When proxying calls to your back end API, the API Manager adds a header with details gathered during the authentication process.  These details are commonly used for:

...

The response had this JWT

JWT Contents

Fundamentally a JWT is a collection of claims.  Claims returned by UCSD's APIM can be broken into several groups:

...

The JWT specification includes a number of possible claims. The JWT contains the following standard claims:

Claim
Value
iss

Issuing entity. This will be the domain of the identity server used to create the JWT.

expExpiration time in Unix format.

Invocation Details

Claim
Value
http://wso2.org/claims/apicontextThe context of the API invoked. This is unique to each API registered in the APIM and can be used to determine which API the user invoked if multiple APIs point to a single backend.
http://wso2.org/claims/versionThe version of the API invoked. Useful if the backend API supports multiple versions of it's interface, although most back end implementations choose to include the version on the URL.
http://wso2.org/claims/keytypeMost APIs send Production/Sandbox (or QA/Dev) requests to different backend. In the case that both go to the same backend service, this value can be used to determine which version was invoked. Specifically if a "PRODUCTION" or "SANDBOX" key was used. Note: on QA we have adjusted the UI to say "QA" and "Dev", but this value will still be "PRODUCTION" or "SANDBOX"
http://wso2.org/claims/usertypeThe type of OAuth 2.0 grant used for authorization. "APPLICATION_USER" for grant types that include a Resource Owner (authorization_code, implicit, resource owner password). "APPLICATION" for those that only have a Client (client credentials). When set to "APPLICATION", no user details will be included.

Application Details

Claim
Value
http://wso2.org/claims/subscriber

The APIM user who registered the application making the invocation. This really shouldn't be used for anything other than contact information, instead use the application name. Eventually we hope to allow teams to jointly manage application registrations, which will make this field even less useful.

http://wso2.org/claims/applicationidThe ID of the registered application. Less descriptive and more brittle than the application name, it may be useful in certain scenarios where high security is needed.
http://wso2.org/claims/applicationname

The name of the registered application that is invoking the API. The Client / Secret pair used during invocation maps to the application registration.

http://wso2.org/claims/applicationtierThe throttling tier of the registered application. Used even less than http://wso2.org/claims/tier.
http://wso2.org/claims/tierThe throttling tier of the subscription used. Almost never used. It can be used to provide different "tiers" of service to different consumers. Which tiers are available to subscribers are selected by the API publisher from a global list maintained by the APIM administrators. Currently UCSD does not utilize this feature and almost all subscriptions select "Unlimited"
http://wso2.org/claims/enduserThe APIM user who invoked the API. This value shouldn't be used as it's their APIM username, which has no meaning outside of the APIM. Instead use the SSO details described below.

User Details

Claim
Value
http://wso2.org/claims/enduserThe APIM user who invoked the API. This value shouldn't be used as it's their APIM username, which has no meaning outside of the APIM. Instead use the SSO details described below.
http://wso2.org/claims/enduserTenantId

The APIM can be setup to segregate users and apis into different tenants. UCSD is not utilizing this feature so this claim has no meaning.

http://wso2.org/claims/roleThe Roles associated with the user in the APIM system. These are not roles from any external source (e.g. AD) and have no meaning outside the APIM.

SSO Details

In addition to the details about the user's APIM account, some of the values provided by UCSD's SSO server are included.  If a given value was not provided by the SSO server, it will be "-" as the integration element doesn't handle null values well.  See http://syswiki.ucsd.edu/index.php/Shibboleth#Shibboleth_attributes for more details on the specific meaning and source of these values.

Claim
SSO Attribute
Value
http://wso2.org/claims/adusernameurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:ad:usernameActive Directory User Name - Not always available even if they have an active AD account.
http://wso2.org/claims/departmentcodesurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:pps:departmentcodes

The APIM can be setup to segregate users and apis into different tenants. UCSD is not utilizing this feature so this claim has no meaning.

http://wso2.org/claims/eidurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:pps:eidEmployee ID
http://wso2.org/claims/emailaddressurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:people:long_emailThe long form of the user's UCSD email address, where the name can be longer than 8 characters.
http://wso2.org/claims/givennameurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:people:firstnameFirst name
http://wso2.org/claims/lastnameurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:people:lastnameLast name
http://wso2.org/claims/networkuseridurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:networkuseridkerberos/network username (a.k.a. Mail Account)
http://wso2.org/claims/pidurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:isis:pidStudent ID (PID)
http://wso2.org/claims/racfidurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:auth:racfidracf/mainframe id (a.k.a. Business Systems account)
http://wso2.org/claims/systemidurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:people:affiliateid

persistent, unique identifier for this user. This a GUID and is only relevant to the SOA set of services. Unlike all other identifiers, these will never be recycled and should be used as the user's primary ID in the remote system.

http://wso2.org/claims/ucpathemplidurn:mace:ucsd.edu:sso:ucpath:emplidUCPath employee ID

Validating the JWT

The JWT supplied by the APIM is digitally signed by the APIM's certificate.  The certificate is issued by UCSD and signed by a reputable CA.  Please contact lzelus@ucsd.edu if you need a copy of the public certificates used.

Following are claims used by BYU and are provide for reference only

Claim
Value
http://wso2.org/claims/subscriberThe netid of the user that subscribed to this API.
http://wso2.org/claims/applicationidInternal WSO2 application identifier.
http://wso2.org/claims/applicationnameThe name of this application.
http://wso2.org/claims/applicationtierThe throttling tier assigned to this application.
http://wso2.org/claims/apicontext

The context used in this API call (may or may not include version).

http://wso2.org/claims/versionThe version of this API.
http://wso2.org/claims/tierThe throttling tier assigned to this user.
http://wso2.org/claims/keytypeThe type of keys used in this call. Possible values are "PRODUCTION" or "SANDBOX".
http://wso2.org/claims/usertypeThe type of OAuth 2.0 grant used for authorization. "APPLICATION_USER" for grant types that include a Resource Owner (authorization_code, implicit, resource owner password). "APPLICATION" for those that only have a Client (client credentials).
http://wso2.org/claims/enduser

The netid of the resource owner in the form of "netid@carbon.super"

http://wso2.org/claims/enduserTennantId

The WSO2 tenant id. (This value can be ignored since we don't have multiple tenants)

http://wso2.org/claims/client_idThe OAuth 2.0 client id used for authorization. (This value is WSO2 claim but was added by BYU)

BYU Claims

BYU has added a number of claims to make processing of identity information easier for service providers. The content of the Resource Owner and Client claims will be dependent upon which OAuth 2.0 grant type was used for authorization and if there has been a relationship established between the client application and a BYU entity (non-person person). That relationship is defined by placing a entry in the IAM.Credentials table within CESPRD. The entry would have the following values:

...

All other values in the table should be filled in with the appropriate information.

 

Relationship records should only be added for applications under the control of a BYU entity. There is no need to add them for individuals publishing their own applications. Currently there is no defined process for approving and adding these relationship records.

Some UCSD claims are optional based upon the OAuth 2.0 grant type used. For example, if the Client Credentials grant type is used no Resource Owner exists and so the claims dealing with Resource Owner values will not be present in the JWT. The set of possible BYU specific claims are as follows:

 


Claim

http://byu.edu/claims/resourceowner_person_id
The person_id of the Resource Owner
http://byu.edu/claims/resourceowner_byu_id
