Using the Tags Trust Scope

The Tags trust scope allows a trusted or confidential client application to acquire an access token that gives access to other resources based on the defined tags.

Note:

The option to define the trustScope parameter is available to only trusted and confidential client applications. The option is not available to public client applications.

To use the Tags trust scope:

1. Assign the value of Tags to the trustScope parameter to enable the client application to access tags from other applications.

   Note:

   The trustScope attribute of Tags is named Tagged in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service administrative console.

2. Define the key:value pair for the AllowedTags parameter.

   Note:

   These steps assume that the appropriate Resource App has defined key:value pairs for the Tags attribute and that at least one key:value pair from the list of the allowedTags attribute of the Client App match one key:value pair of the Tags attribute of the Resource App.
   

3. Request an access token using the trusted or confidential client and request the scope urn:opc:resource:consumer::all. The access token in the response contains the audience urn:opc:resource:scope:tag=<base64 encoded JSON> and the scope urn:opc:resource:consumer::all, which gives access to Resource Apps that have tags that match the allowed tags specified in the Client App.

Note:

The requested scope should always exist and match, either directly or hierarchically, the client's defined allowed scopes to allow the client access to the resource.

Using Fine-Grained Scopes

In addition to using the urn:opc:resource:consumer::all scope, you can also specify the following fine-grained scopes:

• urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas::read

• urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:stack::all

• urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:analytics::read

The requested scope from the client app must match, either directly or hierarchically, at least one of the client's allowed scopes to allow the client access to the resource. For example, a client app uses the urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:analytics::read scope in its request for access to a resource. If the scope directly matches an allowed scope defined, then in the returned access token the audience is urn:opc:resource:scope:tag=<base64 encoded JSON> and the scope is urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:analytics::read.

If the allowed scope defined by the client is urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas::read, then the client app is allowed to access the resource hierarchically if the client requests one of the following scopes: urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas::read or urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:analytics::read. However, if the requested scope is urn:opc:resource:consumer:paas:analytics::write, then the client isn't allowed access to the resource, since that isn't one of the allowed scopes defined by the client app.

Request and Response Examples

The following examples show request and response examples for the client credentials flow using the urn:opc:resource:consumer::all scope.

Request Example

curl -i
-H 'Authorization: Basic MjA3Mz....zllNjI2'
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
--request POST 'https://tenant101.idcs.internal.oracle.com:8943/oauth2/v1/token' -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&scope=urn:opc:resource:consumer::all'

Response Example

{
"access_token":"eyJ4NX....ZbDtAw",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"expires_in":3600
}

Note:

The access token contains the audience urn:opc:resource:scope:tag=<base64 encoded JSON> and the scope urn:opc:resource:consumer::all. The following is an example of what a decoded audience looks like: aud:["urn:opc:resource:scope:tag=eyAidGFncyI6WyB7ICJrZXkiOiJjb2xvciIsInZhbHVlIjoiZ3JlZW4ifSAsICB7ICJrZXkiOiJjb2xvciIsInZhbHVlIjoiYmx1ZSJ9IF19"]

The following examples show request and response examples for the client credentials flow using a fully-qualified scope.

Request Example

curl -i
-H 'Authorization: Basic MzRjYz....Q3OWVk'
-H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
--request POST 'https://tenant-base-url/oauth2/v1/token' -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&scope=http://abccorp1.com/scope1'

Response Example

{
    "access_token":"eyJ4NXzF.....rT5SH7sUw",
    "token_type":"Bearer",
    "expires_in":3600
}
