Setting up the databases and starting the servers

In order to start the servers, configure the databases in both the Identity and Access Management (IAM) and the API Manager (APIM) servers according to the open banking specification, as follows:

  1. Open the <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/repository/resources/finance/scripts/startup.properties  file and configure the following:

    • Specify the hostnames for the API Management and Identity and Access Management servers.

      # Specify the hostname you want to configure
      APIM_HOSTNAME=localhost
      IAM_HOSTNAME=localhost
    • Configure the databases related properties.

      Database PropertyDescription
      DB_TYPE

      Type of the database you installed

      DB_USER Database user
      DB_PASS Password set for the database connection
      DB_HOST Name of the database server
      DB_DRIVER

      Configure DB_DRIVER according to the database installed:

      - Mysql JDBC Driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
      - MSSQL JDBC Driver = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
      - Oracle JDBC Driver = oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
      - PostgreSQL JDBC Driver = org.postgresql.Driver

      If you are using a MS SQL, Oracle, or a PostgreSQL database, see the following topics and configure the databases.

  2. Run the <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/repository/resources/finance/scripts/configure-iam.sh file according to your specification:

    If you're setting up Open Banking for Berlin and using Oracle or PostgreSQL databases, update the data type of the given field:  

     Click here to see the field to be updated...
  3. Go to the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/repository/resources/finance/scripts directory and configure the database properties in the startup.properties file, similar to Step 1.

  4. Run the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/repository/resources/finance/scripts/configure-am.sh file.

    If you are setting up WSO2 Open Banking for Berlin:

    WSO2 Open Banking contains a mock back end. To configure the mock back end for Berlin specification:

    • Open the deployment.toml files: 

      • <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml
      • <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml

    • Update the mock back end URL as follows: 

      [open_banking]
      sharable_accounts_retrieve_endpoint ="https://localhost:9443/api/openbanking/backend-berlin/services/v130/accounts/shareable" 
      payable_accounts_retrieve_endpoint = "https://localhost:9443/api/openbanking/backend-berlin/services/v130/accounts/payable"

    You have configured databases in step 1. By running the configure.sh files, you set the database credentials with reference to the configuration files.  

     Click here for more information

    The configure.sh scripts configure the solution according to the given specification:

    By default, values are set for the UK specification. Other supported specifications include:

    If you are setting up WSO2 Open Banking for Australia:

    1. According to Consumer Data Standards , an access token must expire between 2 minutes to 10 minutes after issuing it.  To configure the validity period of the access token in seconds, add the given configurations to the  <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml  file. 

      [oauth.token_validation]
      user_access_token_validity = 120
    2. To enable Request-URI validation during the account retrieval process; validate the account ID against the account ID in the consent, open  the <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml   file and set the following property to  true: 

      [open_banking.account_id_validation_on_retrieval]
      enable = true
  5. You are now ready to start the servers. In the command line, navigate to the  <WSO2_OB_IAM_HOME>/bin  directory, and run the following command to start the Identity and Access Management server:

    ./wso2server.sh  
  6. Run the following command from the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/bin directory to start the API Manager server:

    ./wso2server.sh  

Configuring consumer authentication

If you're setting up WSO2 Open Banking for Australia:

By default, WSO2 Open Banking comes with basic authentication configured. For CX guideline aligned experience, you can configure Identifier-first authentication paired with a secondary identity provider. In this section, we configure SMS OTP as the secondary identity provider.

 Click here to see how it is done

Configuring Identifier-first authentication

The Identifier-first login enables identifying the individuals prior to authenticating them. It retrieves the identity of the user without using authentication information and uses that identity to control the authentication flow. For more information, see Identifier-first Flow Handler.

The Identifier-first is a handler that can be configured at any step in the authentication flow. However, it is not an authenticator by itself and needs to be configured along with another authenticator for the authentication process to be successful.

Configuring SMS OTP Authenticator

Follow the steps below to configure SMS OTP Authenticator.
  1. Start the WSO2 Open Banking Identity and Access Management (WSO2 OB IAM) server. Sign in to the Management Console (https://<WSO2_OB_IAM_HOST>:9446/carbon) as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to the Main menu to access the Identity menu. Click Add under Identity Providers.
  3. Fill the Basic Information section and name this identity provider SMSAuthentication .
  4. Expand the Federated Authenticators > SMS OTP Configuration section.

  5. Select both the Enable and Default checkboxes. This is to enable and make the SMSAuthentication authenticator the default one.

    Based on your SMS provider, fill out the SMS OTP configurations.

    If Twilio is used as the SMS provider,
    • Go to https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio and create an account.

    • While registering the account, verify your mobile number and click on console home https://www.twilio.com/console to get free credits (Account SID and Auth Token).

    • Twilio uses a POST method with headers and the text message and phone number are sent as the payload. So the fields would be as follows.

      If you pass the text message and the phone number in any field, you have to replace them with $ctx.num and $ctx.msg respectively.
      E.g., Body=$ctx.msg&To=$ctx.num&From=+12345678

    Currently, the WSO2 Open Banking Identity and Access Management module supports only the following SMS providers.

  6. Click Register to add the Identity Provider. 
  7. Open the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/deployment.toml file.  Update the value of the idp_name parameter with the name of the identity provider.

    [open_banking.sca]
    idp_name = "SMSAuthentication"

    To verify the SMSAuthentication authenticator:

     Click here to see how to verify the SMSAuthentication authenticator configurations...
