Apache OpenID Connect example

This example uses the mod_auth_openidc component on CentOS7.

mod_auth_openidc: Details at https://github.com/zmartzone/mod_auth_openidc

It takes users to an attributes page after login and displays the claims/values that have been passed.

As with all of these examples, it can only show you the very basics.

Goal in this example

Authenticate a user and display all the received claims on a page. In the real world you would read the claims and feed them into your authorisation / user-session management process.

Instructions

Install mod_auth_openidc
CODE
```
sudo yum install mod_auth_openidc
```

Configure a vhost, e.g. at: /etc/httpd/conf.d/openidc.conf

CODE

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
    ServerName yourserver.net
    ServerAlias www.yourserver.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
    DirectoryIndex yourpage.html
    ErrorLog /var/log/oidc/error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/oidc/access.log combined

    OIDCProviderMetadataURL https://connect.openathens.net/.well-known/openid-configuration
    OIDCClientID YOUR_OPENATHENS_CLIENT_ID
    OIDCClientSecret YOUR_OPENATHENS_CLIENT_SECRET
    OIDCRedirectURI http://yourserver/protected/redirect_uri
    OIDCCryptoPassphrase <password>
    OIDCJWKSRefreshInterval 3600

    <Location /protected/>
       AuthType openid-connect
       Require valid-user
    </Location>

</VirtualHost>

There are three sections in the example above - first the general bits for your server, then the OIDC configuration parts and finally a location where OIDC is required

Create a target page below the /protected/ location. This example php page will read the system variables created by the OIDC module and display them:

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>

   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
   <meta name="description" content="">
   <meta name="author" content="">

   <title>OpenID Connect: Received Claims</title>

</head>

<body>

         <h3>
            Claims sent back from OpenID Connect via the Apache module
         </h3>
         <br/>


   <!-- OpenAthens attribtues -->
      <?php session_start(); ?>

         <h2>Claims</h2>
         <br/>
         <div class="row">

               <table class="table" style="width:80%;" border="1">
                 <?php foreach ($_SERVER as $key=>$value): ?>
                    <?php if ( preg_match("/OIDC_/i", $key) ): ?>
                       <tr>
                          <td data-toggle="tooltip" title=<?php echo $key; ?>><?php echo $key; ?></td>
                          <td data-toggle="tooltip" title=<?php echo $value; ?>><?php echo $value; ?></td>
                       </tr>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                 <?php endforeach; ?>
               </table>

</body>

</html>

Restart Apache ( > systemctl restart httpd)
Go to the target page in a browser.
Get sent to an OpenAthens sign-in page.
Sign in and get sent back to the attributes page.
