate"
secure = true
http_method = "POST"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/usermgt/list"
scopes = "internal_user_mgt_list"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/dcr/register"
secure = true
http_method = "POST"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/applicationmgt/create"
scopes = "internal_application_mgt_create"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/dcr/register(.*)"
secure = true
http_method = "GET"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/applicationmgt/view"
scopes = "internal_application_mgt_view"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/dcr/register(.*)"
secure = true
http_method = "PUT"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/applicationmgt/update"
scopes = "internal_application_mgt_update"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/dcr/register(.*)"
secure = true
http_method = "POST"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/applicationmgt/update"
scopes = "internal_application_mgt_update"

[[resource.access_control]]
context = "(.*)/keymanager-operations/dcr/register(.*)"
secure = true
http_method = "DELETE"
permissions = "/permission/admin/manage/identity/applicationmgt/delete"
scopes = "internal_application_mgt_delete"

[tenant_context.rewrite]
custom_webapps = ["/keymanager-operations/"]

  3. Download the WSO2 IS Connector.

  4. Extract the distribution and copy the following JAR files to the <IS_HOME>/repository/components/dropins directory.

    • wso2is.key.manager.core-1.4.2
    • wso2is.notification.event.handlers-1.4.2

  5. Add keymanager-operations.war to the <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/webapps directory.

  6. Start WSO2 Identity Server with a port offset. portOffset is required only if you are running both API-m and ID in the same JVM.

    sh wso2server.sh -DportOffset=1

Step 2 - Configure WSO2 API Manager

  1. Start WSO2 API Manager.

    <APIM_HOME> refers to the root folder of the extracted WSO2 APIM.

  2. Sign in to the Admin Portal.

    https://<hostname>:9443/admin

    https://localhost:9443/admin

  3. Click Key Managers.

  4. Click Add Key Manager to add the configuration related to a new Key Manager.

    Add new Key Manager

  5. Add the Key Manager configurations.

    The following table provides definitions for each configuration.

    Configuration Description Required or Not
    Name The name of the authorization server. Mandatory
    Display Name A name to display on the UI. Mandatory
    Description A brief description of the Key Manager. Optional
    Key Manager Type The type of the Key Manager to be selected.
    e.g., WSO2 Identity Server    		 Mandatory
    Well-known-url The well-known URL of the authorization server (Key Manager). Optional
    Issuer The issuer that consumes or validates access tokens
    e.g., https://localhost:9444/services    		 Optional
    Key Manager Endpoints
    Client Registration Endpoint

    The endpoint that verifies the identity and obtain profile information of the end-user based on the authentication performed by an authorization server.
    e.g., https://localhost:9444/keymanager-operations/dcr/register


    If you have set the following as a well known endpoint, you need to set the Client Registration Endpoint as https://localhost:9444/keymanager-operations/dcr/register

    1. https://localhost:9444/oauth2/oidcdiscovery/.well-known/openid-configuration
    2. https://localhost:9444/oauth2/token/.well-known/openid-configuration
