OAuth Mediator¶
The OAuth Mediator supports 2 forms of OAuth. It bypasses the RESTful requests and authenticates users against WSO2 Identity Server.
When a client tries to invoke a RESTful service, it may be required to verify the credentials of the client. This can be achieved by registering an OAuth application in the WSO2 Identity Server. When the client sends a REST call with the Authorization header to the Micro Integrator, the OAuth mediator validates it with the Identity server and proceeds.
See 2-legged OAuth for Securing a RESTful Service for detailed instructions to carry out this process.
Info
If you are using OAuth 1 a, you will get the org.apache.synapse.SynapseException: Unable to find SCOPE value in Synapse Message Context error when the SCOPE property is not set in the synapse message context. To avoid this error, add a property with the name scope and a value in the synapse message context as shown in the Example section.
Syntax¶
<oauthService remoteServiceUrl="" username="" password=""/>Configuration¶
The parameters available to configure the OAuth mediator are as follows.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| OAuth Server | The server URL of the WSO2 Identity Server. |
| Username | The user name to be used to log into the WSO2 Identity Server. |
| Password | The password used to log into the WSO2 Identity Server. |
Example¶
In the following OAuth mediator configuration accesses a remote service
via the https://localhost:9443/service URL. The user
accessing this service is authenticated via the OAuth application
registered in the WSO2 Identity Server and accessed via the
http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse URL. The username
used to log into the WSO2 Identity Server is foo and
the password is bar . Both the user name and the
password should be registered in the Identity Server. The Property mediator adds a property named
scope to the synapse message context. The value of
this property will be used by the OAuth mediator to send the OAuth
request.
Info
The following example is applicable for OAuth 2.0 as well.
<property name="scope" scope="default" type="STRING" value="123"/>
<oauthService xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" remoteServiceUrl="https://localhost:9443/services" username="foo" password="bar" />
