The OpenID control is used to verify the identify of a user as well as get basic profile information.

Syntax

OpenID

Remarks

The OpenID control implements an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP) capable of authenticating a user and retrieving user information. OIDC is a simple identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0 and re-uses much of the functionality and concepts defined by OAuth 2.0.

To begin using the control you will first need to register your application with the service you want to use. During this process you should obtain a ClientId and ClientSecret. The following sections discuss the typical steps to verify the identity of a user and obtain profile information.

Get the Discovery Document

Many OpenID Providers (OPs) provide information via a Discovery Document. The discovery document defines information such as the endpoint URLs for authentication, tokens, and user information requests. Additionally, details about parameters such as supported authorization scopes are defined in this document. The document is found at a URL which can be fetched and parsed by calling the GetDiscoveryDoc method.

The discovery document URL is typically published by an OpenID Provider (OP) and must be known before calling this method. The format of the URL is standardized and typically takes the form:

https://www.youropenidserver.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

Call GetDiscoveryDoc before calling GetAuthorization to populate the control properties with information required to complete the authorization. The retrieved information includes endpoint URLs as well as the OpenID public certificates used to verify the signature on the ID Token. After calling this method the following properties are populated:

• ServerAuthURL
• ServerTokenURL
• ServerUserInfoURL
• SignerCertURL

The above values may be stored, and later populated from the stored values, to avoid the requirement of calling GetDiscoveryDoc on subsequent authorization requests.

The following discovery document fields are populated after GetDiscoveryDoc returns:

• DiscoveryDocDetailsAuthorizationURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsClaimsParamSupported
• DiscoveryDocDetailsIssuer
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSignerCertURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsRegistrationURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsServiceDocsURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedClaims
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedDisplays
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedGrantTypes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedResponseTypes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedScopes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsTokenURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsUserInfoURL

To access values not automatically parsed by the control the XPath configuration setting may be set to retrieve a specific value. Alternatively the RawJSON setting returns the entire JSON document which may be parsed separately.

Note: Calling GetDiscoveryDoc is not mandatory. If server information was stored from a previous call or is otherwise known ahead of time the following properties may be set in place of calling GetDiscoveryDoc:

• ServerAuthURL
• ServerTokenURL
• ServerUserInfoURL
• SignerCertURL or SignerCert

Examples of the above points: openid.GetDiscoveryDoc("https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration"); // ... or ... openid.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"; openid.ServerTokenURL = "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token"; openid.ServerUserInfoURL = "https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo"; openid.SignerCertURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs"; // ... or ... string rawjson = openid.Config("RawJSON");

Get Authorization

Before calling GetAuthorization the control may be configured for one of several flows defined by the GrantType property. These flows determine which information is returned by the authorization server and which information (if any) is returned by the Token server.

Possible values for GrantType are:

• 0 (Authorization Code - Default)
• 1 (Implicit)
• 2 (Hybrid)

When using 0 (Authorization Code Flow - Default), an authorization code is returned from the ServerAuthURL and the control automatically contacts the ServerTokenURL and exchanges the authorization code for an ID Token and access token.

When using 1 (Implicit Flow), the ServerAuthURL returns an ID Token and access token directly. This is only recommended for implementations that are in-browser, as this potentially exposes the tokens to the end-user and user agent itself.

When using 2 (Hybrid Flow), an authorization code and potentially one or more tokens are returned by the ServerAuthURL. The control will automatically contact the ServerTokenURL to exchange the authorization code for an ID Token and access token.

When GrantType and any other optional settings are set as desired, call GetAuthorization.

GetAuthorization performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OpenID control for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.

After authorization is complete, UserDetails will be populated with the claims parsed from the ID Token. This method also returns an authorization string. The authorization string grants access to additional resources as requested via the AuthorizationScope property. If access to another resource was requested, then the access token returned here may be set in the Authorization property of any other control (or passed as the value of the HTTP Authorization header).

GetUserInfo may be called after calling this method.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

• ClientId (required)
• ClientSecret (required)
• ServerAuthURL (required - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc.)
• ServerTokenURL (required - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc.)
• SignerCertURL (conditional - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc. Required if SignerCert is not set.)
• SignerCert (conditional - required if SignerCertURL is not set.)
• AuthorizationScope
• ClientProfile
• GrantType
• Params
• RefreshToken
• ReturnURL
• State
• Timeout
• Display
• Prompt
• IdTokenHint
• LoginHint
• ResponseType

For the default Authorization Code flow, GetAuthorization could work like this: openid.ClientId = "client id"; openid.ClientSecret = "client secret"; openid.AuthorizationScope += " profile email"; // default value is 'openid' openid.State = "application state"; string authToken = openid.GetAuthorization();

Get User Info

When GetAuthorization returns, the UserDetails property is populated with information about the user as returned in the ID Token from the authorization server. An additional operation, GetUserInfo may optionally be called to query the ServerUserInfoURL for information about the user.

Before calling the GetUserInfo method, a successful call to GetAuthorization must be made. The access token returned by GetAuthorization is used by the OpenID provider at ServerUserInfoURL to identify the user for which claims are being retrieved.

When this method is called the control requests the claims about the user from the ServerUserInfoURL. The resulting claims are available in the UserDetails property.

Note: The GetUserInfo method will populate the UserDetails property with the claims returned in the ID Token during the authorization process. This method may not need to be called in order to access the desired claims about the user.

openid.GetUserInfo(); // ... use the user info in the remainder of your application ...

Client Profile Notes

The ClientProfile defines the environment in which the control is being used, and controls how the control behaves in order to best suit that environment. Choose the profile that is closest to the runtime environment.

The following client types are currently supported by the control:

• Application (desktop application)
• WebServer (server side application such as a web site)
• Device (an application without browser access such as a game console)
• Mobile (phone or tablet application)
• Browser (javascript application)
• JWT (server to server authentication using a JWT bearer token such as Google service account authentication)

Application Profile

The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.

Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the control will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The control will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the control will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.

Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.

Fourth, the control will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.

The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

The following is a simple example: component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization(); HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");

Web Profile

The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.

Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.

Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

For additional details for less common profile types please see ClientProfile.

The following is a list of config settings for the control with short descriptions. Click on the links for further details.

AccessToken Property (OpenID Control)

The access token returned by the authorization server.

Syntax

openidcontrol.AccessToken[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property will be populated with the access token returned by the authorization server after a call to GetAuthorization. This will be the raw access token, whereas the return value from the GetAuthorization method will also include the required data so that it can be passed directly to the Authorization property of other components or added as the value of the authorization header in another client implementation.

Data Type

String

AccessTokenExp Property (OpenID Control)

The lifetime of the access token.

Syntax

openidcontrol.AccessTokenExp

Default Value

0

Remarks

This setting holds the lifetime of the access token in seconds. For instance the value 3600 indicates that the token will expire in one hour from the time it was generated.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

Integer

AuthorizationCode Property (OpenID Control)

The authorization code that is exchanged for an access token.

Syntax

openidcontrol.AuthorizationCode[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used with the AuthorizationCode GrantType. When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication (Application flow), this property will be informational only, as the GetAuthorization method will automatically exchange this code for a token with the authorization server specified in ServerTokenURL.

When ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb (Web flow), this property needs to be set to the authorization code returned from the authorization server. Typically, this value is parsed when the service redirects the user back to your website. See ClientProfile for more information.

If this property is set before calling GetAuthorization, the control will not make a request to the authorization sever and instead will attempt to exchange the code with the authorization server for an access token.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

String

AuthorizationScope Property (OpenID Control)

The authorization scope used during authorization.

Syntax

openidcontrol.AuthorizationScope[=string]

Default Value

"openid"

Remarks

This property specifies the authorization scopes sent in the authorization request. The value specified here must be a space separated list of scopes. For instance openid profile email.

The openid scope is always required to be present. The default value is openid.

After calling GetAuthorization this property will be updated with the scope sent in the response from the server and will indicate the scope that was actually granted.

Data Type

String

ClientId Property (OpenID Control)

The Id of the client assigned when registering the application.

Syntax

openidcontrol.ClientId[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property holds the Id of the client that was assigned when initially registering the application with the authorization server. This value must be specified before calling GetAuthorization or GetAuthorizationURL.

Data Type

String

ClientProfile Property (OpenID Control)

The type of client that is requesting authorization.

Syntax

openidcontrol.ClientProfile[=integer]

Possible Values

ocpApplication(0), 
ocpWeb(1), 
ocpDevice(2), 
ocpMobile(3), 
ocpJWT(4)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This defines the type of client that will be requesting authorization. Set this before calling GetAuthorization to inform the control to act accordingly. Possible values are as follows:

Application Profile

The Application profile is applicable to applications that are run directly by the user. For instance, a Windows form application would use the Application profile. To authorize your application (client) using the Application profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpApplication. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application.

Second, call GetAuthorization to begin the authorization process. When GetAuthorization is called, the control will build the URL to which the user will be directed and fire the LaunchBrowser event. The control will then launch the browser using the command and URL shown in the LaunchBrowser event and await the response. The duration for which the control will wait for a response is defined by BrowserResponseTimeout.

Third, the user will interact with the browser to authenticate and grant access to the connecting application. The user will then be redirected back to an embedded web server that was automatically started when GetAuthorization was called. At this time, the ReturnURL event will fire. This event provides an opportunity to provide a custom response to your user that they will see in their browser.

Fourth, the control will then automatically exchange the grant that was returned by the authorization server for the access token using the HTTP endpoint specified in ServerTokenURL.

The authorization is now complete and the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. The authorization string can then be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

The following is a simple example: component.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_ID"; component.ServerAuthURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth"; component.ServerTokenURL = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"; HTTP.Authorization = component.GetAuthorization(); HTTP.Get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo");

Web Profile

The Web profile is applicable to applications that are run on the server side when the user uses the application from a web browser. To authorize your application (client) using this profile, use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpWeb. This defines the profile the component will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Set ReturnURL to the page on your site that will be the endpoint the user is redirected back to after authentication.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. This will return a URL to which the user should be redirected. Redirect the user to this URL.

Third, after the user authenticates and is returned to the page on your site specified by ReturnURL, parse the "code" query string parameter from the incoming request to get the authorization code from the authorization server. Then, set AuthorizationCode property to the parsed value.

Fourth, after AuthorizationCode is set, call GetAuthorization to exchange the code specified in AuthorizationCode for a token from the server specified by ServerTokenURL. GetAuthorization will then return the authorization string. The authorization string can be used with any of our components by simply setting the returned value to the authorization property before making a request.

Device Profile

The Device profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser cannot be used. For example, a game console would use the Device profile. To authorize your application (client) using the device client profile use the following steps:

First, set ClientProfile to ocpDevice. This defines the profile the control will use. Set the ClientId, ClientSecret, ServerAuthURL, and ServerTokenURL to the values you obtained when registering your application. Do not set ReturnURL.

Second, call GetAuthorizationURL. The control will automatically make a request to ServerAuthURL to obtain a user code for the device. The GetAuthorizationURL method will return the URL your user must visit from another device or computer that has web browser support. The GetAuthorizationURL method will also populate DeviceUserCode. This device user code must be provided to the user. The user will enter the code at the URL returned by GetAuthorizationURL.

Third, at this time, call GetAuthorization. The control will begin polling the server specified in ServerTokenURL. The polling interval is specified (in seconds) by the PollingInterval setting.

Fourth, after the user has authenticated, the GetAuthorization method will return the authorization string. To use the authorization string with any of our components, simply pass this value to the authorization property before making the request.

Mobile Profile

The Mobile profile is applicable to applications that are run on devices for which a web browser can be used. For instance, a mobile phone or tablet would use the Mobile profile. The behavior when using this profile is very similar to the Application profile. The only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles is the way the browser is launched. When set to the Mobile profile, the LaunchBrowser event will fire but the control will not attempt to launch the browser automatically. The browser must be launched manually from code. This behavior is the only difference between the Mobile and Application profiles. Please read the steps for the Application profile for a more detailed look at the process.

JWT Bearer Token (Server-to-Server) Profile

The JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Token profile is available for server-to-server authentication. For instance this may be used by web applications to access a Google service. In this case, the application will access data on behalf of the service account, not the end user. End-user interaction is not required.

First, specify AuthorizationScope ServerTokenURL and JWTServiceProvider.

Second, specify JWT-specific values. The use of the JWT profile also requires additional configuration settings to be specified, including a certificate with private key used to sign the JWT. Either specify the JWTJSONKey configuration setting, which will parse the necessary information automatically, or manually specify the following configuration settings:

• JWTIssuer (required)
• JWTAudience (required)
• JWTCertStoreType (required)
• JWTCertStore (required)
• JWTCertStorePassword (required)
• JWTCertSubject (required)
• JWTSubject
• JWTValidityTime
• JWTSignatureAlgorithm

Additional fields may be added to the JWT using the AddParam method.

Example 1. Google: oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token"; oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT; oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=0"); oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=CLIENT_ID"); oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password"); oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*"); oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=5400"); //in seconds string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();

Example 2. Microsoft: oauth.ClientId = "Client_Id"; oauth.ClientProfile = OauthClientProfiles.ocpJWT; oauth.AuthorizationScope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"; oauth.ServerTokenURL = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token"; oauth.Config("JWTServiceProvider=1"); oauth.Config("JWTIssuer=" + CLIENT_ID); oauth.Config("JWTSubject=" + CLIENT_ID); oauth.Config("JWTCertStoreType=2"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStore=C:\\MyCertificate.p12"); oauth.Config("JWTCertStorePassword=password"); oauth.Config("JWTCertSubject=*"); oauth.Config("JWTValidityTime=3600"); oauth.Config("JWTAudience=https://login.microsoftonline.com/"+ tenant_id + "/oauth2/V2.0/token"); string authStr = oauth.GetAuthorization();

The name or IP address of the firewall (optional).

Syntax

openidcontrol.FirewallHost[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

The name or IP address of the firewall (optional). If a FirewallHost is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the control fails with an error.

Data Type

String

FirewallPassword Property (OpenID Control)

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

Syntax

openidcontrol.FirewallPassword[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

A password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the control fails with an error.

Data Type

String

FirewallPort Property (OpenID Control)

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port for the firewall Host .

Syntax

openidcontrol.FirewallPort[=integer]

Default Value

Data Type

String

FollowRedirects Property (OpenID Control)

Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

Syntax

openidcontrol.FollowRedirects[=integer]

Possible Values

frNever(0), 
frAlways(1), 
frSameScheme(2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the control returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same; otherwise, the control fails with an error.

Note: Following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for GET or HEAD requests. Other methods potentially could change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server or port are different from the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty. If, however, this property is set to frAlways (1), the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g., new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the control fails with an error instead.

Data Type

Integer

GrantType Property (OpenID Control)

The grant type defining the authentication flow.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GrantType[=integer]

Possible Values

ogtAuthorizationCode(0), 
ogtImplicit(1),

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the grant type used when performing authentication. The value specified here controls the authentication flow.

Possible values for GrantType are:

• 0 (Authorization Code - Default)
• 1 (Implicit)
• 2 (Hybrid)

When using 0 (Authorization Code Flow - Default), an authorization code is returned from the ServerAuthURL and the control automatically contacts the ServerTokenURL and exchanges the authorization code for an ID Token and access token.

When using 1 (Implicit Flow), the ServerAuthURL returns an ID Token and access token directly. This is only recommended for implementations that are in-browser, as this potentially exposes the tokens to the end-user and user agent itself.

When using 2 (Hybrid Flow), an authorization code and potentially one or more tokens are returned by the ServerAuthURL. The control will automatically contact the ServerTokenURL to exchange the authorization code for an ID Token and access token.

Additional Notes

The response_type request parameter is automatically set based on the value specified here. In some cases multiple values are acceptable and a default value is chosen automatically. To explicitly specify a response_type value for the chosen grant type set ResponseType after setting this property.

Syntax

openidcontrol.LocalHost[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the control initiate connections (or accept in the case of server controls) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the control is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

AddParam Method (OpenID Control)

Adds a name-value pair to the query string parameters of the outgoing request.

Syntax

openidcontrol.AddParam ParamName, ParamValue

Remarks

This method can be used to add query string parameters to the outgoing request. One common use for this method would be to add the state parameter to the request, which can be used when the ClientProfile is ocpWeb to add user-defined data. The authorization server will include the state parameter in the response and will be available in the post back to your server, which will allow you to maintain state in your application.

Config Method (OpenID Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

openidcontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DoEvents Method (OpenID Control)

This method processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

openidcontrol.DoEvents 

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the control processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

GetAuthorization Method (OpenID Control)

Gets the authorization string required to access the protected resource.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GetAuthorization 

Remarks

GetAuthorization performs several operations automatically depending on the value of ClientProfile. Please see the introduction section for the OpenID control for a detailed overview of the typical scenarios.

After authorization is complete, UserDetails will be populated with the claims parsed from the ID Token. This method also returns an authorization string. The authorization string grants access to additional resources as requested via the AuthorizationScope property. If access to another resource was requested, then the access token returned here may be set in the Authorization property of any other control (or passed as the value of the HTTP Authorization header).

GetUserInfo may be called after calling this method.

The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

• ClientId (required)
• ClientSecret (required)
• ServerAuthURL (required - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc.)
• ServerTokenURL (required - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc.)
• SignerCertURL (conditional - populated by GetDiscoveryDoc. Required if SignerCert is not set.)
• SignerCert (conditional - required if SignerCertURL is not set.)
• AuthorizationScope
• ClientProfile
• GrantType
• Params
• RefreshToken
• ReturnURL
• State
• Timeout
• Display
• Prompt
• IdTokenHint
• LoginHint
• ResponseType

GetAuthorizationURL Method (OpenID Control)

Builds and returns the URL to which the user should be redirected for authorization.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GetAuthorizationURL 

Remarks

When this method is called, the control will return the URL used for authorization. The control will not make any connections, but instead it will return the URL to you so that you may redirect the user to this location. This is useful when ClientProfile is set to ocpWeb. Before calling this method, set the following:

• ClientId
• ClientSecret
• ReturnURL
• AuthorizationScope (optional)

GetDiscoveryDoc Method (OpenID Control)

Gets the OpenID Discovery Document.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GetDiscoveryDoc URL

Remarks

This method gets the OpenID Connect Discovery Document specified by the URL parameter and parses the response. The discover document contains details about the OpenID Provider configuration including endpoint URLs, supported claims and response types, and more.

The discovery document URL is typically published by an OpenID Provider (OP) and must be known before calling this method. The format of the URL is standardized and typically takes the form:

https://www.youropenidserver.com/.well-known/openid-configuration

Call GetDiscoveryDoc before calling GetAuthorization to populate the control properties with information required to complete the authorization. The retrieved information includes endpoint URLs as well as the OpenID public certificates used to verify the signature on the ID Token. After calling this method the following properties are populated:

• ServerAuthURL
• ServerTokenURL
• ServerUserInfoURL
• SignerCertURL

The above values may be stored, and later populated from the stored values, to avoid the requirement of calling GetDiscoveryDoc on subsequent authorization requests.

The following discovery document fields are populated after GetDiscoveryDoc returns:

• DiscoveryDocDetailsAuthorizationURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsClaimsParamSupported
• DiscoveryDocDetailsIssuer
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSignerCertURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsRegistrationURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsServiceDocsURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedClaims
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedDisplays
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedGrantTypes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedResponseTypes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsSupportedScopes
• DiscoveryDocDetailsTokenURL
• DiscoveryDocDetailsUserInfoURL

To access values not automatically parsed by the control the XPath configuration setting may be set to retrieve a specific value. Alternatively the RawJSON setting returns the entire JSON document which may be parsed separately.

GetParam Method (OpenID Control)

Gets a specific parameter from a query string.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GetParam ParamName

Remarks

This method can be used to get a specific parameter from a query string.

For example, when using the ocpApplication profile, this method can be used in the ReturnURL event to query the parameters that are returned from the authorization server. Then, it can be called after GetAuthorization completes to query the parameters that the token server responded with.

string authorizationString = oauth.GetAuthorization(); string stateValue = oauth.GetParam("state");

GetUserInfo Method (OpenID Control)

Retrieves claims about the user.

Syntax

openidcontrol.GetUserInfo 

Remarks

This method retrieves claims about the user. Before calling the GetUserInfo method, a successful call to GetAuthorization must be made. The access token returned by GetAuthorization is used by the OpenID provider at ServerUserInfoURL to identify the user for which claims are being retrieved.

When this method is called the control requests the claims about the user from the ServerUserInfoURL. The resulting claims are available in the UserDetails property.

Note: The GetUserInfo method will populate the UserDetails property with the claims returned in the ID Token during the authorization process. This method may not need to be called in order to access the desired claims about the user.

openid.GetUserInfo(); // ... use the user info in the remainder of your application ...

Interrupt Method (OpenID Control)

This method interrupts the current method.

Syntax

openidcontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

This method will reset the control.

Syntax

openidcontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method will reset the control's properties to their default values.

StartWebServer Method (OpenID Control)

Starts the embedded web server.

Syntax

openidcontrol.StartWebServer 

Remarks

This method starts the embedded web server. This method can be used to manually start the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, this is not needed as the component will automatically start and stop the web server when GetAuthorization is called. You may decide, however, to start the web server manually before calling GetAuthorization. When called, this method will also populate ReturnURL with the address of the embedded server.

StopWebServer Method (OpenID Control)

Stops the embedded web server.

Syntax

openidcontrol.StopWebServer 

Remarks

This method stops the embedded web server. Under normal circumstances, the web server will be stopped automatically during the authorization process when GetAuthorization is called. If ReUseWebServer is set to True, the server will not be automatically stopped, and this method must be called to stop the embedded web server.

Connected Event (OpenID Control)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Connected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0 and Description is "OK".

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the TCP/IP error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

EndTransfer Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_EndTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

This event is fired first when the client finishes sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text finishes transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Error Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Header Event (OpenID Control)

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Header(Field As String, Value As String)

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

LaunchBrowser Event (OpenID Control)

Fires before launching a browser with the authorization URL.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_LaunchBrowser(URL As String, Command As String)

Remarks

When the ClientProfile property is set to ocpApplication and GetAuthorization is called, the control will fire this event with the Command, which will be executed by the control. The URL parameter will be the authorization URL that the user will be directed to authenticate.

Within this event, you may override the current value of either Command or URL and provide your own value. If Command is set to an empty string, the control will not attempt to launch the browser and instead you will be responsible for directing the user to the authorization URL specified by the URL parameter.

In Windows, ShellExecute is used to execute Command, which limits the verbs available for use in Command to:

• edit
• explore
• find
• open
• print

Log Event (OpenID Control)

Fired once for each log message.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Log(LogLevel As Integer, Message As String, LogType As String)

Remarks

This event is fired once for each log message generated by the control. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"

• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

Redirect Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when a redirection is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Redirect(Location As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired in cases in which the client can decide whether or not to continue with the redirection process. The Accept parameter is always True by default, but if you do not want to follow the redirection, Accept may be set to False, in which case the control fails with an error. Location is the location to which the client is being redirected. Further control over redirection is provided in the FollowRedirects property.

ReturnURL Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when the user is redirected to the embedded web server.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_ReturnURL(URLPath As String, QueryString As String, State As String, ResponseHeaders As String, ResponseBody As String)

Remarks

When ClientProfile is set to ocpApplication and the embedded web server is used (default), this event will fire when the user is redirected from authorization server back to the local embedded web server. The event provides an opportunity to set the ResponseHeaders and ResponseBody and provide a custom response that the user will see in their browser.

URLPath and QueryString are informational parameters that show the values sent by the authorization server.

State holds the value of the state parameter that was originally sent with the authorization request. This may be used to maintain state between the request and response. See State for more details.

SetCookie Event (OpenID Control)

Fired for every cookie set by the server.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_SetCookie(Name As String, Value As String, Expires As String, Domain As String, Path As String, Secure As Boolean)

Remarks

This event is fired for every Set-Cookie: header received from the HTTP server.

The Name parameter contains the name of the cookie, with the corresponding value supplied in the Value parameter.

The Expires parameter contains an expiration time for the cookie (if provided by the server). The time format used is "Weekday, DD-Mon-YY HH:MM:SS GMT". If the server does not provide an expiration time, the Expires parameter will be an empty string. In this case, the convention is to drop the cookie at the end of the session.

The Domain parameter contains a domain name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a domain name, the Domain parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the server specified in the URL (URLServer) as the cookie domain.

The Path parameter contains a path name to limit the cookie to (if provided by the server). If the server does not provide a cookie path, the Path parameter will be an empty string. The convention in this case is to use the path specified in the URL (URLPath) as the cookie path.

The Secure parameter specifies whether the cookie is secure. If the value of this parameter is True, the cookie value must be submitted only through a secure (HTTPS) connection.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (OpenID Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

StartTransfer Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_StartTransfer(Direction As Integer)

Remarks

This event is fired first when the client starts sending data to the server (in a POST or PUT request) and then when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

Status Event (OpenID Control)

Fired when the HTTP status line is received from the server.

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Status(HTTPVersion As String, StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

HTTPVersion is a string containing the HTTP version string as returned from the server (e.g., "1.1").

StatusCode contains the HTTP status code (e.g., 200), and Description the associated message returned by the server (e.g., "OK").

Transfer Event (OpenID Control)

Fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

Sub openidcontrol_Transfer(Direction As Integer, BytesTransferred As Long64, PercentDone As Integer, Text As String)

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
