Applications

Form Fields

Id Optional

An optional UUID. When this value is omitted a unique Id will be generated automatically.

Name Required

The name of the application. This value is for display purposes only and can be changed at any time.

Tenant Required

The tenant in which to create this application.

This field is only displayed once multiple tenants exist in FusionAuth. When only a single tenant exists the application will always be created in the default tenant.

Table columns

Name Required

The name of the role. This value should be short and descriptive. Roles can only be created and deleted, only the role description may be modified.

Default Optional

One or more roles may be marked as default. A default role will be automatically added to new user registrations when no roles are explicitly provided on the API request.

Super Role Optional

A role may be optionally marked as a super user role. This indicator is just a marker to indicate to you that this role encompasses all other roles. It has not affect on the usage of the role.

Description Optional

An optional description to better describe the intended use of this role.

To manage Application Roles after you have added an Application, click the Manage Roles button on the index page.

Table columns

Client Id Read-only

The read only client Id for this application. The client Id is used by OAuth2 / OpenID Connect to authenticate the grant request.

Client secret Read-only

The read only client secret used for client authentication. When you enable Require authentication, this client secret will be required to obtain an access token from the Token endpoint.

You may optionally regenerate the client secret if you think the secret has been compromised.

Require authentication Optional

When enabled access to the Token endpoint will require the use of the client_secret parameter. In most cases you will not want to disable this setting.

There may be scenarios where you have a requirement to make a request to the Token endpoint where you cannot safely secure a client secret. In these scenarios you may need to disable client authentication.

Generate refresh tokens Optional

When enabled, FusionAuth will return a refresh token when the offline_access scope has been requested. When this setting is disabled refresh tokens will not be generated even if the offline_access scope is requested.

Authorized redirect URLs Optional

In order to utilize grants that require a browser redirect using the redirect_uri parameter, the URLs need to be added to this list. URLs that are not authorized may not be utilized in the redirect_uri.

Authorized request origin URLs Optional

This optional configuration allows you to restrict the origin of an OAuth2 / OpenID Connect grant request. If no origins are registered for this application, all origins are allowed.

By default FusionAuth will add the X-Frame-Options: DENY HTTP response header to the login pages to keep these pages from being rendered in an iframe. If the request comes from an authorized origin, FusionAuth will not add this header to the response. If you wish to load FusionAuth login pages in an iframe you will need to add the request origin to this configuration.

Logout URL Optional

The optional logout URL for this application. When provided this logout URL should handle the logout of a user in your application.

If you need to end an HTTP session, or delete cookies to logout a user from your application, these operations should be handled by this URL. When the /oauth2/logout endpoint is utilized, each Logout URL registered for applications in this tenant will be called within an iframe to complete the SSO logout.

If the OAuth2 logout endpoint is used with this Client Id this configured Logout URL will be also utilized as the redirect URL if the post_logout_redirect_uri parameter was not provided.

If this application has not defined a Logout URL, the value configured at the Tenant level will be utilized. If no Logout URL has been configured a redirect to / will occur. A specific redirect URL may also be provided by using the post_logout_redirect_uri request parameter.

See the Logout endpoint for more information.

Logout behavior Optional

This selector allows you to modify the behavior when using the Logout endpoint with this Client Id.

• All applications - This is the default behavior. Logout out of the FusionAuth SSO, call each registered Logout URLs for the entire tenant and then redirect to the Logout URL registered for this application.

• Redirect only - Do not call each registered Logout URL in the tenant, instead logout out of the FusionAuth SSO and then only redirect to the Logout URL registered for this application.

See the Logout endpoint for more information.

Enabled grants Optional

The enabled OAuth2 grants. If a grant is not enabled and a client requests this grant during authentication an error will be returned to the caller indicating the grant is not enabled.

• Authorization Code

• Device

• Implicit

• Password

• Refresh Token

See The OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect Overview for additional information on each of these grants.

When you enable the Device grant you will be shown one additional configuration field.

Table columns

Device verification URL Required

The URL to be returned during the Device Authorization request to be displayed to the end user. This URL will be where the end user navigates in order to complete the device authentication workflow.

Required when the Device grant has been enabled.

JWT Settings disabled

Enable Required

When enabled you may configure Application specific JWT configuration including signing keys, durations, etc.

Access token populate lambda Optional

The lambda to be invoked during the generation of an Access Token (JWT) when a user authenticates against this Application.

Id token populate lambda Optional

The lambda to be invoked during the generation of an Id Token (JWT) when a user authenticates against this Application.

Once you have enabled JWT configuration for this Application you will be provided with additional configuration options.

JWT Settings enabled

Issuer Read-only

The issuer used when building the Access Token and Id Token in the iss claim. This value is displayed for read-only purposes, it can be modified in the Tenant configuration.

Refresh token duration Required

The duration in minutes the refresh token will be valid after creation. After this time has passed the refresh token will no longer be able to be used to receive a new Access Token (JWT).

JWT duration Required

The duration in seconds a JWT will be valid after creation. After this time has passed the JWT will expire and can no longer be used.

Access token signing key Optional

The signing key used to sign the Access Token (JWT) when a user authenticates against this Application. When this value is not selected the default selection will cause FusionAuth to generate a new key pair and assign it to this configuration.

Id token signing key Optional

The signing key used to sign the Id Token (JWT) when a user authenticates against this Application. When this value is not selected the default selection will cause FusionAuth to generate a new key pair and assign it to this configuration.

SAML Settings disabled

Enabled Required

When enabled you may configure FusionAuth to reveal this application as a SAML v2 Identity Provider (IdP).

Once you have enabled SAML for this Application you will be provided with additional configurations options.

SAML Settings enabled

Issuer Required

The issuer used by service providers (i.e. Google, Zendesk, etc.) to identify themselves to FusionAuth’s SAML identity provider. Often you cannot set this in the service provider and need to read their documentation or test the integration and use the error messages to determine the correct value.

Audience Optional

Some service providers require a different audience (such as Zendesk). You can leave this blank if the audience is the same as the issuer.

Callback URL (ACS) Required

The URL that FusionAuth returns the user to after they have logged in via SAML v2, also known as the Assertion Consumer Service URL (ACS).

Logout URL Optional

The URL that the user is redirected to after they are logged out. Usually this is the starting location of the application.

Signing key Optional

The signing key used to sign the SAML request. When this value is not selected the default selection will cause FusionAuth to generate a new key pair and assign it to this configuration.

XML signature canonicalization method Optional

The XML signature canonicalization method. Some service providers require specific methods. For example, Pivotal Tracker requires Inclusive. Check with your service provider or test each one to determine which is required.

Response populate lambda Optional

The lambda used to add additional values from the user and registration to the SAML response.

Debug enabled Optional

When enabled, statements will be written to the event log to assist you in debugging integration errors.

Registration settings

Verify registrations Optional

When enabled a registration can be verified using an email workflow. This is very similar to the email verification process but instead it allows you to send an email to an end user for them to confirm they registered for the application.

Verification template Required

The email template to be used when sending the Registration Verification email to the end user.

Required when Verify registrations field toggle has been enabled.

Delete unverified registrations Optional

When enabled, users who have not verified their registration for this application after a configurable duration since the registration was created will have the registration deleted.

Delete after Required

The duration that a user’s registration to this application must exist before being deleted for being an unverified.

Required when Delete unverified registrations field toggle has been enabled.

Self service registration

Enabled Optional

When enabled, a button on the login page will be rendered to allow users to create a new account.

Confirm password Optional

Toggle this field if you want FusionAuth to require a password confirmation when setting a new password during registration.

Login type Optional

This field indicates if the email address or username should be collected as the user’s unique identifier.

Registration fields Optional

The optional fields to be displayed on the registration form.

Field Read-only

The user attribute that can be shown on the registration form.

Enabled Optional

When enabled this field will be shown on the registration form.

Required Optional

When enabled this field will be set as required and the user will be unable to complete registration unless the field is provided.

Login API Settings

Require an API key Optional

When enabled the Login API will require an API key, this is functionally equivalent to requiring client authentication during OAuth2.

Generate refresh tokens Optional

When enabled the Login API will return refresh tokens, this is functionally equivalent to requesting the offline_scope during an OAuth2 grant.

Allow token refresh Optional

When enabled a JWT may be refreshed using the JWT Refresh API, this is functionally equivalent to enabling the Refresh Grant in OAuth2

Passwordless Login

Enabled Optional

When enabled, allow users to request login using a link sent via email. Enabling this feature will cause a button to be displayed on the FusionAuth login form and allow you to utilize the Passwordless Login API.

Authentication Tokens

Enabled Optional

When enabled, allow users to optionally authenticate using an Application specific token in place of their password. This should only be used when the security requirements are low and the user’s normal password is not a good option for authentication. For example, if a password needs to be stored in an external configuration and the exposure risk is low, a token can be used in place of the user’s password. This token may only be used for authorization for this application.
