OAuth Endpoints

1. Overview

In support of OAuth 2.0 IETF RFC 6749, the following endpoints are provided.

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

2. Authorize

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

2.1. Authorization Code Grant Request

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

URI

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

Table 1. Request Parameters

client_id [String] Required

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

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_type [String] Required

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

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

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

nonce [String] Optional Available 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.

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

  • offline_access This scope is used to request a Refresh Token.

state [String] Optional

The optional state parameter, this is generally used as a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token. 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.

2.2. Response

Table 2. Response Codes
Code Description

200

The request was successful. The user is not logged in, the response will contain and HTML form to collect login credentials.

302

The requested user is already logged in, the request will redirect to the location specified in the redirect_uri on the request.

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 OAuthError 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.

2.3. Implicit Grant Request

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

URI

GET /oauth2/authorize?client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}&response_type=token%20id_token

Table 3. Request Parameters

client_id [String] Required

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

For the Implicit Grant, this value must be set to one of the following values:

  • token - Return an access_token

  • token id_token - Return both the access_token and the id_token

  • id_token - Return an id_token

The token response type is not supported when using OpenID Connect. This means that if you specify the openid scope the token response type is not allowed.

Available scopes:

  • openid

state [String] Optional

The optional state parameter, this is generally used as a Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token. 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.

Table 7. Request Headers

Authorization [String] Optional Available Since 1.3.0

If you have enabled requireClientAuthentication on the Application the user logged into, than you must provide client authentication using the Basic Authentication Scheme authorization header.

The header 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:
