Apple can be used as a federated authenticator in WSO2 Identity Server.  

How it works

When a user attempts to log in to a client application through Apple Sign In:

  1. The client application initiates the authentication flow by communicating with WSO2 Identity Server.
  2. WSO2 Identity Server redirects the user to the Apple Sign In page.
  3. Apple authenticates the user and redirects the user back to WSO2 Identity Server with an authorization code.
  4. WSO2 Identity Server sends the authorization code to the Apple Sign In token endpoint and requests an ID token in return.
  5. Apple validates the client application's client ID, client secret, and authorization code and responds with an ID token, access token, and refresh token.
  6. WSO2 Identity Server validates the received ID token and extracts the authenticated user information.
  7. WSO2 Identity Server completes the authentication flow by redirecting back to the client application with the authenticated user information.

Configurations

Follow the steps below to configure WSO2 Identity Server to authenticate users using their Apple credentials. 

Before you begin

  1. Register an application on the Apple Developer Portal.

    Make sure you have the following:

    • Client ID: This identifies the requests sent from WSO2 Identity Server to the application.
    • Client secret: This authenticates the requests sent from WSO2 Identity Server to the application.
    • Callback URL: This is the URL to which Apple sends the response after authenticating the user.
  2. Sign in to WSO2 Identity Server Management Console.
