I am using WSO2IS 5.3.0. My application is already authenticated and I have commonAuthId. How to access user management APIs with the commonAuthId in Java?

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 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
We are using the WSO2 Identity Server SOAP API to add users. Is there way to add a user without specifying a password in the SOAP Envelope?
Users can login to WSO2 Carbon management console by providing username/password. Also external system can access admin services of Carbon server by providing username/password.
Is there any ways to extend the default authentication mechanism ?
Yes. WSO2 Carbon product provides an authentication framework that can be used to extend the different authentication mechanism. By default WSO2 Carbon product is shipped with several authenticators. Some authenitcators only use for access the admin service APIs. Some are only for access management console login….. You can find more details about WSO2 Authentication framework from here
Following are currently available authenticators
IWA Authenticator : Once user is login in to the windows server machine using windows authentication, User can seamlessly login to the WSO2 Carbon management console. WSO2 Carbon product must be configured with AD
SAML2 SSO Authenticator : Once user tries to access WSO2 Carbon management console, user would be redirected to configured IDP. User only provides credentials to the IDP and would be able to login to Carbon management console seamlessly. But here, IDP and WSO2 Carbon product must have the same user for authorization purpose. Therefore sometime, same user store can be shared with IDP and Carbon products.
WebSeal Authenticator : User has already login to WebSeal server, when user tried to login to Carbon management console. User can login seamlessly. But here, IDP and WSO2 Carbon product must have the same user for authorization purpose
Mutual SSL : This is not used to login to management console. But this is used to access Admin service APIs of Carbon server.

I am very new to wso2 API manager. Sometimes an application might need to call a service in another application on behalf of a user. How can we make this in wso2 API manager by configuring Signed JWT Authenticator as like Google OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server?
If user is authenticated by saml2 in the application, then application can get the oauth token using saml token and invoke the apis on behalf of user.
check following links for more detail

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.
