@chilly-king-10285 in ory kratos webhook, can we have special condition to trigger it? like may be if it have some request header
b
A message from kapa.ai
Yes, in Ory Kratos webhooks, you can set special conditions to trigger them based on request headers. This functionality is provided through the webhook configuration options. According to the [Ory Actions documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks), you can configure webhooks to be triggered based on specific conditions, including request headers. While the documentation doesn't provide a direct example for request headers in Kratos, it does mention that you can access request headers in the Jsonnet template used for customizing the webhook payload. The [Jsonnet templating documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#define-http-request) shows that you can access request headers via
ctx.request_headers
. This suggests that you could potentially use these headers to create conditional logic within your webhook configuration. For example, you might be able to create a condition in your Jsonnet template that checks for the presence or value of a specific header:
Copy code
jsonnet function(ctx) {   if "Your-Custom-Header" in ctx.request_headers then     // Trigger webhook logic here   else     // Don't trigger or handle differently }
However, it's important to note that the exact implementation details for header-based conditions in Kratos webhooks are not explicitly outlined in the provided knowledge sources. For the most up-to-date and accurate information, you may want to consult the latest Ory Kratos documentation or reach out to Ory support for specific guidance on implementing header-based conditions for webhooks.

@chilly-king-10285 how about webhook on
settings
flow only executed if the phone number is changed?
b
A message from kapa.ai
To configure a webhook in Ory Kratos that only executes on the
settings
flow when the phone number is changed, you can use the webhook configuration options and Jsonnet templating. Here's how you can approach this: 1. First, set up a webhook for the
settings
flow in your Ory Kratos configuration. According to the [Ory Actions documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#action-triggers), you can configure actions for the
after
settings flow. 2. In your webhook configuration, you can use Jsonnet templating to define the condition for executing the webhook. The [webhook configuration overview](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#configuration-overview) shows that you can use a
body
field with a Jsonnet template. 3. In your Jsonnet template, you can access the flow data and check if the phone number has changed. Here's an example of how your webhook configuration might look:
Copy code
yaml hook: web_hook config:   url: <https://your-webhook-url.com>   method: POST   body: |     function(ctx) {       local old_phone = ctx.flow.identity.traits.phone;       local new_phone = ctx.flow.ui.nodes.attributes.value;       if old_phone != new_phone then         {           // Your webhook payload here           "phone_changed": true,           "old_phone": old_phone,           "new_phone": new_phone         }       else         null  // Return null to prevent webhook execution     }
In this configuration: - We define a function that takes the context (
ctx
) as an argument. - We compare the old phone number (
ctx.flow.identity.traits.phone
) with the new phone number (
ctx.flow.ui.nodes.attributes.value
). - If they're different, we return a payload (which you can customize). - If they're the same, we return
null
, which should prevent the webhook from being executed. Please note that the exact structure of
ctx.flow
might vary, and you may need to adjust the paths to access the old and new phone numbers based on your specific identity schema and flow configuration. Remember to test this configuration thoroughly in a non-production environment first, as the exact implementation details may depend on your specific Ory Kratos version and configuration. For more detailed information on configuring webhooks and using Jsonnet templates, refer to the [Ory documentation on triggering custom logic and integrating with external systems through webhooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks).

what is the possibility options after that
b
A message from kapa.ai
Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can explain the possibilities for webhook triggers in Ory Identities after the
before
and
after
options. According to the [Ory Actions documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#action-triggers), Ory Identities supports several action triggers for both
before
and
after
scenarios. Here are the possibilities: 1. Login: -
before
login -
after
login 2. Registration: -
before
registration -
after
registration 3. Recovery: -
before
recovery -
after
recovery 4. Settings: -
before
settings -
after
settings 5. Verification: -
before
verification -
after
verification Additionally, for some flows, you can further customize the triggers based on the authentication method used. The [documentation on triggers based on authentication methods](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/hooks/configure-hooks#triggers-based-on-authentication-methods) lists the following options: - `password`: For sign-in and sign-up with username/email and password combination. - `oidc`: For sign-in and sign-up through OIDC-compliant OAuth2 identity providers. - `totp`: For MFA sign-in with a TOTP code (e.g., Google Authenticator). - `webauthn`: For MFA sign-in with WebAuthn-compatible factors or passwordless sign-up and sign-in. - `lookup_secret`: For MFA sign-in with recovery codes. For example, you could configure a webhook to trigger
after
login specifically for the
password
method:
Copy code
yaml selfservice:   flows:     login:       after:         password:           hooks:             - hook: web_hook               config:                 # Your webhook configuration here
It's important to note that the exact configuration and available options may depend on your specific Ory Identities version and setup. Always refer to the most recent documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

@chilly-king-10285 I got error
error=map[message:jsonnetsecure: ERROR: file:///opt/ory/kratos/files/templates/jsonnet/webhook-metadata-register-body.jsonnet:3:38-39 Expected token IDENTIFIER but got "["
my jsonnet
Copy code
function(ctx) {
  user_id: ctx.identity.id,
  registered_on: ctx.request_headers.['Origin'][0]
}
b
A message from kapa.ai
The error you're encountering is due to a syntax issue in your Jsonnet code. The problem is in the way you're trying to access the 'Origin' header from the
request_headers
object. Let's correct the syntax:
Copy code
jsonnet function(ctx) {   user_id: ctx.identity.id,   registered_on: ctx.request_headers['Origin'][0] }
The issue was with the extra dot (
.
) before the square brackets when accessing
request_headers['Origin']
. In Jsonnet, you don't need the dot when using square bracket notation to access object properties. Here's a breakdown of the correct syntax: 1. `ctx.request_headers`: This is correct, as you're accessing the
request_headers
property of the
ctx
object. 2. `['Origin']`: This is the correct way to access a property using square bracket notation in Jsonnet. 3. `[0]`: This is correct if you're trying to access the first element of the 'Origin' header array. Remember that according to the [Ory documentation on customizing request body with Jsonnet](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#customizing-request-body-with-jsonnet), request headers are available via
ctx.request_headers
. If you're still encountering issues after making this change, you might want to double-check that the 'Origin' header is indeed present in the request. If you're unsure, you could add some error handling:
Copy code
jsonnet function(ctx) {   user_id: ctx.identity.id,   registered_on: if 'Origin' in ctx.request_headers then ctx.request_headers['Origin'][0] else null }
This version will set
registered_on
to
null
if the 'Origin' header is not present, preventing potential errors. For more information on Jsonnet syntax and usage in Ory, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos Jsonnet reference documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/jsonnet).

@chilly-king-10285 instead of null I want empty string for default
b
A message from kapa.ai
Certainly! You can modify the Jsonnet code to return an empty string instead of
null
when the 'Origin' header is not present. Here's the updated version:
Copy code
jsonnet function(ctx) {   user_id: ctx.identity.id,   registered_on: if 'Origin' in ctx.request_headers then ctx.request_headers['Origin'][0] else '' }
In this updated code: - We're still using the conditional check
if 'Origin' in ctx.request_headers
to see if the 'Origin' header exists. - If the 'Origin' header is present, we return the first element of the array with
ctx.request_headers['Origin'][0]
. - If the 'Origin' header is not present, we now return an empty string
''
instead of
null
. This approach ensures that the
registered_on
field will always have a string value, either containing the origin information or an empty string if the header is not available. Remember to test this in your development environment to ensure it works as expected with your specific Ory Kratos setup and version. If you need more information on working with Jsonnet in Ory Kratos, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos Jsonnet reference documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/jsonnet).

@chilly-king-10285 how to debug the webhook request body like I want to print the
ctx
on syslog
b
A message from kapa.ai
To debug the webhook request body and print the
ctx
object to syslog in Ory Kratos, you can use Jsonnet's
std.trace
function. This function allows you to print debug information while executing the Jsonnet template. However, it's important to note that Ory Kratos doesn't directly write to syslog, but it does output logs which can be captured and forwarded to syslog if needed. Here's how you can modify your Jsonnet template to print the
ctx
object:
Copy code
jsonnet function(ctx) {   local debugCtx = std.trace('Debug ctx: ' + std.toString(ctx), ctx),   user_id: debugCtx.identity.id,   registered_on: if 'Origin' in debugCtx.request_headers then debugCtx.request_headers['Origin'][0] else '' }
In this code: 1. We use
std.trace()
to print the entire
ctx
object. 2.
std.toString(ctx)
converts the
ctx
object to a string representation. 3. The
local debugCtx = ...
line assigns the result of
std.trace()
back to a local variable, which we then use in the rest of the function. This will print the entire
ctx
object to the Kratos logs. You can then configure your system to forward these logs to syslog if needed. To view these logs, you'll need to set the appropriate log level in your Kratos configuration. According to the [Ory Kratos debug documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/debug/troubleshooting), you can set the log level to "trace" for the most detailed output:
Copy code
yaml log:   level: trace
Remember that printing the entire
ctx
object may include sensitive information, so be cautious about using this in a production environment. It's best to use this debugging technique in a controlled, non-production environment. For more information on debugging and logging in Ory Kratos, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos troubleshooting guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/debug/troubleshooting).

@chilly-king-10285 instead of
Origin
I want to use the
Referer
but the example value is
<https://aaaa.example.com/register>
I want only the value
<https://aaaa.example.com>
how to do that on jsonnet request body?
b
A message from kapa.ai
To use the
Referer
header instead of
Origin
and extract only the base URL (without the path) from the
Referer
value, you can modify your Jsonnet code to parse and manipulate the URL string. Here's how you can do this:
Copy code
jsonnet local parseUrl(url) =   local parts = std.split(url, '/');   if std.length(parts) >= 3 then     parts[0] + '//' + parts[2]   else     '';  function(ctx) {   user_id: ctx.identity.id,   registered_on:      if 'Referer' in ctx.request_headers then       parseUrl(ctx.request_headers['Referer'][0])     else       '' }
Let's break down this code: 1. We define a local function
parseUrl
that takes a URL string as input. 2. The function splits the URL by '/' and checks if it has at least 3 parts (protocol, empty string after '://', and domain). 3. If it does, it reconstructs the base URL using the protocol (parts[0]) and the domain (parts[2]). 4. In the main function, we check if 'Referer' exists in the request headers. 5. If it does, we apply our
parseUrl
function to the first element of the Referer header array. 6. If 'Referer' doesn't exist, we return an empty string as the default value. This approach will handle URLs like
<https://aaaa.example.com/register>
and return
<https://aaaa.example.com>
. It also handles cases where the Referer header might not be present or might have an unexpected format. Remember to test this thoroughly in your development environment to ensure it works as expected with your specific Ory Kratos setup and the actual format of your Referer headers. For more information on working with Jsonnet in Ory Kratos, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos Jsonnet reference documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/jsonnet).
