README

A simple library that allows an application to authenticate a user through the basic OpenID Connect flow. This library hopes to encourage OpenID Connect use by making it simple enough for a developer with little knowledge of the OpenID Connect protocol to setup authentication.

A special thanks goes to Justin Richer and Amanda Anganes for their help and support of the protocol.

Requirements

1. PHP 5.4 or greater
2. CURL extension
3. JSON extension

Install

1. Install library using composer

composer require pzworks/openid-connect-php

1. Include composer autoloader

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Example 1: Basic Client

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient('https://id.provider.com',
                                'ClientIDHere',
                                'ClientSecretHere');
$oidc->setCertPath('/path/to/my.cert');
$oidc->authenticate();
$name = $oidc->requestUserInfo('given_name');

See openid spec for available user attributes

Example 2: Dynamic Registration

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient("https://id.provider.com");

$oidc->register();
$client_id = $oidc->getClientID();
$client_secret = $oidc->getClientSecret();

// Be sure to add logic to store the client id and client secret

Example 3: Network and Security

// Configure a proxy
$oidc->setHttpProxy("http://my.proxy.com:80/");

// Configure a cert
$oidc->setCertPath("/path/to/my.cert");

Example 4: Request Client Credentials Token

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient('https://id.provider.com',
                                'ClientIDHere',
                                'ClientSecretHere');
$oidc->providerConfigParam(array('token_endpoint'=>'https://id.provider.com/connect/token'));
$oidc->addScope('my_scope');

// this assumes success (to validate check if the access_token property is there and a valid JWT) :
$clientCredentialsToken = $oidc->requestClientCredentialsToken()->access_token;

Example 5: Request Resource Owners Token (with client auth)

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient('https://id.provider.com',
                                'ClientIDHere',
                                'ClientSecretHere');
$oidc->providerConfigParam(array('token_endpoint'=>'https://id.provider.com/connect/token'));
$oidc->addScope('my_scope');

//Add username and password
$oidc->addAuthParam(array('username'=>'<Username>'));
$oidc->addAuthParam(array('password'=>'<Password>'));

//Perform the auth and return the token (to validate check if the access_token property is there and a valid JWT) :
$token = $oidc->requestResourceOwnerToken(TRUE)->access_token;

Example 6: Basic client for implicit flow e.g. with Azure AD B2C (see http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ImplicitFlowAuth)

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient('https://id.provider.com',
                                'ClientIDHere',
                                'ClientSecretHere');
$oidc->setResponseTypes(array('id_token'));
$oidc->addScope(array('openid'));
$oidc->setAllowImplicitFlow(true);
$oidc->addAuthParam(array('response_mode' => 'form_post'));
$oidc->setCertPath('/path/to/my.cert');
$oidc->authenticate();
$sub = $oidc->getVerifiedClaims('sub');

Example 7: Introspection of an access token (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7662)

use pzworks\OpenIDConnectClient;

$oidc = new OpenIDConnectClient('https://id.provider.com',
                                'ClientIDHere',
                                'ClientSecretHere');
$data = $oidc->introspectToken('an.access-token.as.given');
if (!$data->active) {
    // the token is no longer usable
}

Development Environments

In some cases you may need to disable SSL security on on your development systems. Note: This is not recommended on production systems.

$oidc->setVerifyHost(false);
$oidc->setVerifyPeer(false);

Todo

• Dynamic registration does not support registration auth tokens and endpoints
