Endpoints

Overview

In support of OAuth 2.0 IETF RFC 6749, OAuth 2.0 IETF RFC 8628, JWK IETF RFC 7517, and OAuth 2.0 IETF RFC 7662, the following endpoints are provided.

In support of OpenID Connect, the following endpoints are provided:

Error responses to the OAuth endpoints are described in the following section.

Additional information about common parameters are described in this section:

If present in a query string, request parameters must be URL encoded.

Authorize

This is an implementation of the Authorization endpoint as defined by the IETF RFC 6749 Section 3.1.

Authorization Code Grant Request

To begin the Authorization Code Grant you will redirect to the Authorization endpoint from your application.

GET/oauth2/authorize?client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&response_type=code&tenantId={tenantId}

Request Parameters

client_id[String]required

The unique client identifier. The client Id is the Id of the FusionAuth Application in which you are attempting to authenticate.

code_challenge[String]optionalavailable since 1.8.0

The code_challenge parameter as described in the Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients (PKCE) specification. When this parameter is provided during the Authorization request, a corresponding code_verifier parameter is required on the subsequent POST to the /oauth2/token endpoint.

code_challenge_method[String]optionalavailable since 1.8.0

The code_challenge_method parameter as described in the Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients (PKCE) specification.

The possible values are:

S256 - SHA-256

idp_hint[UUID]optionalavailable since 1.19.0

An optional unique Identity Provider Id that can allow you to bypass the FusionAuth login page.

Adding this request parameter will cause the FusionAuth login page to be skipped, and instead a 302 will be returned with a Location header of the IdP login URL. The end result is functionally equivalent to the end user clicking on the “Login with Pied Piper” button, or entering their email address when using the IdP configuration with managed domains.

locale[String]optional

The locale to be used to render the login page. This is useful if you already know the user’s preferred locale before redirecting the user to FusionAuth. See the Theme Localization documentation for more information.

login_hint[String]optionalavailable since 1.19.0

An optional email address or top level domain that can allow you to bypass the FusionAuth login page when using managed domains.

If using managed domains, adding this request parameter will cause the FusionAuth login page to be skipped, and instead a 302 will be returned with a Location header of the IdP login URL. The end result is functionally equivalent to the end entering their email address when using the IdP configuration with managed domains.

If not using managed domains, providing an email address using this parameter prepopulates the email address in the login page.

metaData.device.description[String]optional

A human readable description of the device used during login. This metadata is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this login request.

nonce[String]optionalavailable since 1.5.0

The nonce parameter as described in the OpenID Connect core specification. When this parameter is provided during the Authorization request, the value will be returned in the id_token.

redirect_uri[String]required

The URI to redirect to upon a successful request. This URI must have been configured previously in the FusionAuth Application OAuth configuration. See Applications in the FusionAuth User Guide for additional information on configuring the redirect URI.

response_mode[String]optionalavailable since 1.11.0

Determines how the result parameters are to be returned to the caller. When this parameter is not provided the default response mode will be used based upon the response_type field.

The default when the response_type is set to code is query, the default when the response_type is set to token, token id_token or id_token is fragment.

The possible values are:

form_post
fragment
query - This response mode can only be used when the response_type is set to code.

In general, you only need to provide this parameter when you wish to use the form_post response mode.

response_type[String]required

The requested response type. For the Authorization Code Grant, this value must be set to code.

scope[String]optional

If you are using OpenID Connect, the request must contain this parameter and at minimum it must contain openid. This parameter may contain multiple scopes space separated. For example, the value of openid offline_access provides two scopes on the request.

Available scopes:

openid - This scope is used to request an id_token be returned in the response
offline_access - This scope is used to request a refresh_token be returned in the response

state[String]optional

The optional state parameter. This is generally used as a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token or to provide deeplinking support. Any value provided in this field will be returned on a successful redirect. See OpenID Connect core specification for additional information on how this parameter may be utilized.

tenantId[UUID]requiredavailable since 1.8.0

The unique Tenant Id used for applying the proper theme.

user_code[String]optionalavailable since 1.11.0

The end-user verification code. This parameter is required on requests implementing the user-interaction of the Device Authorization Grant flow.

Redirect Parameters

access_token[String]

The OAuth access token as described by RFC 6749 Section 1.4. This request parameter will be omitted if an access token was not requested in the response_type request parameter. See the OAuth Tokens documentation for more information.

expires_in[String]

The number of seconds the access token will remain active. This request parameter will be omitted if an access token was not requested in the response_type request parameter.

id_token[String]

The OpenID Id Token. This token is represented as a JSON Web Token (JWT). This request parameter will be omitted if an id token was not requested in the response_type request parameter. See the OAuth Tokens documentation for more information.

locale[String]

The locale that was used to render the login page, or a previously selected locale by the user during a previous session. This may be useful to know in your own application so you can continue to localize the interface for the language the user selected while on the FusionAuth login page. See the Theme Localization documentation for more information.

state[String]

The state that was provided on the Authorization request. This parameter will be omitted if the state request parameter was not provided.

token_type[String]

The token type. The value will be Bearer if an access token was requested in the response_type request parameter, this request parameter will otherwise be omitted.

userState[String]

The FusionAuth user state.

The possible values are:

Authenticated - The user is successfully authenticated for the requested application.
AuthenticatedNotRegistered - The user is successfully authenticated, but not registered for the requested application.

Logout

This endpoint provides a mechanism to invalidate the user’s session held by FusionAuth, this effectively logs the user out of the FusionAuth SSO. Calling this endpoint does not revoke refresh tokens or JWTs. You can revoke the former by using the Revoke Refresh Tokens API. To revoke JWTs, implement a revocation strategy.

Since 1.10.0 The logout behavior follows that of the OpenID Connect Front-Channel Logout specification.

The Logout URL used for each application is determined using the following precedence:

The logoutURL of the Application if defined.
The logoutURL configured on the Tenant if defined.
/

Request

Log the User out of the FusionAuth SSO session using a GET request

GET/oauth2/logout?client_id={client_id}&tenantId={tenantId}

Request Parameters

client_id[String]optional

The unique client identifier. The client Id is the Id of the FusionAuth Application in which you are requesting to logout, this value is used to identify the correct redirect URI.

Generally speaking this parameter is required, if you are using the id_token_hint , this parameter becomes redundant because the application can be identified based upon the id_token.

If you do not provide the id_token_hint and you also omit this parameter, the request will not fail, but the logout URL defined in the Tenant configuration will be utilized. If the Tenant logout URL is not defined, the request will result in a redirect to the current base URL at the root path of /.

id_token_hint[String]optionalavailable since 1.10.0

The id_token_hint parameter as described in the OpenID Connect Session Management specification.

This is the previously issued id_token passed to the logout endpoint as a hint about the End-User’s current authenticated session with the Client.

This parameter is only used if client_id is not provided.

Note that prior to version 1.37.0 this parameter would only work if it was not expired. This was corrected in version 1.37.0 and as long as the token is signed by FusionAuth, even if expired, the token can be used to identify the user and application during the logout request.

post_logout_redirect_uri[String]optionalavailable since 1.10.0

The URI to redirect to upon a successful logout. This URI must have been configured previously in the FusionAuth Application OAuth configuration as an Authorized Redirect URL . See the Core Concepts OAuth section for additional information on configuring redirect URIs.

If this parameter is omitted, the logout URL defined in the Application OAuth configuration will be utilized. If an Application OAuth logout URL is not defined, the logout URL defined in the Tenant configuration will be utilized. If the Tenant logout URL is not defined, the request will result in a redirect to the current base URL at the root path of /.

state[String]optionalavailable since 1.10.0

The state parameter as described in the OpenID Connect Session Management specification. This is an opaque value used to maintain state between the logout request and the callback.

tenantId[UUID]requiredavailable since 1.8.0

The unique Tenant Id used for applying the proper theme.

Available since version 1.37.0

Log the User out of the FusionAuth SSO session with a POST request

POST/oauth2/logout

Request Body

client_id[String]optional

The unique client identifier. The client Id is the Id of the FusionAuth Application in which you are requesting to logout, this value is used to identify the correct redirect URI.

Generally speaking this parameter is required, if you are using the id_token_hint , this parameter becomes redundant because the application can be identified based upon the id_token.

id_token_hint[String]optional

The id_token_hint parameter as described in the OpenID Connect Session Management specification.

This is the previously issued id_token passed to the logout endpoint as a hint about the End-User’s current authenticated session with the Client.

This parameter is only used if client_id is not provided.

post_logout_redirect_uri[String]optional

state[String]optional

The state parameter as described in the OpenID Connect Session Management specification. This is an opaque value used to maintain state between the logout request and the callback.

tenantId[UUID]required

The unique Tenant Id used for applying the proper theme.

Response

Response Codes

If you will be using the Authorization Code grant, you will make a request to the Token endpoint to exchange the authorization code returned from the Authorize endpoint for an access token.

POST/oauth2/token

Request Headers

Authorization[String]optional

This header is optional if you have provided the client_id in the request body. The client_secret may be provided in the request body as well, but may be optional depending on the OAuth grant and configuration settings. If provided, the client_secret must be valid. Please see the Client Secret section for more details. If providing client authentication using the Basic Authentication Scheme authorization header, the value is created by taking the clientId and clientSecret properties defined in the Application OAuth Configuration and concatenating them together using a : character. Here is an example of these two values concatenated.

463228ba-868a-462d-b86f-6096af2d70e0:salkjdsoiu32ldslnkasglhilkja892

This value is then Base64 encoded and prepended with the string Basic to denote the schema type. The following is an example Authorization header using the example concatenation above.

Authorization: Basic NDYzMjI4YmEtODY4YS00NjJkLWI4NmYtNjA5NmFmMmQ3MGUwOnNhbGtqZHNvaXUzMmxkc2xua2FzZ2xoaWxramE4OTI=

You may provide append a comma separated list of permissions as well:

target-entity:92dbded-30af-4149-9c61-b578f2c72600:read,write

You may combine multiple entities and permissions in the same scope parameter:

target-entity:92dbded-30af-4149-9c61-b578f2c72600:read,write target-entity:119a84d9-06c5-4d1f-a0d4-a60490b70ac5:read

Permissions associated with the grant from the target entity to the recipient entity will be available in the permissions claim in the token. If specific permissions are requested, the recipient entity must have previously been granted all of those permissions for a successful access request. If specific permissions are requested, only the requested permissions will be in the permissions claim, otherwise all permissions will be available in that claim.

Device

This endpoint been available since 1.11.0

This is an implementation of the Device Authorization endpoint as defined by the IETF RFC 8628 Section 3.1.

Device Authorize

To begin the Device Authorization Grant you will make a request to the Device Authorization endpoint from the device.

POST/oauth2/device_authorize

Request Headers

Content-Type[String]required

This value must be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Request Parameters

Ensure you are sending these parameters as form encoded data in the request body, do not send these parameters in a query string.

client_id[String]required

The unique client identifier. The client Id is the Id of the FusionAuth Application in which you are attempting to authenticate.

scope[String]optional

This parameter may contain multiple scopes space separated. For example, the value of openid offline_access provides two scopes on the request.

Available scopes:

openid - This scope is used to request an id_token be returned in the response
offline_access - This scope is used to request a refresh_token be returned in the eventual Token response.
idp-link - This scope is used to begin a linking request from a game console.

Supported console links include Epic, Nintendo, Sony Playstation Network, Steam, and Xbox.

This scope format is as follows: idp-link:{identityProviderId}:{token}. When this scope is provided on the request, the token will be verified and when the device grant is complete, a link will be established between the FusionAuth user and the user represented by the provided token. If you need to send more than one token, separate each token using a colon character :. Here is an example format when more than one token is required: idp-link:{identityProviderId}:{token1}:{token2}.

Device Validate

This endpoint has been available since 1.11.0

This endpoint validates the end-user provided user_code from the user-interaction of the Device Authorization Grant.

If you build your own activation form you should validate the user provided code prior to beginning the Authorization grant. If you choose to redirect to the FusionAuth provided form /oauth2/device then it is not necessary for you to validate the user_code .

GET/oauth2/device/validate?client_id={client_id}&user_code={user_code}

Request Parameters

client_id[String]required

The unique client identifier. The client Id is the Id of the FusionAuth Application in which you are attempting to authenticate.

user_code[String]required

The end-user verification code. This is the code that a user entered during the Device Authorization grant which you are requesting to be validated.

Response

Response Codes

Code	Description
200	The request was successful. No response body will be returned on successful validation.
400	The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain a JSON message with the specific errors. The error response JSON is covered in the OAuth Error section of the API documentation.
500	There was a FusionAuth internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files.

Device Approve

This endpoint has been available since 1.46.0

Approve a user_code returned from the Device Authorize . If you are using the FusionAuth themed page for /oauth2/device you do not need to use this because the grant will be automatically approved once the user has completed authentication and the OAuth2 Grant has completed.

If you are building your own integration to collect the user_code from the end user, and wish to approve the Device Grant after authenticating the user, use this API to approve the device code allowing the Device Grant to complete.

POST/oauth2/device/approve

Error Fields

Regardless of the way the error is returned to your, the field definitions are the same. Each possible value error and error_reason is documented below.

Error Parameters

error[String]

The OAuth error response type. In most cases these values are defined or suggested by an RFC or other specification.

The possible values are:

authorization_pending
change_password_required
expired_token
invalid_grant
invalid_request
invalid_scope
invalid_token
server_error
two_factor_required
unauthorized_client
unsupported_grant_type
unsupported_response_type

error_description[String]

The human-readable OAuth error description. This description should describe the error condition and it may contain a parameter value that caused the error.

error_reason[String]

The OAuth error reason. These reason codes are defined by FusionAuth to provide you a specific reason code so that you may identify the specific reason the request failed. The defined error codes as defined by OAuth2 or OpenID Connect only provide general indications such as an invalid request that may be caused by more than one parameter. Each of the values returned in this field will represent a specific error.

The possible values are:

access_token_expired
access_token_failed_processing
access_token_invalid
access_token_malformed
access_token_unavailable_for_processing
auth_code_not_found
change_password_administrative
change_password_breached

state[String]

The state that was provided on the Authorization request. This parameter is only returned during an HTTP redirect if it was provided on the initial request.

Client Secret

This table describes when the client_secret is required. If required, it may be placed in either the Authorization header or the request body.

Even when the value is not required, if it is provided in the request, it must be valid.

Previous to version 1.28.0, whether the client secret was required was controlled by the oauthConfiguration.requireClientAuthentication value of the application object. In that case, a value of true is equivalent to a clientAuthenticationPolicy of Required and a value of false is equivalent to a clientAuthenticationPolicy of NotRequired.

For versions 1.28.0 or later, use oauthConfiguration.clientAuthenticationPolicy to configure this functionality.

When Is the Client Secret Required
