Extension:OpenID Connect

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.

Installation
This extension requires PluggableAuth to be installed first. It also requires the OpenID Connect PHP library, which may be installed using composer.

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).

Configuration parameters
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) Fill in the full URL of the Special:PluggableAuthLogin page of your wiki 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 values for,  ,   and.

Example: Using it against Azure ADFS
Three parameters are required to use this extension to authenticate against Azure ADFS: a tenant id, a client id, and a secret.

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 corretness 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 "*".

Known Bugs

 * 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 short URLs or by setting $wgArticlePath appropriately.
 * This extension may not work correctly with  (see T147161).
 * This extension does not work on non-standard ports unless you manually update the underlying Openid connect client, see: https://github.com/jumbojett/OpenID-Connect-PHP/issues/58. Issue also applies when to other webserver than IIS.
