OAuth2 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_idStringrequired

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

code_challengeStringAvailable 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_methodStringAvailable 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_hintUUIDAvailable 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.

localeString

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_hintStringAvailable 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.descriptionString

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.

nonceStringAvailable 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_uriStringrequired

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_modeStringAvailable 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_typeStringrequired

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

scopeString

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.

These scopes modify the behavior of the endpoint:

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

stateString

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.

tenantIdUUIDrequiredAvailable since 1.8.0

The unique Tenant Id used for applying the proper theme.

user_codeStringAvailable 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.

Response

Response Codes

Redirect Parameters

access_tokenString

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_inString

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_tokenString

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.

localeString

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.

stateString

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

token_typeString

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.

userStateString

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.
AuthenticatedNotVerified - The user is successfully authenticated, but the user’s email address has not been verified.
AuthenticatedRegistrationNotVerified - The user is successfully authenticated and registered, but the registration has not been verified 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.
/

You can learn more about logout in the Logout And Session Management guide.

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_idString

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_hintStringAvailable 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_uriStringAvailable 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 /.

stateStringAvailable 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.

tenantIdUUIDrequiredAvailable 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_idString

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_hintString

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_uriString

stateString

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.

tenantIdUUIDrequired

The unique Tenant Id used for applying the proper theme.

Response

Response Codes

Code	Description
302	The request was successful and the redirect location will be determined by using the configuration values in the following precedence: * The `post_logout_redirect_uri` request parameter if present * The logoutURL defined in the Application OAuth configuration * The logoutURL defined in the Tenant OAuth configuration * `/`
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.
503	The search index is not available or encountered an exception so the request cannot be completed. The response will contain a JSON body.

Complete the Authorization Code Grant Request

Authorization Code Grant : Exchange the Authorization Code for a Token

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

AuthorizationString

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=

Refresh Token Grant Request

If you will be using the Refresh Token Grant, you will make a request to the Token endpoint to exchange the user’s refresh token for an access token.

In version 1.50.0 and later a refresh token containing unknown scopes will be revoked when used for a Refresh Token Grant if the oauthConfiguration.unknownScopePolicy value of the associated application is Reject.

POST /oauth2/token

Request Cookies

access_tokenStringAvailable since 1.16.0

The previously issued encoded access token. When provided on the request, this value will be relayed in the related JWT Refresh webhook event within the original field. If both the cookie and request parameter are provided, the cookie will take precedence.

Request Headers

AuthorizationString

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.

The above concatenation example and resulting Authorization header are simply for demonstration. Your actual header value will be different.

Content-TypeStringrequired

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 or as JSON.

client_idString

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

This parameter is optional when the Authorization header is provided. When the Authorization header is not provided, this parameter is required.

client_secretString

The client secret of the Entity. This parameter is optional when the Authorization header is provided. Please see the the Client Secret table for more details.

grant_typeStringrequired

The grant type to be used. This value must be set to client_credentials

scopeString

This parameter is optional. This is a space delimited set of the requested scopes for this grant request.

You will typically provide a scope specifying the target entity:

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

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-TypeStringrequired

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_idStringrequired

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

scopeString

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

These scopes modify the behavior of the endpoint:

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}.

UserInfo

This is an implementation of the OpenId Connect UserInfo endpoint as defined by the OpenId Connect Section 5.3. This endpoint may be called using the GET or the POST HTTP method.

In version 1.50.0 and later, the UserInfo response can be customized with a lambda using the oauthConfiguration.userinfoPopulateLambda value of the application object. See UserInfo populate lambda.

Request

Returns the Claims about the authenticated End-User.

GET /oauth2/userinfo

Returns the Claims about the authenticated End-User.

POST /oauth2/userinfo

Request Headers

AuthorizationStringrequired

The access token issued by FusionAuth as a result of completing one of the supported authorization grants.

Example header:

Authorization: Bearer [access_token]

In version 1.50.0 and later, the aud claim is required for all tokens. The aud claim value, or the first value in the case where the claim contains a list, must correspond to an active Application.

If you have a token that was not obtained from an OAuth flow and does not contain the aud claim, consider adding the claim or using the JWT Validate API instead.

In version 1.50.0 and later when the application’s oauthConfiguration.scopeHandlingPolicy is set to Strict, to use a token with this endpoint, the token must:

Be an access token
Contain the openid scope in the scope claim

Response

In version 1.50.0 and later the UserInfo response changes based on the oauthConfiguration.scopeHandlingPolicy value of the application object.

In Strict mode the response claims are populated based on the scope values of the provided token and available information on the User object. This behavior more closely aligns with the OpenID Connect 1.0 specification recommendations.
In Compatibility mode the response claims are populated based on available information on the User object only and include some claims from the provided token. This is behavior allows for backwards compatibility with versions of FusionAuth before 1.50.0.

JSON Web Key Set (JWKS)

Available Since Version 1.4.0

Request

Returns public keys generated by FusionAuth, used to cryptographically verify JWTs using the JSON Web Key format. You may also use the JWT Public Key API to retrieve these keys in PEM format.

GET /.well-known/jwks.json

You must add an asymmetric key to FusionAuth to have keys at this endpoint. Since version 1.50.0, default FusionAuth installations have a single RSA public/private key pair.

HMAC shared secret keys are not published by this endpoint. If they were, anyone would be able to retrieve these keys and then sign tokens with them. Those tokens would be indistinguishable from those created by FusionAuth. That would be bad.

You may add key pairs using the admin UI by navigating to Settings -> Key Master and generating or importing them. You may also use the Keys API to generate or import keys.

Response

The response for this request should always return a 200 with a JSON body.

stateString

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.

In each of the endpoint’s documentation, it describes when and how to use the client_secret in the request body or the Authorization header using HTTP Basic Auth.

Even when the client secret is not required, if it is provided it will be validated.

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.
