Constructor Detail

JWTAuthentication

protected JWTAuthentication(ClientAuthenticationMethod method,
                 com.nimbusds.jwt.SignedJWT clientAssertion)

Creates a new JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication.

Parameters:

method - The client authentication method. Must not be null.

clientAssertion - The client assertion, corresponding to the client_assertion parameter, in the form of a signed JSON Web Token (JWT). Must be signed and not null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the client assertion is not signed or doesn't conform to the expected format.

Method Detail

getClientAssertion

public com.nimbusds.jwt.SignedJWT getClientAssertion()

Gets the client assertion, corresponding to the client_assertion parameter.

Returns:

The client assertion, in the form of a signed JSON Web Token (JWT).

getJWTAuthenticationClaimsSet

public JWTAuthenticationClaimsSet getJWTAuthenticationClaimsSet()

Gets the client authentication claims set contained in the client assertion JSON Web Token (JWT).

Returns:

The client authentication claims.

toParameters

public Map<String,String> toParameters()
                                throws SerializeException

Returns the parameter representation of this JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication. Note that the parameters are not application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded.

Parameters map:

 "client_assertion" -> [serialised-JWT]
 "client_assertion_type" -> "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer"
 

Returns:

The parameters map, with keys "client_assertion", "client_assertion_type" and "client_id".

Throws:

SerializeException - If the signed JWT couldn't be serialised to a client assertion string.

applyTo

public void applyTo(HTTPRequest httpRequest)
             throws SerializeException

Description copied from class: ClientAuthentication

Applies the authentication to the specified HTTP request by setting its Authorization header and/or POST entity-body parameters (according to the implemented client authentication method).

Specified by:

applyTo in class ClientAuthentication

Parameters:

httpRequest - The HTTP request. Must not be null.

Throws:

SerializeException - If the client authentication parameters couldn't be applied to the HTTP request.

ensureClientAssertionType

protected static void ensureClientAssertionType(Map<String,String> params)
                                         throws ParseException

Ensures the specified parameters map contains an entry with key "client_assertion_type" pointing to a string that equals the expected CLIENT_ASSERTION_TYPE. This method is intended to aid parsing of JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication objects.

Parameters:

params - The parameters map to check. The parameters must not be null and application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded.

Throws:

ParseException - If expected "client_assertion_type" entry wasn't found.

parseClientAssertion

protected static com.nimbusds.jwt.SignedJWT parseClientAssertion(Map<String,String> params)
                                                          throws ParseException

Parses the specified parameters map for a client assertion. This method is intended to aid parsing of JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication objects.

Parameters:

params - The parameters map to parse. It must contain an entry with key "client_assertion" pointing to a string that represents a signed serialised JSON Web Token (JWT). The parameters must not be null and application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded.

Returns:

The client assertion as a signed JSON Web Token (JWT).

Throws:

ParseException - If a "client_assertion" entry couldn't be retrieved from the parameters map.

parseClientID

protected static ClientID parseClientID(Map<String,String> params)

Parses the specified parameters map for an optional client identifier. This method is intended to aid parsing of JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication objects.

Parameters:

params - The parameters map to parse. It may contain an entry with key "client_id" pointing to a string that represents the client identifier. The parameters must not be null and application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded.

Returns:

The client identifier, null if not specified.

parse

public static JWTAuthentication parse(HTTPRequest httpRequest)
                               throws ParseException

Parses the specified HTTP request for a JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication.

Parameters:

httpRequest - The HTTP request to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication.

Throws:

ParseException - If a JSON Web Token (JWT) based client authentication couldn't be retrieved from the HTTP request.
