SSO Authentication Provider

note

This service type is for dynamic Groovy services only.

Provides a Groovy script encapsulating SSO authentication logic which is executed by the GroovyUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider (com.avoka.fc.core.security.GroovyUserDetailsAuthenticationProvider) configured for the security manager.

This script is configured via the Security Manager's Authentication Providers tab.

Service Invoke Parameters

Parameters are optional except where otherwise indicated.

ParameterDescription
usernamestring
Required. The user login name, or login identifier.
authenticationSSOAuthenticationToken (com.avoka.fc.core.security.SSOAuthenticationToken)
Required. The SSO authentication token.
authParametersMap<String, String>
Required. A map of Authentication Provider configuration parameter values, keyed on parameter name.
portalPortal (com.avoka.fc.core.entity.Portal)
Required. The portal associated with the user's request.
securityManagerSecurityManager (com.avoka.fc.core.entity.SecurityManager)
Required. A SecurityManager configuration entity.

Error Handling

If an unexpected system error occurs, the script throws an AuthenticationServiceException which will be recorded in the Journey Manager database error log.

Other exceptions are used to convey authentication attempt failure information:

  • BadCredentialsException: If the user credentials are invalid.
  • UsernameNotFoundException: If the user is not found.
  • AccountNotActiveException (com.avoka.fc.core.security.AccountNotActiveException): If the user account is not active.
  • NotPortalAccountException (com.avoka.fc.core.security.NotPortalAccountException): If the user account is not associated with the portal.

Example

The script below provides an example SSO authentication provider script. It assumes the user has been successfully authenticated by a separate SSO identity management system, and a valid SSO authentication token is provided to this service.

This script performs a lookup to see if the linking SSO user account already exists in the Journey Manager database.

If the user account is found, a Spring AccountUserDetails (com.avoka.fc.core.security.AccountUserDetails) object referencing the user account record and the granted authorities (groups) from the authentication token is created. This object is then used to initialize the authenticated user session. The granted authorities can be used to enable form group access control to restricted forms by mapping provided SSO groups onto Journey Manager form groups.

If a linking SSO user account doesn't exist in the Journey Manager database, one is created using the UserService.createSsoUserAccount (com.avoka.fc.core.service.UserService) method. The returned user account object is used to initialize the AccountUserDetails object that is returned by the script.

/** Provides a Groovy script to return the AccountUserDetails for the given log-in attempt.  
The returned SSOAuthenticationToken will then be processed by the configured AuthenticationProvider(s).

Script parametes include:

Script throws:
