I use APIManager 2.6.0 and IS 5.7.0. I configured SSO for api store and publisher using OAuth2.0 using this doc https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM260/Configuring+Single+Sign-on+with+OpenID+Connect.
I have a problem with SLO. When I log out in api publisher and then switch to api store then I'm logged out in api publisher but i'm still logged in api store.
Is it possible to configure SLO in the way that when I log out in one of the products then I'm logged out in all pages?
In OIDC there are three mechanisms to handle logout. OIDC Session management, OIDC back channel logout, OIDC front channel logout are them, out of these three WSO2 Identity Server supports OIDC session management [1]. But still the limitation is api store and publisher has not been written in a way to support OIDC Session management. Due to above reason its not possible to achieve your requirement.

I wanted to do some POC for wso2 API manager where API Manager will expose login and registration url which will be called by UI layer but wanted to handle end user authorization and authentication
in API manager layer and don't want to handle this in database how can I do this i don't to use Identity server also.
I have gone through password grant_type tutorial and we can use this but how the authorization is going to performed?
Do we need to maintain user details in separate database or in identity server? if yes how this is going to happen.
I have gone through below questions but didn't get exact solution, please help me on this.
authorize user in wso2 api manager
wso2 api manager end-user
Thanks
how can I do this i don't to use Identity server also
By default you should be using the provided OAuth2 endpoints to authorize the users. However - the API Manager itselfs doesn't support self-registration and account verification.
I'd suggest to configure a WSO2 Identity Server as an APIM Key manager.
The WSO2IS has capability for self-registration and account verification.
The application or users will authenticate against the WSO2IS and the returned token will be valid for APIM (as the KeyManager shares the database with tokens).
I have created and published API with WSO2 API Manager. API client get access through OAuth2 and client credentials grant, sending consumer key and consumer secret to request access token. But now I need to implement authorization by means of authorization code grant. I have to use client_id and client_secret of WSO2 APIM and user login form of my backend application, not WSO2 APIM user.
Can anybody tell if it is possible and how it can be implemented???
Documentation of WSO2 does not describe this flow and all examples I have found describe authorization process (OAuth2, authorization_code) only for user of WSO2 APIM.
now I need to implement authorization by means of authorization code grant.
I have to use client_id and client_secret of WSO2 APIM and user login form of my backend application, not WSO2 APIM user.
If you want to use your own (application) authentication form, the simplest option is to leverage the password grant type where your application sends the token request along application and user credentials through a backend service
Using a code grant you suppose to use an authorization endpoint https://gateway:8243/authorize with parameters described in the documentation and indeed the default login form is used when the user is not yet authenticated
(I still have an urge to downvote the question for not searching the documentation)
If you still want to use the code grant type with your own authentication form, you may either customize the default logon form of the wso2 api gateway or customize an authenticator to use form of your application (this is quite advanced topic requiring configuring your own implementation and out of scope of the question/answer)
You have 2 options here without any customizations.
1) If your backend has a userstore, it can be configured as a secondary userstore for APIM. Then you can use any user in that userstore for authentication.
See https://docs.wso2.com/display/ADMIN44x/Configuring+Secondary+User+Stores
2) If above option is not possible, and if your backend IDP supports any federation SSO protocols such as SAML2 or OIDC, you can configure federation using WSO2 IS.
See https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS550/Single+Sign-On+and+Identity+Federation
I am new to WSO2 API Manager. I have installed it to proxy my REST endpoints and to do access management via oAuth2.
Great! I managed to get access to my backend REST implementation through the oAuth2 process of API Manager (via API console). Now I want to setup the complete roundtrip starting from a user authentication process where identity is verified with corresponding roles. So...
Next I want to create a single page app and bring an authentication step by either redirect the user to a login page (authentication service) or let the user interact with single app page directly and let the single app page do the login to some authentication service.
Question:
Can I use the Key Manager component of the API Manager to handle user authentication (oAuth2 based) or do I need to install the WSO2 Identity Server to handle the authentication?
I see that WSO2 API Manager can host Users and Roles, a User Store and an endpoint to handle (authz) token requests, but can it also handle a login (authentication) request from my single app?
You can use APIM with OAuth2 Authorization code grant type. See this sample in identity server docs, but use below endpoints of APIM instead of IS endpoints.
https://localhost:8243/authorize
https://localhost:8243/token
i am newbie to the WSO2 identity server 5.0 service pack one.
I've been so confused lately that, what is different between identity provider and an outbound authentication?
How can i usage each of them ?
if i define a custom user store authentication, when must be used a custom authentication in Authentication endpoint? what is difference and usage each of them?
Identity providers are providing identity for users to interact with a system. As an example here in wso2 identity server we can configure Facebook as an Identity Provider(IDP). By doing this we can allow users to be logged into Service Providers using facebook credentials. you can follow the blog in [1] to test Wso2 IS with facebook IDP. Otherthan facebook we can use google, Live, Yahoo, etc. as IDP with IS.

I'm confused about how end user authentication works with WSO2 AM.
It looks like by default, WSO2 AM acts as the user authentication server for OAuth flows and hence validates user credentials against those entered via the API Store and stored in the Key Manager. But those users are not end users of the destination APIs, but rather developers who've signed up to build apps to use the APIs. That doesn't make sense to me, so maybe I've misunderstood the documentation?
What I need and would think most other API publishers would need is the ability to authenticate end users against an API publisher's user authentication API, and so have WSO2 AM delegate user authentication to such an external authentication API via a redirect (in case of authorization grant or implicit grant flows) or server-server call (in case of resource owner credentials grant).
How would one go about configuring such a setup, and what's the interface between the WSO2 AM and the external authentication API, for both the redirect and server-server interactions? Can you point me to any documentation or samples of such a setup?
thx,
Chris
My perspective on this is that end users consume apps directly, not APIs. App developers build apps that consume APIs. So this conforms to philosophy of WSO2 API Manager, where it is catering to the app developers.
An API publisher's user authentication API is just another API as far as the API Manager is concerned. You can expose this API through API Manager and have users(or apps in my opinion) invoke the API with specified parameters and get a response(In your case user credentials as parameters and a response based on the authentication of those credentials). What an underlying API does is of no concern to API Manager, it simply facilitates the management of the API invocation.
Often apps make authenticated user-specific requests to APIs to service users using the apps. The OAuth2 resource owner password credentials grant is one of a few OAuth grant options used by apps to obtain user-specific OAuth tokens, and it requires authenticating the user's credentials against the API publisher's user authentication API. For reference, here's apigee's documentation on how to do it.
wso2 APIM has four role models-> admin,creator,publisher and subscriber.
so those who have creator and publisher role can create and publish an api in publisher app(they are developers).
and those who have subscriber role can subscribe to api in store and generate the oath token(they are end users).So whenever a user singup from store will be assigned to subscriber role. so those who have only subscription role are endusers of that api.
so when an end user access the api using the token taken from store, he will be authenticated by APIM.
