CyberArk Identity JavaScript SDK

Introduction

CyberArk Identity JavaScript SDK provides an authorization framework which enables you to implement CyberArk's OAuth client and OpenID Connect client within your application.
Using this SDK, you can integrate OAuth and OpenID Connect clients with different grant flows for authentication and authorization.

How to install?

  1. Create a PAT(Personal Access Token) in your GitHub account.
    1.1 Go to Settings on Github
    1.2 Go to Developer settings
    1.3 Click the Personal Access Token item
    1.4 Click Generate new token
    1.5 Select repo and read:packages under scopes section
    1.6 Click Generate token

Personal Access token in GitHub

  1. Open a terminal in the root folder location of your project.
$ npm login [email protected] --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com

> Username: USERNAME
> Password: TOKEN
> Email: PUBLIC-EMAIL-ADDRESS
  1. Add the ".npmrc" file In the same directory as your package.json file.
@cyberark:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
  1. (Optional) Navigate to Github -> Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal Access Token.
    Click on Configure SSO -> Authorize (cyberark).
1623
  1. (Optional) Click on Continue to grant PAT access to the CyberArk organization.
602
  1. (Optional) Post PAT access to CyberArk, click on the Continue to GitHub Personal Access Token page.
591
  1. Execute this command in the terminal opened in step 2.
$ npm install @cyberark/[email protected]

Authentication Process

The basic authentication process is as follows:

The client requests authentication for a user by calling StartAuthentication and passing enough information to identify the user and tenant.

StartAuthentication ()

Start the authentication process by specifying a user, then retrieve the authentication challenge(s) and subsequent mechanism(s) that the user must answer.

Syntax
startAuthentication(url, tenantID, username)
Parameters
* `url` - CyberArk Identity Application URL
* `tenantID` - Your CyberArk Identity Tenant ID
* `username` - login username

After the server receives the request, it validates the user and tenant ID specified in the body. It creates an MFA package response, which includes a session ID and an array of zero, one, or two authentication challenges for the client.

When your client receives this response, it must iterate through all the Challenges elements.
After the user submits the password, the client calls the AnswerChallenge() method.

AnswerChallenge()

When the client sends the mechanismId and answer, it will initiate the following authentication process.

Syntax
answerChallenge (mechanismId ,answer)
Parameters
* mechanismId – challenge which will complete by the user for authentication
* tenantID - tenantId of the user

StartPoll()

For Out of bounds(OOB) mechanisms, It will initiate polling.

The client can present a mechanism, such as a password, to the user. Once the user has entered the data, your client will send that to the server. A more involved mechanism is an Out of Bounds (OOB) challenge, which involves an additional entity in the authentication process.

Example: To use StartPoll, the mobile OTP will be sent to the user's registered mobile phone for authentication, and email OTP will be sent to the user's registered email address.

Syntax
startPoll (MechanismId, callback)
Parameters
* `MechanismId` -  As part of the `StartAuthentication` response, you will receive `MechanismId` based on the configured policy
* `callback` - Callback function on success or failure

TOTP Authentication

Instantiate OAuth client library

Instantiate the OAuth client library with the CyberArkIdentityOAuthClient object by providing the OAuth client application details that allow your application to make authorized API requests.

You can create the CyberArkIdentityOAuthClient object in any of the following ways:

  1. tenantURL, applicationId and clientId parameters acts as meta-data behind the scenes.
const identityOAuthClient;
identityOAuthClient = new CyberArkIdentityOAuthClient (tenantURL, appId, clientId);
  1. tenantURL, applicationId, clientId and clientSecret parameters acts as meta-data behind the scenes.
const identityOAuthClient;
identityOAuthClient = new CyberArkIdentityOAuthClient (tenantURL, appId, clientId, clientSecret);

Build an Authorize URL

Create an AuthorizeUrlBuilder to authenticate the user with the CyberArk Identity provider. The redirectUri must be white-listed in the Redirect destinations section under General Usage section of OAuth client application.
This method will accept additional parameters like Key-value pairs.
For example:- To pass the one-time auth token as a key-value pair, "AUTH" as a key and the one-time auth token as a value and additional parameters will append as a query string to the authorized URL.

Exchange authorization code for Access Token

Use the identityOAuthClient instance to use the code received in the previous step to get the accesstoken.

It is applicable for Authorization code+PKCE flow

identityOAuthClient.requestToken (grantType, codeVerifier, redirectUrl,authorizationCode, serviceUser, serviceUserPwd)
Required parameters
