SSO-based client login
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
.. _module:sso_login:
|
||||
|
||||
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a generic web-based protocol for logging in users.
|
||||
This section is the more generic version of `CAS-based client login`_ and
|
||||
is applicable to a wider range of SSO protocols.
|
||||
|
||||
An overview of the process, as used in Matrix, is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The Matrix client instructs the user's browser to navigate to the
|
||||
|/login/sso/redirect|_ endpoint on the user's homeserver.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The homeserver responds with an HTTP redirect to the SSO user interface,
|
||||
which the browser follows.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The SSO system authenticates the user.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The SSO server and the homeserver interact to verify the user's identity
|
||||
and other authentication information, potentially using a number of redirects.
|
||||
|
||||
7. The Matrix client receives the login token and passes it to the |/login|_
|
||||
API.
|
||||
|
||||
Client behaviour
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The client starts the process by instructing the browser to navigate to
|
||||
|/login/sso/redirect|_ with an appropriate ``redirectUrl``. Once authentication
|
||||
is successful, the browser will be redirected to that ``redirectUrl``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. TODO-spec
|
||||
|
||||
Should we recommend some sort of CSRF protection here (specifically, we
|
||||
should guard against people accidentally logging in by sending them a link
|
||||
to ``/login/sso/redirect``.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe we should recommend that the ``redirectUrl`` should contain a CSRF
|
||||
token which the client should then check before sending the login token to
|
||||
``/login``?
|
||||
|
||||
{{sso_login_redirect_cs_http_api}}
|
||||
|
||||
Server behaviour
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The URI for the SSO system to be used should be configured on the server by the
|
||||
server administrator. The server is expected to set up any endpoints required to
|
||||
interact with that SSO system.
|
||||
|
||||
Handling the redirect endpoint
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
When responding to the ``/login/sso/redirect`` endpoint, the server must
|
||||
generate a URI for the SSO login page with any appropriate parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
.. TODO-spec:
|
||||
|
||||
It might be nice if the server did some validation of the ``redirectUrl``
|
||||
parameter, so that we could check that aren't going to redirect to a non-TLS
|
||||
endpoint, and to give more meaningful errors in the case of
|
||||
faulty/poorly-configured clients.
|
||||
|
||||
Handling the authentication endpoint
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Once the homeserver has verified the user's identity with the SSO system, it
|
||||
MUST map the user ID to a valid `Matrix user identifier <../index.html#user-identifiers>`_.
|
||||
The guidance in `Mapping from other character sets
|
||||
<../index.html#mapping-from-other-character-sets>`_ may be useful.
|
||||
|
||||
If the generated user identifier represents a new user, it should be registered
|
||||
as a new user.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the server should generate a short-term login token. The generated
|
||||
token should be a macaroon, suitable for use with the ``m.login.token`` type of
|
||||
the |/login|_ API, and `token-based interactive login <#token-based>`_. The
|
||||
lifetime of this token SHOULD be limited to around five seconds.
