Field whitelist filters

AM has a predefined allowlist that only records values that do not contain sensitive information. Use this property to allowlist fields in addition to the built-in list.

Each field filter should be provided using a JSON Pointer-like syntax which is prefixed with the event’s topic. The topic will be one of access, activity, authentication, or config.

For example, to record the values of the Accept-Language HTTP header in access events, the pointer is /access/http/request/headers/accept-language.

amster attribute: whitelistFieldFilters

Field blacklist filters

Denylist filters can be used to remove audit event fields which are allowlisted by default. These are fields which are safe to log but which you have decided are not necessary for your requirements.

Each field filter should be provided using a JSON Pointer-like syntax which is prefixed with the event’s topic. The topic will be one of access, activity, authentication, or config.

For example, you might want to filter out surnames by hiding the sn field from activity events. To do so, add the following pointers to the Field blacklist filters list:

  • /activity/before/sn

  • /activity/after/sn

The JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants specification states that an authorization server may reject JWTs with an "exp" claim value that is unreasonably far in the future and an "iat" claim value that is unreasonably far in the past. This enforcement may be disabled, but should only be done if the security implications have been evaluated.

Default value: true

amster attribute: jwtTokenLifetimeValidationEnabled

JWT Unreasonable Lifetime (seconds)

Specify the lifetime (in seconds) of a JWT which should be considered unreasonable and rejected by validation.

The JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization Grants specification states that an authorization server may reject JWTs with an "exp" claim value that is unreasonably far in the future and an "iat" claim value that is unreasonably far in the past. During token validation AM enforces that the token must expire within the specified duration and if the "iat" claim value is present, the token must not be older than the specified duration.

Default value: 86400

amster attribute: jwtTokenUnreasonableLifetime

JWT Required Claims

Specify a custom list of claims that will be treated as required during validation of an OAuth 2.0 authorization grant or client authentication JWT.

Use Policy Engine for Scope decisions

With this setting enabled, the policy engine is consulted for each scope value that is requested.

Scope decisions are made in the following way when based on the policy engine:

  • If a policy returns an action of GRANT=true, the scope is consented automatically, and the user is not consulted in a user-interaction flow.

  • If a policy returns an action of GRANT=false, the scope is not added to any resulting token, and the user will not see it in a user-interaction flow.

  • If no policy returns a value for the GRANT action:

    • For user-facing grant types, such as the authorization or device code flows, the user is asked for consent or saved consent is used.

    • For grant types that are not user-facing, such as those using password or client credentials, the scope is not added to any resulting token.

This setting can be overridden at the client level. See client profile configuration.

Default value: false

amster attribute: usePolicyEngineForScope

Modified Timestamp Attribute Name

The identity Data Store attribute used to return modified timestamp values.

This attribute is paired together with the Created Timestamp Attribute Name attribute (createdTimestampAttribute). You can leave both attributes unset (default) or set them both. If you set only one attribute and leave the other blank, the access token fails with a 500 error.

For example, when you configure AM as an OpenID Connect Provider in a Mobile Connect application and use DS as an identity data store, the client accesses the userinfo endpoint to obtain the updated_at claim value in the ID token. The updated_at claim obtains its value from the modifiedTimestampAttribute attribute in the user profile. If the profile has never been modified the updated_at claim uses the createdTimestampAttribute attribute.

amster attribute: modifiedTimestampAttribute

Created Timestamp Attribute Name

The identity Data Store attribute used to return created timestamp values.

Check TLS Certificate Revocation Status

Whether to check if TLS client certificates have been revoked.

If enabled then AM will check if TLS client certificates used for client authentication have been revoked using either OCSP (preferred) or CRL. AM implements "soft fail" semantics: if the revocation status cannot be established due to a temporary error (e.g., network error) then the certificate is assumed to still be valid.

Default value: false

amster attribute: tlsCertificateRevocationCheckingEnabled

OCSP Responder URI

URI of the OCSP responder service to use for checking certificate revocation status.

If specified this value overrides any OCSP or CRL mechanisms specified in individual certificates.

amster attribute: tlsOcspResponderUri

OCSP Responder Certificate

PEM-encoded certificate to use to verify OCSP responses.

If specified this certificate will be used to verify the signature on all OCSP responses. Otherwise the appropriate certificate will be determined from the trusted CA certificates.

amster attribute: tlsOcspResponderCert

Macaroon Token Format

Default value: false

amster attribute: nbfClaimRequiredInRequestObject

Max nbf and exp difference

The maximum permitted difference, in minutes, between the nbf and exp claims, as defined in the request object JWT.

A value of 0 indicates that there is no maximum time requirement.

If set to a value greater than 0, and either nbf or exp is not defined, the JWT is validated successfully, providing the claims are not required.

If set to a value greater than 0, and both claims are present, the JWT is validated accordingly, even when not required.

To comply with the FAPI security profile, this setting must be 60 (minutes) or less.

Default value: 0

amster attribute: maxDifferenceBetweenRequestObjectNbfAndExp

Max nbf age

The maximum permitted age, in minutes, of the nbf claim.

A value of 0 indicates that there is no maximum time requirement.

If set to a value greater than 0, and nbf is neither required nor specified, the JWT is validated successfully.

/authorize?client_id=myClient&request={JWT with scope=openid, response_type=id_token}

OAuth 2.0 requests that do not fall into this category, such as PAR, or non-OpenID Connect JWT requests, are processed according to the JAR specification, regardless of the value of this setting.

The possible values are:

This table summarizes the differences between the rules that need to be adhered to in each case.

Specification Rules
OIDC specification JAR specification

Request object

May be unsigned.

Must be JWS signed, and optionally, JWE encrypted.

Authorization request parameters

Assembles parameters from both the request object and the query parameters.

If duplicates exist, the request object parameter takes precedence.

Assembles parameters from the request object ONLY.

Duplicates that are defined as query parameters are ignored.

Required request parameters

  • client_id

  • response_type

  • scope, including openid scope value

  • client_id (must match the client ID specified in the request itself)

  • request OR request_uri

Default value: OIDC

amster attribute: requestObjectProcessing

PAR Request URI Lifetime (seconds)

The length of time that the PAR Request URI is valid, in seconds.

It is strongly recommended to set this value to a short interval; for example, between 5 and 150 seconds. Setting this attribute to a higher value increases the load on the CTS, and may even result in denial of service if the requests are large and consume the available storage capacity.

For information about the PAR flow, see Authorization code grant with PAR.

Default value: 90

amster attribute: parRequestUriLifetime

Require Pushed Authorization Requests

If enabled, clients must use the PAR endpoint to initiate authorization requests, otherwise AM will throw an error indicating a missing or invalid request object.

This applies to all clients, including clients that are not configured to require PAR. See Advanced client properties for details.

Default value: false

amster attribute: requirePushedAuthorizationRequests

Refresh Token Grace Period (seconds)

The time, in seconds, that a refresh token can be reused. This grace period lets OAuth 2.0 clients recover seamlessly, if the response from an original refresh token request is not received, because of a network problem or other transient issue. During the grace period, the refresh token can be reused multiple times, if the network problem persists. When the grace period ends, the refresh token is revoked.

The refresh token grace period applies only to server-side tokens, in a one-to-one storage scheme.

Having a long grace period poses a security risk. You should therefore keep the grace period as small as possible. By default, the grace period cannot exceed 120 seconds. You can override this default maximum by setting the org.forgerock.openam.oauth2.client.graceperiod.disabled advanced server property. Note, however, that exceeding the default maximum of 120 seconds is not recommended.

There is no grace period by default, so the default value is 0.

Allow Client Credentials in Token Endpoint Query Parameters

When this setting is true, you can include client credentials in token endpoint requests as query parameters.

Default value: false

For security reasons, you shouldn’t change this setting.

amster` attribute: allowClientCredentialsInTokenRequestQueryParameters

Client Dynamic Registration

The following settings appear on the Client Dynamic Registration tab:

Require Software Statement for Dynamic Client Registration

When enabled, a software statement JWT containing at least the iss (issuer) claim must be provided when registering an OAuth 2.0 client dynamically.

Default value: false

amster attribute: dynamicClientRegistrationSoftwareStatementRequired

Required Software Statement Attested Attributes

The client attributes that are required to be present in the software statement JWT when registering an OAuth 2.0 client dynamically. Only applies if Require Software Statements for Dynamic Client Registration is enabled.

Leave blank to allow any attributes to be present.

Default value: redirect_uris

amster attribute: requiredSoftwareStatementAttestedAttributes

Allow Open Dynamic Client Registration

Allow clients to register without an access token. If enabled, you should consider adding some form of rate limiting. For more information, see Client Registration in the OpenID Connect specification.

Default value: false

amster attribute: allowDynamicRegistration

Generate Registration Access Tokens

Whether to generate Registration Access Tokens for clients that register by using open dynamic client registration. Such tokens let the client access the Client Configuration Endpoint as per the OpenID Connect specification. This setting has no effect if Allow Open Dynamic Client Registration is disabled.

Default value: true

amster attribute: generateRegistrationAccessTokens

Scope to give access to dynamic client registration

Default value: dynamic_client_registration

amster attribute: dynamicClientRegistrationScope

OpenID Connect

The following settings appear on the OpenID Connect tab:

Use Force Authentication for prompt=login

This setting is applied only when you’ve implemented modules or chains, and you’ve specified the prompt=login parameter.

Default value: false.

When set to false, AM forces the end user to authenticate even if they already have a valid session. After re-authentication, AM creates a new session.

When set to true, AM forces the end user to authenticate even if they already have a valid session. But, after re-authentication, AM returns the same session ID.

If you set Use Force Authentication for prompt=login to true, you must also set the org.forgerock.openam.authentication.forceAuth.enabled advanced server property to true. If you do not do this, your users may end up in an infinite login loop.

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you leave Use Force Authentication for prompt=login set to the default value (false), so that a new session is created when the user re-authenticates.

Default value: 1812

amster attribute: radiusServerPort

Thread Pool Core Size

When a RADIUS request is received and fewer than corePoolSize threads are running, a new thread is created to handle the request, even if other worker threads are idle. If there are more than "Thread Pool Core Size" but less than "Thread Pool Max Size" threads running, a new thread will be created only if the queue is full. By setting "Thread Pool Core Size" and "Thread Pool Max Size" to the same value, you create a fixed-size thread pool. Specify a value from 1 to 100.

Secondary configurations

This service has the following secondary configurations.

radiusClient

Client IP Address

The IP Address of the client.

Section 5.4 of the RADIUS Authentication Specification, RFC 2865, indicates that the source IP address of the Access-Request packet MUST be used to identify a configured client and hence determine the shared secret to use for decrypting the User-Password field.

This property should hold the source IP address of the client. This should match the value obtained from Java’s InetSocketAddress.getAddress().toString() function.

To verify the value, send an Access-Request packet to AM’s RADIUS port and watch for a message stating: "No Defined RADIUS Client matches IP address '/127.0.0.1'. Dropping request.". The value used in this property should match the IP address returned in the single quotes.

Default value: /127.0.0.1

amster attribute: clientIpAddress

Client Secret

This secret shared between server and client for encryption of the user password.

This secret must be conveyed to the RADIUS client and entered into its configuration before the User-Password field of incoming Access-Request packets can be decrypted to validate the password for the represented by that packet.

amster attribute: clientSecret

Log Packet Contents for this Client

Indicates if full packet contents should be dumped to the log.

When troubleshooting issues with RADIUS it is helpful to know what was received in a given packet. Enabling this feature will cause packet contents to be logged in a human consumable format. The only caveat is that the USER_PASSWORD field will be obfiscated by replacing with asterisks. This should only be enabled for troubleshooting as it adds significant content to logs and slows processing.

Default value: NO

amster attribute: clientPacketsLogged

Handler Class

The fully qualified name of a class to handle incoming RADIUS Access-Requests for this client.

This class must implement the com.sun.identity.authentication.modules.radius.server.spi.AccessRequestHandler interface to handle incoming Access-Request packets and provide a suitable response. An instance of this class is created when configuration is first loaded to validate the class and then once for each new request. The configuration properties will only be passed for the request handling instances and not when validating the class.

Default value: org.forgerock.openam.radius.server.spi.handlers.OpenAMAuthHandler

amster attribute: handlerClass

Handler Class Configuration Properties

Properties needed by the handler class for its configuration.

These properties are provided to the handler via its init method prior to the call to handle the request packet. If these values are changed the next handler instance created for an incoming request will receive the updated values. Each entry assumes that the first ‘`=`’ character incurred separates a key from its value. All entries are placed in a properties file handed to each handler instance.

Default value:

realm=/
chain=ldapService

amster attribute: handlerConfig

REST APIs

amster service name: RestApis

The following settings are available in this service:

Default Resource Version

The API resource version to use when the REST request does not specify an explicit version.

The possible values for this property are:

  • Latest. If an explicit version is not specified, the latest resource version of an API is used.

  • Oldest. If an explicit version is not specified, the oldest supported resource version of an API is used. Note that since APIs may be deprecated and fall out of support, the oldest supported version may not be the first version.

  • None. If an explicit version is not specified, the request will not be handled and an error status is returned.

Default value: Latest

amster attribute: defaultVersion

Warning Header

Whether to include a warning header in the response to a request which fails to include the Accept-API-Version header.

Default value: true

The possible values for this property are:

  • Label: Enabled with Dynamic Documentation (Value: DYNAMIC)

  • Label: Enabled with Static Documentation (Value: STATIC)

  • DISABLED

Default value: STATIC

amster attribute: descriptionsState

Default Protocol Version

The API protocol version to use when a REST request does not specify an explicit version. Choose from:

The possible values for this property are:

  • Oldest. If an explicit version is not specified, the oldest protocol version is used.

  • Latest. If an explicit version is not specified, the latest protocol version is used.

  • None. If an explicit version is not specified, the request will not be handled and an error status is returned.

Default value: Latest

amster attribute: defaultProtocolVersion

Enable CSRF Protection

If enabled, all non-read/query requests will require the X-Requested-With header to be present.

Requiring a non-standard header ensures requests can only be made via methods (XHR) that have stricter same-origin policy protections in Web browsers, preventing Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Without this filter, cross-origin requests are prevented by the use of the application/json Content-Type header, which is less robust.

Default value: true

amster attribute: csrfFilterEnabled

  --operation set \
  --attributevalues maxThreads=300 queueSize=-1

Supports server-side scripts only. AM cannot configure engine settings for client-side scripts.

The configurable engine settings are as follows:

Server-side Script Timeout

The maximum execution time any individual script should take on the server (in seconds). AM terminates scripts which take longer to run than this value.

ssoadm attribute: serverTimeout

Core thread pool size

The initial number of threads in the thread pool from which scripts operate. AM will ensure the pool contains at least this many threads.

ssoadm attribute: coreThreads

Maximum thread pool size

The maximum number of threads in the thread pool from which scripts operate. If no free thread is available in the pool, AM creates new threads in the pool for script execution up to the configured maximum. It is recommended to set the maximum number of threads to 300.

ssoadm attribute: maxThreads

Thread pool queue size

Specifies the number of threads to use for buffering script execution requests when the maximum thread pool size is reached.

For short, CPU-bound scripts, consider a small pool size and larger queue length. For I/O-bound scripts, for example, REST calls, consider a larger maximum pool size and a smaller queue.

Not hot-swappable: restart server for changes to take effect.

ssoadm attribute: queueSize

Thread idle timeout (seconds)

Length of time (in seconds) for a thread to be idle before AM terminates created threads. If the current pool size contains the number of threads set in Core thread pool size idle threads will not be terminated, to maintain the initial pool size.

ssoadm attribute: idleTimeout

Java class allowlist

Specifies the list of class-name patterns allowed to be invoked by the script. Every class accessed by the script must match at least one of these patterns.

You can specify the class name as-is or use a regular expression.

ssoadm attribute: whiteList

Java class denylist

Specifies the list of class-name patterns that are NOT allowed to be invoked by the script. The denylist is applied AFTER the allowlist to exclude those classes. Access to a class specified in both the allowlist and the denylist will be denied.

You can specify the class name to exclude as-is or use a regular expression.

ssoadm attribute: blackList

Use system SecurityManager

If enabled, AM will make a call to System.getSecurityManager().checkPackageAccess(…​) for each class that is accessed. The method throws SecurityException if the calling thread is not allowed to access the package.

This feature only takes effect if the security manager is enabled for the JVM.

ssoadm attribute: useSecurityManager

Scripting languages

Select the languages available for scripts on the chosen type. Either GROOVY or JAVASCRIPT.

ssoadm attribute: languages

Default Script

The source code that is presented as the default when creating a new script of this type.

ssoadm attribute: defaultScript

Session

amster service name: SessionUserService

General

The following settings appear on the General tab:

Latest Access Time Update Frequency

Defaults to 60 seconds. At most, AM updates a session’s latest access time this often.

Subsequent touches to the session that occur within the specified number of seconds after an update will not cause additional updates to the session’s access time.

Refreshing a session returns the idle time as the number of seconds since an update has occurred, which will be between 0 and the specified Latest Access Time Update Frequency.

Default value: 60

amster attribute: latestAccessTimeUpdateFrequency

DN Restriction Only Enabled

If enabled, AM will not perform DNS lookups when checking restrictions in cookie hijacking mode.

Default value: false

amster attribute: dnRestrictionOnly

Session Timeout Handler implementations

The possible values for this property are:

  • ON

  • OFF

Default value: OFF

amster attribute: propertyChangeNotifications

Notification Properties

Lists session properties for which AM can send notifications upon modification. Session notification applies to server-side sessions only.

amster attribute: notificationPropertyList

Session quotas

The following settings appear on the Session Quotas tab:

Enable Quota Constraints

If enabled, AM lets you set quota constraints on server-side sessions.

The possible values for this property are:

  • ON

  • OFF

Default value: OFF

amster attribute: iplanet-am-session-enable-session-constraint

Read Timeout for Quota Constraint

Maximum wait time after which AM considers a search for live session count as having failed if quota constraints are enabled, in milliseconds.

Default value: 6000

amster attribute: quotaConstraintMaxWaitTime

Resulting behavior if session quota exhausted

Specify the action to take if a session quota is exhausted:

The possible values for this property are:

  • Deny Access (org.forgerock.openam.session.service.DenyAccessAction). New session creation requests are denied.

  • Destroy Next Expiring org.forgerock.openam.session.service.DestroyNextExpiringAction). The session that would expire next is destroyed.

  • Destroy Oldest (org.forgerock.openam.session.service.DestroyOldestAction). The oldest session is destroyed.

  • Destroy All (org.forgerock.openam.session.service.DestroyAllAction). All previous sessions are destroyed.

Default value: org.forgerock.openam.session.service.DestroyNextExpiringAction

amster attribute: behaviourWhenQuotaExhausted

Deny user login when session repository is down

This property only takes effect when the session quota constraint is enabled, and the session data store is unavailable.

The possible values for this property are:

  • YES

  • NO

Default value: NO

amster attribute: denyLoginWhenRepoDown

Client-side sessions

The following settings appear on the Client-Side Sessions tab:

Signing Algorithm Type

The algorithm that AM uses to sign the JSON Web Token (JWT) containing the session content. Signing the JWT enables tampering detection.

The possible values for this property are:

  • NONE

  • HS256. HMAC using SHA-256.

  • HS384. HMAC using SHA-384.

  • HS512. HMAC using SHA-512.

  • RS256. RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256.

  • ES256. ECDSA using SHA-256 and NIST standard P-256 elliptic curve.

  • ES384. ECDSA using SHA-384 and NIST standard P-384 elliptic curve.

  • ES512. ECDSA using SHA-512 and NIST standard P-521 elliptic curve.

Default value: HS256

amster attribute: statelessSigningType

Signing HMAC Shared Secret

Specifies the shared secret that AM uses when performing HMAC signing on the session JWT.

Specify a shared secret when using a "Signing Algorithm Type" of HS256, HS384, or HS512.

amster attribute: statelessSigningHmacSecret

Encryption Algorithm

Specifies the algorithm that AM uses to encrypt the JSON Web Token (JWT) containing the session content.

The possible values for this property are:

  • NONE. Session content is not encrypted.

  • RSA. Session content is encrypted with AES using a unique key. The key is then encrypted with an RSA public key and appended to the JWT.

    AM supports the following padding modes, which you can set using the org.forgerock.openam.session.stateless.rsa.padding advanced property:

    • RSA1_5. RSA with PKCS#1 v1.5 padding.

    • RSA-OAEP. RSA with optimal asymmetric encryption padding (OAEP) and SHA-1.

    • RSA-OAEP-256. RSA with OAEP padding and SHA-256.

  • AES_KEYWRAP. AES key wrapping.

    Session content is encrypted with AES using a unique key and is then wrapped using AES KeyWrap and the master key. This provides additional security, compared to RSA, at the cost of 128 or 256 bits (or 32 bytes) depending on the size of the master key. This method provides authenticated encryption, which removes the need for a separate signature and decreases the byte size of the JWT. See RFC 3394.

  • DIRECT. Direct AES encryption.

    Session content is encrypted with direct AES encryption, with a symmetric key. This method provides authenticated encryption, which removes the need for a separate signature and decreases the byte size of the JWT.

Users can accidentally disable all authentication by disabling signing and not using an authenticated encryption mode. To prevent this, set the org.forgerock.openam.session.stateless.signing.allownone system property to true to turn off signing completely.

Default value: DIRECT

amster attribute: statelessEncryptionType

Encryption Symmetric AES Key

AES key for use with Direct or AES KeyWrap encryption modes.

The symmetric AES key is a base64-encoded random key.

For direct encryption with AES-GCM or for AES-KeyWrap with any content encryption method, this should be 128, 192, or 256 bits.

For direct encryption with AES-CBC-HMAC, the key should be double those sizes (one half for the AES key, the other have for the HMAC key).

AES key sizes greater than 128 bits require installation of the JCE Unlimited Strength policy files in your JRE.

amster attribute: statelessEncryptionAesKey

Compression Algorithm

If enabled the session state is compressed before signing and encryption.

Enabling compression can compromise encryption. This may leak information about the content of the session state if encryption is enabled.

The possible values for this property are:

  • NONE

  • DEF. Deflate Compression.

Default value: NONE

amster attribute: statelessCompressionType

Enable Session Denylisting

Denylists client-side sessions that log out.

Enable this setting if the maximum session time is high. The denylist state is stored in the Core Token Service (CTS) token store until the session expires, to ensure that sessions cannot continue to be used.

Default value: false

amster attribute: openam-session-stateless-enable-session-blacklisting

Session Denylist Cache Size

Number of denylisted sessions to cache in memory to speed up denylist checks and reduce load on the CTS. The cache size should be approximately the number of logouts expected in the maximum session time.

Default value: 10000

amster attribute: openam-session-stateless-blacklist-cache-size

Denylist Poll Interval (seconds)

Specifies the interval at which AM polls the Core Token Service to update the list of logged out sessions, in seconds.

The longer the polling interval, the more time a malicious user has to connect to other AM servers in a deployment and make use of a stolen session cookie. Shortening the polling interval improves the security for logged out sessions, but might incur a minimal decrease in overall AM performance due to increased network activity. Set to 0 to disable this feature completely.

Default value: 60

amster attribute: openam-session-stateless-blacklist-poll-interval

Denylist Purge Delay (minutes)

When added to the maximum session time, specifies the amount of time that AM tracks logged out sessions.

Increase the denylist purge delay if you expect system clock skews in your deployment to be greater than one minute. You don’t need to increase the denylist purge delay for servers running a clock synchronization protocol, such as the Network Time Protocol.

Default value: 1

amster attribute: openam-session-stateless-blacklist-purge-delay

Dynamic attributes

Configuring any of the following properties at the realm level (Realms > Realm Name > Services > Session) causes the values to be stored in the identity store configured in that realm.

If you remove the identity store from the realm, the properties will use the values configured at the global level (Configure > Global Services > Session).

Adding properties to sessions can impact AM’s performance. There is no limit on the set of properties that you can add to sessions, and no limit on the number of session properties you can add. You must therefore remember, that adding session properties can increase the load on an AM deployment in the following areas:

  • AM server memory

  • LDAP server storage

  • LDAP server replication

Protected attributes can NOT be set, edited or deleted, even if they are included in this allowlist.

Default value: AMCtxId

amster attribute: sessionPropertyWhitelist

Session Properties to return for session queries

A list of session properties that can be returned to admins in a REST session query response.

This setting may impact REST query performance - when session properties are added, the CTS token must be retrieved, and will be the subject of decryption and decompression, if configured.

Protected attributes will NOT be allowed to be set, edited or deleted, even if they are included in this list.

Grant RPTs…​

In UMA, scope comes from both the permission ticket and from the token request. An RPT is always granted when all scopes match, and is never granted when no scope matches. You can configure when RPTs are granted for partial match conditions here. For more information, see Assessment and Results Determination in the UMA 2.0 Grant Specification.

Default value:

When the scope from the request is partially matched.
When none of the scope from the request is matched.
When the scope from the ticket is partially matched.

amster attribute: grantRptConditions

Username attribute

The name of the attribute whose value must be specified by end users when sharing resources. For example, if a user wants to share a resource with another user, based on that user’s email address, set this value to mail.

The attribute that you set here must contain unique values; otherwise, a resource share can grant access to multiple users unintentionally.

If you leave this attribute empty, UMA policies are based on the attribute that the underlying data store considers the username (for example, the LDAP user search attribute). This behavior is compatible with previous AM versions. The UMA Postman Collection sets this value to uid, which works in most deployments.

Changing this setting can invalidate existing UMA authorizations.

Default value: None

amster attribute: usernameAttribute

If enabled, each device profile is encrypted using a unique random secret key using the given strength of AES encryption in CBC mode with PKCS#5 padding. An HMAC-SHA of the given strength (truncated to half-size) is used to ensure integrity protection and authenticated encryption. The unique random key is encrypted with the given RSA key pair and stored with the device profile.

AES-256 may require installation of the JCE Unlimited Strength policy files.

The possible values for this property are:

  • Label: AES-256/HMAC-SHA-512 with RSA Key Wrapping (value: RSAES_AES256CBC_HS512)

  • Label: AES-128/HMAC-SHA-256 with RSA Key Wrapping (value: RSAES_AES128CBC_HS256)

  • Label: No encryption of device settings (value: NONE)

Default value: NONE

Encryption Key Store

Path to the key store from which to load encryption keys.

Default value: /path/to/openam/security/keystores/keystore.jceks

amster attribute: authenticatorWebAuthnDeviceSettingsEncryptionKeystore

Key Store Type

Type of key store to load.

PKCS#11 key stores require hardware support such as a security device or smart card and is not available by default in most JVM installations.

See the JDK 8 PKCS#11 Reference Guide for more details.

The possible values for this property are:

  • Label: Java Key Store (JKS) (value: JKS)

  • Label: Java Cryptography Extension Key Store (JCEKS) (value: JCEKS)

  • Label: PKCS#11 Hardware Crypto Storage (value: PKCS11)

  • Label: PKCS#12 Key Store (value: PKCS12)

Default value: JCEKS
