Extension:OpenID Connect/fi

The OpenID Connect extension extends the PluggableAuth extension to provide authentication using OpenID Connect.

Special thanks to jumbojett for the OpenID Connect PHP library used by this extension.

Install Dependencies
Add the line  to the "composer.local.json" file in the root directory of your wiki, e.g.

Then run  in the root directory of your wiki. This will install any dependencies (i.e. the jumbojett OpenID Connect PHP library).

Most configuration for OpenID Connect is handled by a file found at on the provider's domain. This contains most of the settings that are needed to handle authentication.

When configuring the identity provider, it will ask for a redirect URL or callback URL. Use the full URL to the Special:PluggableAuthLogin page for that value.

A simple example of the configuration for a single issuer is as follows:

An example of the configuration for multiple issuers is as follows:

Example: Google as an Issuer

 * 1) Using the Google Developer Console create a project.
 * 2) Click on the project, click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines in the top left), and click on   on the menu.
 * 3) Click the   button and select  . Fill in the consent screen information and save.
 * 4) Provide the redirect URI in  :
 * 5) Click.
 * 6) Note the   and   that are assigned.

The Google issuer is now configured. Add the corresponding configuration to your LocalSettings.php file, filling in the  and   fields with the values assigned above.

You may also assign other values such as  and.

Example: Using it against Azure Active Directory

 * 1) In the Azure portal, go to 'Active Directory' and then 'App Registrations'
 * 2) Register a new Application
 * 3) Provide a Name
 * 4) Likely specify 'Accounts in this org directory only'
 * 5) Provide redirect URI:
 * 6) In the new app, go to 'Certificates and secrets' and create a new Client secret
 * 7) Using the 'Application (client) ID', Directory (tenant) ID, and Secret from the application, populate your LocalSettings.php:

Tärkeät huomiot

 * Using the Client secret will result in the expiration of the key
 * The .well-known/openid-configuration location was derived from the 'OpenID Connect metadata document' endpoint in the app Endpoints.

Example: Using it against Keycloak
Assumptions:
 * Your Keycloak realm name is acme
 * Your Keycloak URL and Port is  https://keycloak.local:8080 
 * Your Keycloak Client ID is set to mediawiki
 * Your auto-genertated client secret is 12345

Troubleshooting:
 * If you´re running into trouble, like "The provider {$param} could not be fetched. Make sure your provider has a well known configuration available.", your URI is wrong. You can test the correctness by calling  https://keycloak.local:8080/auth/realms/acme/.well-known/openid-configuration  in your browser. If you get back a long JSON, the path is correct.
 * Make sure the redirect uri provided by this OIDC plugin is set valid for your keycloak-server under acme -> Clients -> mediawiki -> Settings -> valid redirect uris . For testing purposes you can add a wildcard "*".

Example: Using it with Okta
As of the date this example was written, a bug exists in the OpenID Connect PHP library which causes stricter OIDC providers like Okta to reject certain requests. This should be resolved in the future when the library is updated to incorporate the change. The solution is to add a single line of code to $MEDIAWIKI_ROOT/extensions/OpenIDConnect/vendor/jumbojett/openid-connect-php/src/OpenIDConnectClient.php as follows: right below: simply add:

To authenticate your users against Okta, you must first create a new OIDC app in your Okta org and assign it to the relevant users/groups, etc.

Okta OIDC app settings
Allowed grant types: (all) Login redirect URIs: the full URL to Special:PluggableAuthLogin, e.g. https://www.example.com/wiki/index.php/Special:PluggableAuthLogin Login flow: "Redirect to app to initiate login (OIDC compliant)" Initiate login URI: the full URL to Special:UserLogin, e.g. https://www.example.com/wiki/index.php/Special:UserLogin

Laajennuksen asetukset
You must specify the openid, profile, and email scopes to communicate with Okta. If you omit the appropriate scopes, Okta will gladly authenticate your users but will not return any useful claims.

Auto-creating users
If you want to take advantage of MediaWiki's user auto-creation (e.g. ), be aware that Okta's preferred_username claims take the format of an email address.

If you do not want your users to have an @ character in their usernames (this is forbidden by MediaWiki by default), you will need to specify an alternative claim to use via the 'preferred_username' key in your $wgPluggableAuth_Config.

Allowing @ in usernames may break your wiki's Interwiki compatibility (if you rely on that). To allow the use of the @ character, just set and  in LocalSettings.php.

Gitlab configuration:

 * Login to Gitlab Admin Area
 * Go to Applications -> New Application
 * Name: MediaWiki
 * Redirect URI: < >/wiki/Special:PluggableAuthLogin
 * Trusted: yes
 * Confidential: yes
 * Scopes: openid, profile, email
 * Submit
 * Copy Application ID and Secret to

MediaWiki Configuration
Open wfLoadExtension( 'PluggableAuth' ); $wgPluggableAuth_EnableLocalLogin = true; #= false; wfLoadExtension( 'OpenIDConnect' ); $wgPluggableAuth_Config['Login with your Gitlab Account'] = [ 'plugin' => 'OpenIDConnect', 'data' => [ 'providerURL' => '...', # Add your gitlab server here (main page) 'clientID' => '...',    # Insert Gitlab Application ID here! 'clientsecret' => '...', # Insert Gitlab Secret here! # Alternative 'nickname' # Alternative 'name' 'preferred_username' => 'nickname' ] ]; You can find more information to Gitlab's docs at OpenID Connect Provider.

Tunnetut ongelmat

 * Wikis that use URLs of the form  (i.e. having the page title provided as a query parameter) will not be redirected correctly to complete the authentication flow. Instead, URLs must be of the form , which can be accomplished by using  or by setting  appropriately.
 * This extension may not work correctly with . In this case you also need to set (see ).
 * This extension does not work on non-standard ports unless you manually update the underlying Openid connect client, see: jumbojett/OpenID-Connect-PHP issue 58 on GitHub. This issue also applies when connecting to other webserver than IIS.
 * When running the  maintenance script, both the PluggableAuth and OpenID Connect extensions need to be disabled by commenting out their   calls.
