This topic includes a list of all the WSO2 Identity Server extension points related to OAuth and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
Implementing an OAuth Extension
Any OAuth extension listed below can be implemented, by implementing an interface or extending an abstract class as defined under each extension point.
When the implementation is done, package your classes as a .jar file and place it in the <IS_HOME>/repository/component/lib directory.
Then configure your extension in <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity/identity.xml file under the <OAuth> element referring to the 'Configuration' section of the respective extension point below.
Restart the server to effect changes.
The following are the available OAuth/OIDC extension points.
OAuth Grant Handler
Usage | This extension point is useful when you want to support an OAuth flow that is different from standard grant types. This extension point validates the grant, scopes, and access delegation. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.AuthorizationGrantHandler |
Abstract Class | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.AbstractAuthorizationGrantHandler |
Configuration | <SupportedGrantTypes> ... <SupportedGrantType> <GrantTypeName>grant type identifier </GrantTypeName> <GrantTypeHandlerImplClass>full qualified class name of grant handler</GrantTypeHandlerImplClass> </SupportedGrantType> </SupportedGrantTypes> |
Sample | See Writing a Custom OAuth 2.0 Grant Type for a sample implementation of this extension point. |
OAuth Grant Validator
Usage | This extension point can be used to implement a grant validator that validates the grant request sent to the '/oauth2/token' endpoint. Request parameters and headers can be validated by implementing this extension point. |
---|---|
Abstract Class | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.grant.AbstractValidator |
Configuration | <SupportedGrantTypes> ... <SupportedGrantType> <GrantTypeName>grant type identifier </GrantTypeName> <GrantTypeHandlerImplClass>full qualified class name of grant handler</GrantTypeHandlerImplClass> <GrantTypeValidatorImplClass>full qualified class name of grant validator</GrantTypeValidatorImplClass> </SupportedGrantType> </SupportedGrantTypes> |
Client Authentication Handler
Usage | This extension point can be used when the client credential authentication needs to be customized when issuing tokens. By default the Identity Server validate the client id and secret. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.clientauth.ClientAuthenticationHandler |
Abstract Class | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.clientauth.AbstractClientAuthHandler |
Default Implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.handlers.clientauth.BasicAuthClientAuthHandler |
Configuration | <ClientAuthHandlers> ... <ClientAuthHandler class="full qualified class name of client authentication handler"> </ClientAuthHandler> </ClientAuthHandlers> |
OAuth Token Generator
Usage | This extension point can be used to change the access token, refresh token, authorization code generation logic as preferred. By default a UUID will be generated as the token value. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.OauthTokenIssuer |
Default Implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.OauthTokenIssuerImpl |
Other Available Implementations | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.JWTTokenIssuer |
Configuration | <IdentityOAuthTokenGenerator>full qualified class name of oauth token generator</IdentityOAuthTokenGenerator> |
OAuth Callback Handler
Usage | This extension point is provided to verify whether the authenticated user is the rightful owner of the resource. There can be multiple active OAuthCallbackHandler implementations at a given time. These are registered through the identity.xml file. In run-time, each and every authorization callback handler is invoked to see whether it can handle the given callback. Then the callback with the highest priority is chosen. After handling the callback, the Identity Server can set whether the given callback is authorized or not. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.callback.OAuthCallbackHandler |
Abstract Class | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.callback.AbstractOAuthCallbackHandler |
Default Implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.callback.DefaultCallbackHandler |
Configuration | <OAuthCallbackHandlers> ... <OAuthCallbackHandler class="full qualified class name of the oauth call back handler"> <Priority>an integer value defining priority</Priority> <Properties> ... <Property Name="property name">property value</Property> ... </Properties> </<OAuthCallbackHandler> </OAuthCallbackHandlers> |
Token Persistence Processor
Usage | This extension point can be used to process keys and secrets just before storing them in the database. For example you may need to persist encrypted tokens in the database, in which you can use this extension to encrypt tokens before storing them in the database and to decrypt when retrieving back from database. If a token persistence processor is to be engaged, it is recommended to configure the respective token processor with the very first configuration of the product. Otherwise already persisted data may need to be migrated to the new format later. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.tokenprocessor.TokenPersistenceProcessor |
Default Implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.tokenprocessor.PlainTextPersistenceProcessor |
Other Available Implementations | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth.tokenprocessor.EncryptionDecryptionPersistenceProcessor |
Configuration | <TokenPersistenceProcessor>full qualified class name of the token persistence processor</TokenPersistenceProcessor> |
OAuth2 Token Validator
Usage | This extension point can be used if token validation and scope validation needs to be customized when invoking the token validation endpoint. Token validators can be registered per token type such as 'bearer'. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.validators.OAuth2TokenValidator |
Default implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.validators.DefaultOAuth2TokenValidator |
Configuration | <TokenValidators> <TokenValidator type="token type" class="full qualified class name of the oauth2 token validator"/> </TokenValidators> |
AuthorizationContext Token Generator
Usage | This extension point can be used to customize the token that can be generated relevant to the authorization context by invoking the token validation endpoint.
Finally the token is signed using SHA256 with RSA algorithm. |
---|---|
Interface | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.authcontext.AuthorizationContextTokenGenerator |
Default Implementation | org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.authcontext.JWTTokenGenerator |

Response Type Handler
Usage | This is intended to perform access delegation, scope validation and to issue tokens based on token type such as 'code', 'token' etc. Multiple implementations can be registered upon the token type. |
