To provide an example code implementation for a browser login authentication from a CLI with user consent, I'll use the Authorization Code Grant flow with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) as it's suitable for public clients like CLIs. Here's an example implementation in JavaScript:

javascript const clientId = "your_client_id" const { codeChallenge, codeVerifier } = await generatePKCES256() const authorizationUrl = `<https://auth-server.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=myapp://callback&scope=openid&state=12345&code_challenge_method=S256&code_challenge=${codeChallenge}>`  // Launch the system browser to start the authorization flow Browser.openURL(authorizationUrl)  // After user consent and authorization, exchange the code for a token const code = "authorization_code_received_from_auth_server" const tokenUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/token|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/token>" const requestBody = `grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=${clientId}&code_verifier=${codeVerifier}&code=${code}`  fetch(tokenUrl, {   method: "POST",   headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },   body: requestBody, })   .then((response) => response.json())   .then((data) => console.log(data))   .catch((error) => console.error(error))

This example is based on the Ory OAuth2 and OpenID Connect implementation. Here's a breakdown of the code: 1. We set up the authorization URL with the necessary parameters, including PKCE. 2. The system browser is launched to start the authorization flow, where the user will be asked for consent. 3. After the user grants consent, we exchange the received authorization code for tokens. Note that this example assumes you have implemented the

generatePKCES256()

function to generate the code verifier and challenge for PKCE, and that you have a way to capture the authorization code after the browser redirect. For more detailed information on implementing OAuth2 flows with Ory, you can refer to the [OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/authorization-code-flow#examples).

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your questions about the tokens obtained through the Authorization Code Grant flow. 1. What can I do with the token? After obtaining an access token through the Authorization Code Grant flow, you can use it to access protected resources on behalf of the user. Specifically: - You can use the access token to make authenticated requests to APIs or services that require OAuth2 authorization. - You can perform token introspection to get more details about the token and its associated permissions. For example, you can introspect the access token using the Ory CLI:

ory introspect token $access_token --project "$PROJECT_ID"

This will provide you with information about the token, such as its expiration time, associated scopes, and the client ID it was issued to [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart). 2. Is it possible to exchange an id token with this flow? Yes, it is possible to receive an ID token along with the access token and refresh token when using the Authorization Code Grant flow. However, you don't exchange the ID token itself; instead, you receive it as part of the token response if you've requested the appropriate scope. To receive an ID token, you need to: 1. Include the

openid

scope in your authorization request. 2. Ensure your OAuth2 client is configured to use the

id_token

response type. For example, when creating your OAuth2 client, you should include these parameters:

ory create oauth2-client --project "$PROJECT_ID" \   --grant-type authorization_code,refresh_token \   --response-type code,id_token \   --scope openid --scope offline \   --redirect-uri <http://127.0.0.1:5555/callback>

When you perform the Authorization Code Grant flow with these settings, you should receive an ID token along with the access token and refresh token (if the

offline

scope is included) [Try common OAuth2 Grants](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/ory-network-oauth2#authorization-code-grant). The ID token is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that contains claims about the authentication of an end-user. You can use this token to obtain information about the authenticated user, such as their user ID, without making additional API calls. Remember that the ID token is meant for the client application to consume and should not be sent to other parties or used for authorization purposes. For API access and authorization, you should use the access token.

To achieve the scenario you've described, where the CLI needs to authenticate to another API using the received token while also sending the user ID for authorization, I can recommend a couple of approaches based on the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect standards implemented by Ory: 1. Use the Access Token with Token Introspection: The API can use token introspection to validate the access token and retrieve the associated user information. Here's how this could work: a) The CLI sends the access token in the Authorization header of the request to the API:

javascript const fetch = require("node-fetch") const accessToken = "your_access_token_here"  fetch("<https://api.example.com/resource>", {   headers: {     Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken,   }, })   .then((response) => response.json())   .then((data) => console.log(data))   .catch((error) => console.error(error))

b) The API then uses token introspection to validate the token and get the user information:

ory introspect token $access_token --project "$PROJECT_ID"

This will return information including the

sub

claim, which typically contains the user ID [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart). 2. Use the ID Token: If you received an ID token during the authorization flow (by including the

openid

scope), you can use this to send user information directly: a) The CLI sends both the access token and the ID token to the API:

javascript fetch("<https://api.example.com/resource>", {   headers: {     Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken,     "X-ID-Token": idToken,   }, })

b) The API can then decode and verify the ID token to get the user information, including the user ID (typically in the

sub

claim). 3. Custom Claims in Access Token: You can also customize the claims included in the access token using Ory's token hook feature. This allows you to include additional information, such as the user ID, directly in the access token [Customizing claims with OAuth2 webhooks](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/guides/claims-at-refresh). By implementing one of these methods, your API can both authenticate the request using the access token and authorize it for the specific user. The choice between these methods depends on your specific security requirements and system architecture. Remember, regardless of the method you choose, it's crucial that the API properly validates the tokens and implements appropriate authorization checks to ensure that the authenticated user has the necessary permissions to access the requested resources.

Yes, the user ID is indeed part of the token introspection result. When you introspect an OAuth2 token using Ory, the user ID is typically included in the response as the

sub

(subject) claim. According to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api), the introspection response includes a

sub

field, which is described as: "Subject of the token, as defined in JWT [RFC7519]. Usually a machine-readable identifier of the resource owner who authorized this token." This is further confirmed in the [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart), where an example of token introspection output is shown:

json {   "active": true,   "client_id": "d2e066cd-060d-44c9-92c1-1e73cbd6016e",   "exp": 1666962209,   "iat": 1666958609,   "iss": "<https://elastic-goldstine-1n7d31aph0.projects.oryapis.com>",   "nbf": 1666958609,   "scope": "offline openid",   "sub": "6ac05266-0e70-4b7b-beb9-963e1c6440bf",   // ... other fields ... }

In this example, the

sub

field contains the user ID "6ac05266-0e70-4b7b-beb9-963e1c6440bf". To perform token introspection and retrieve this information, you can use the Ory CLI as shown in the [Try common OAuth2 Grants](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/ory-network-oauth2#client-credentials-grant) documentation:

bash ory introspect token $access_token --project "$PROJECT_ID"

This command will return the introspection result, including the

sub

field containing the user ID. Your API can then use this user ID to authorize the request for the specific user.

To initiate the Authorization Code flow in JavaScript using the Ory SDK with a custom UI for user consent, I can provide you with a code example based on the Ory documentation. This example assumes you're using a custom login and consent UI, as described in the Ory guides. Here's a code example to initiate the Authorization Code flow:

javascript
import { Configuration, OAuth2Api } from "@ory/client"

// Initialize the Ory SDK
const ory = new OAuth2Api(
  new Configuration({
    basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,
    accessToken: process.env.ORY_API_KEY,
  }),
)

// Function to initiate the Authorization Code flow
async function initiateAuthCodeFlow() {
  const clientId = "your_client_id"
  const redirectUri = "<http://127.0.0.1:5555/callback>"
  const scope = "openid offline"
  
  // Construct the authorization URL
  const authorizationUrl = `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=${encodeURIComponent(scope)}&state=12345|projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=${encodeURIComponent(scope)}&state=12345>`

  // Redirect the user to the authorization URL
  window.location.href = authorizationUrl
}

// Function to handle user consent
async function handleConsent(consentChallenge) {
  try {
    const { data } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge })

    const grantScope = []

    // If the client requested the "offline_access" scope, and the user consents,
    // we add the "offline_access" scope to the scope to grant.
    if (data.requested_scope.includes("offline_access")) {
      // if (userGaveConsentForTokenRefresh) {
      grantScope.push("offline_access")
      // }
    }

    // Accept the consent request
    const response = await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({
      consentChallenge: consentChallenge,
      acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {
        grant_scope: grantScope,
      },
    })

    // Redirect the user to the redirect URL provided by Ory
    window.location.href = response.data.redirect_to
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error handling consent:", error)
  }
}

// Call this function to start the flow
initiateAuthCodeFlow()

// Call this function when you receive the consent challenge
// handleConsent(consentChallenge)

This example does the following: 1. It initializes the Ory SDK with your project slug and API key. 2. The

initiateAuthCodeFlow

function constructs the authorization URL and redirects the user to it. 3. The

handleConsent

function is where you would implement your custom consent UI. This example shows how to accept the consent request and grant scopes. Note that this is a simplified example. In a real-world scenario, you would need to:

To initiate the Authorization Code flow in JavaScript using the Ory SDK with a custom UI for user consent, I can provide you with a code example based on the Ory documentation. This example assumes you're using a custom login and consent UI, as described in the Ory guides. Here's a code example to initiate the Authorization Code flow:

javascript import { Configuration, OAuth2Api } from "@ory/client"  // Initialize the Ory SDK const ory = new OAuth2Api(   new Configuration({     basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,     accessToken: process.env.ORY_API_KEY,   }), )  // Function to initiate the Authorization Code flow async function initiateAuthCodeFlow() {   const clientId = "your_client_id"   const redirectUri = "<http://127.0.0.1:5555/callback>"   const scope = "openid offline"      // Construct the authorization URL   const authorizationUrl = `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=${encodeURIComponent(scope)}&state=12345|projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=${encodeURIComponent(redirectUri)}&scope=${encodeURIComponent(scope)}&state=12345>`    // Redirect the user to the authorization URL   window.location.href = authorizationUrl }  // Function to handle user consent async function handleConsent(consentChallenge) {   try {     const { data } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge })      const grantScope = []      // If the client requested the "offline_access" scope, and the user consents,     // we add the "offline_access" scope to the scope to grant.     if (data.requested_scope.includes("offline_access")) {       // if (userGaveConsentForTokenRefresh) {       grantScope.push("offline_access")       // }     }      // Accept the consent request     const response = await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({       consentChallenge: consentChallenge,       acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {         grant_scope: grantScope,       },     })      // Redirect the user to the redirect URL provided by Ory     window.location.href = response.data.redirect_to   } catch (error) {     console.error("Error handling consent:", error)   } }  // Call this function to start the flow initiateAuthCodeFlow()  // Call this function when you receive the consent challenge // handleConsent(consentChallenge)

This example does the following: 1. It initializes the Ory SDK with your project slug and API key. 2. The

initiateAuthCodeFlow

function constructs the authorization URL and redirects the user to it. 3. The

handleConsent

function is where you would implement your custom consent UI. This example shows how to accept the consent request and grant scopes. Note that this is a simplified example. In a real-world scenario, you would need to: 1. Implement your custom login UI, which would be shown when the user is redirected to the authorization URL. 2. Implement your custom consent UI, which would be shown after successful login. 3. Handle the callback after consent is granted, where you'll receive the authorization code. 4. Exchange the authorization code for tokens. For more detailed information on implementing a custom login and consent flow, you can refer to the [Custom Login and Consent Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow) and the [Custom UI OAuth2 guide](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/guides/custom-ui-oauth2). Remember to handle errors appropriately and ensure your implementation follows security best practices.

To implement a custom UI for the consent screen in Ory, you need to create your own consent endpoint and configure Ory to use it. Here's how you can do this: 1. Implement the consent endpoint: Create a custom consent endpoint in your application. This endpoint will handle the consent challenge and render your custom UI. Here's a basic example of how you might implement this endpoint:

javascript
import { Configuration, OAuth2Api } from "@ory/client"

const ory = new OAuth2Api(
  new Configuration({
    basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,
    accessToken: process.env.ORY_API_KEY,
  }),
)

async function handleConsent(req, res) {
  const challenge = req.query.consent_challenge

  try {
    const { data: body } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge: challenge })

    // If consent can't be skipped, show the consent UI
    if (!body.skip) {
      res.render("consent", {
        challenge: challenge,
        requested_scope: body.requested_scope,
        client: body.client,
        // Add any other data you want to display in your consent UI
      })
    } else {
      // If consent can be skipped, accept the consent request automatically
      const { data } = await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({
        consentChallenge: challenge,
        acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {
          grant_scope: body.requested_scope,
          grant_access_token_audience: body.requested_access_token_audience,
        },
      })
      res.redirect(data.redirect_to)
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error)
    res.status(500).send("An error occurred")
  }
}

2. Map the URL: You need to configure Ory to use your custom consent endpoint. You can do this by updating the OAuth2 configuration in your Ory Network project. Here's how you can set the consent URL:

bash
ory patch oauth2-config \
  --replace '/urls/consent="<https://your-domain.com/oauth2-consent>"'

Replace

<https://your-domain.com/oauth2-consent>

with the actual URL of your consent endpoint. 3. Create the consent UI: Create an HTML template for your consent screen. This could be a simple form that displays the requested scopes and allows the user to accept or reject the consent request. Here's a basic example:

html
<form action="/consent" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="...." />
  <input type="hidden" name="challenge" value="{{ challenge }}" />
  
  <h2>{{ client.client_name }} is requesting access to your account</h2>
  
  <p>The application is requesting the following permissions:</p>
  <ul>
    {% for scope in requested_scope %}
      <li>
        <input type="checkbox" name="grant_scope" value="{{ scope }}" checked />
        {{ scope }}
      </li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
  
  <button type="submit" name="submit" value="allow">Allow</button>
  <button type="submit" name="submit" value="deny">Deny</button>
</form>

To implement a custom UI for the consent screen in Ory, you need to create your own consent endpoint and configure Ory to use it. Here's how you can do this: 1. Implement the consent endpoint: Create a custom consent endpoint in your application. This endpoint will handle the consent challenge and render your custom UI. Here's a basic example of how you might implement this endpoint:

javascript import { Configuration, OAuth2Api } from "@ory/client"  const ory = new OAuth2Api(   new Configuration({     basePath: `https://${process.env.ORY_PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com|projects.oryapis.com>`,     accessToken: process.env.ORY_API_KEY,   }), )  async function handleConsent(req, res) {   const challenge = req.query.consent_challenge    try {     const { data: body } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge: challenge })      // If consent can't be skipped, show the consent UI     if (!body.skip) {       res.render("consent", {         challenge: challenge,         requested_scope: body.requested_scope,         client: body.client,         // Add any other data you want to display in your consent UI       })     } else {       // If consent can be skipped, accept the consent request automatically       const { data } = await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({         consentChallenge: challenge,         acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {           grant_scope: body.requested_scope,           grant_access_token_audience: body.requested_access_token_audience,         },       })       res.redirect(data.redirect_to)     }   } catch (error) {     console.error(error)     res.status(500).send("An error occurred")   } }

2. Map the URL: You need to configure Ory to use your custom consent endpoint. You can do this by updating the OAuth2 configuration in your Ory Network project. Here's how you can set the consent URL:

with the actual URL of your consent endpoint. 3. Create the consent UI: Create an HTML template for your consent screen. This could be a simple form that displays the requested scopes and allows the user to accept or reject the consent request. Here's a basic example:

html <form action="/consent" method="post">   <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="...." />   <input type="hidden" name="challenge" value="{{ challenge }}" />      <h2>{{ client.client_name }} is requesting access to your account</h2>      <p>The application is requesting the following permissions:</p>   <ul>     {% for scope in requested_scope %}       <li>         <input type="checkbox" name="grant_scope" value="{{ scope }}" checked />         {{ scope }}       </li>     {% endfor %}   </ul>      <button type="submit" name="submit" value="allow">Allow</button>   <button type="submit" name="submit" value="deny">Deny</button> </form>

4. Handle the form submission: When the form is submitted, you need to either accept or reject the consent request based on the user's choice:

javascript async function handleConsentSubmission(req, res) {   const challenge = req.body.challenge    if (req.body.submit === 'allow') {     const { data } = await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({       consentChallenge: challenge,       acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {         grant_scope: req.body.grant_scope,         // Add any other data you want to include       },     })     res.redirect(data.redirect_to)   } else {     const { data } = await ory.rejectOAuth2ConsentRequest({       consentChallenge: challenge,       rejectOAuth2Request: {         error: 'access_denied',         error_description: 'The resource owner denied the request',       },     })     res.redirect(data.redirect_to)   } }

By following these steps, you can implement a custom UI for the consent screen in Ory. Remember to handle errors appropriately and ensure your implementation follows security best practices. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Custom Login and Consent Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow#consent). [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart) also provides additional context on setting up custom login and consent flows. kapa.ai: You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you understand how to implement a custom UI for the consent screen in Ory. If you have any more questions about Ory or need further clarification on any aspect of the implementation, please don't hesitate to ask.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can answer your questions about the login challenge flow when

refresh: true

and the UI nodes contain the message with ID 1010003. 1. UI Form Implementation: When the login flow contains

refresh: true

and the message "Please confirm this action by verifying that it is you" (ID 1010003), the UI should present a form for the user to re-authenticate. This is typically done to ensure that the same user is still logged in, especially after a period of inactivity. The UI form should include the necessary input fields for re-authentication, which usually means a password field. You should implement the form based on the UI nodes provided in the login flow response. Here's a simplified example of how you might structure the form:

html <form action={flow.action} method={flow.method}>   <p>Please confirm this action by verifying that it is you.</p>   {/* Render input fields based on the UI nodes */}   <input type="password" name="password" required />   <button type="submit">Confirm</button> </form>

2. What happens afterwards: After the user submits the form, the session will be refreshed if the authentication is successful. This updates the

authenticated_at

time of the session without logging the user out [Refreshing a session](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-login#refreshing-a-session). 3. Skipping this step: The knowledge sources don't provide explicit information about skipping this step. However, since this is a security measure to re-authenticate the user, it's generally not recommended to skip it. The

refresh: true

parameter is typically used intentionally to ensure the user's identity, especially for sensitive operations. If you need to implement a way to bypass this step in certain scenarios, you would need to handle it in your application logic. For example, you could check for the

refresh: true

condition and the specific message ID, and then decide whether to show the re-authentication form or proceed without it based on your application's security requirements. It's important to note that there seems to be an open issue related to this behavior. According to the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/375), there might be cases where both

refresh: true

and

requested_aal: 'aal2'

are present in the login flow, which can cause confusion in the UI implementation. The Ory team is aware of this issue and may provide updates or clarifications in the future. For the most up-to-date and accurate information on handling this specific scenario, I recommend checking the latest Ory documentation or reaching out to Ory support for best practices in implementing this security feature in your application.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, it is indeed possible to encounter a situation where you initialize a new authorization request with user consent for a logged-in user and end up with a session that needs to be refreshed. While this might seem unexpected, it can occur due to certain configurations and security measures in place within the Ory system. This behavior is related to the session lifespan and the concept of "privileged" operations in Ory. Here's why this can happen: 1. Session Refresh Requirements: Ory implements security measures that may require users to re-authenticate for certain operations, even if they have an active session. This is especially true for sensitive actions or when a certain amount of time has passed since the last authentication [Refreshing a session](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-login#refreshing-a-session). 2. OAuth2 Flows and Session State: When initiating a new authorization request, Ory checks the current session state. If the session is considered "stale" or if the operation requires a higher level of assurance, it may trigger a session refresh [OAuth2 Authorization Code Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/authorization-code-flow#examples). 3. Configurable Session Policies: Ory allows for configurable session policies, including settings like

selfservice.flows.settings.privileged_session_max_age

. These settings can influence when a session refresh is required [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). 4. AAL (Authenticator Assurance Level): If the OAuth2 client or the requested scopes require a higher AAL than the current session, it may trigger a session refresh to elevate the authentication level [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart). While this behavior ensures enhanced security, it can indeed lead to unexpected user experiences. To manage this, you could consider the following approaches: 1. Adjust session lifespan and refresh policies in your Ory configuration to better suit your application's needs. 2. Implement smooth re-authentication flows in your UI to handle these cases gracefully. 3. Use the

prompt=none

parameter in your OAuth2 request to check if a session refresh is needed without immediately triggering the login UI. If a refresh is required, you can then decide how to handle it in your application flow [Try common OAuth2 Grants](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/ory-network-oauth2#authorization-code-grant). It's worth noting that there is an ongoing discussion in the Ory community about improving this behavior. As mentioned in a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/375), there are cases where the login flow contains both

refresh: true

and

requested_aal: 'aal2'

, which can lead to confusion in UI implementation.

AAL (Authenticator Assurance Level): If the OAuth2 client or the requested scopes require a higher AAL than the current session, it may trigger a session refresh to elevate the authentication level [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart). While this behavior ensures enhanced security, it can indeed lead to unexpected user experiences. To manage this, you could consider the following approaches: 1. Adjust session lifespan and refresh policies in your Ory configuration to better suit your application's needs. 2. Implement smooth re-authentication flows in your UI to handle these cases gracefully. 3. Use the

prompt=none

parameter in your OAuth2 request to check if a session refresh is needed without immediately triggering the login UI. If a refresh is required, you can then decide how to handle it in your application flow [Try common OAuth2 Grants](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/ory-network-oauth2#authorization-code-grant). It's worth noting that there is an ongoing discussion in the Ory community about improving this behavior. As mentioned in a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/375), there are cases where the login flow contains both

refresh: true

and

requested_aal: 'aal2'

, which can lead to confusion in UI implementation. For the most up-to-date guidance on handling these scenarios, I recommend consulting the latest Ory documentation or reaching out to Ory support for best practices in implementing these flows in your specific use case.

To implement smooth re-authentication flows in the UI when using Ory, you can follow these guidelines based on the information from the knowledge sources: 1. Detect the need for re-authentication: When you receive a login flow with

refresh: true

and the UI nodes contain the message with ID 1010003 ("Please confirm this action by verifying that it is you"), it indicates that re-authentication is required [Docs > Kratos > Bring-your-own-ui > Integration basics > Login flow > Create login flow Part 8](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#create-login-flow). 2. Implement a modal or inline form: Instead of redirecting the user to a separate login page, you can implement a modal dialog or an inline form within the current page. This approach maintains context and provides a smoother user experience.

javascript
import { Configuration, FrontendApi } from "@ory/client"
import { filterNodesByGroups, isUiNodeInputAttributes } from "@ory/integrations/ui"

const frontend = new FrontendApi(new Configuration({
  basePath: "<http://localhost:4000>", // Use your Ory project URL
  baseOptions: { withCredentials: true },
}))

function ReAuthenticationModal({ flow, onSuccess, onCancel }) {
  const handleSubmit = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault()
    // Submit the form data to Ory
    // On success, call onSuccess()
    // On failure, show an error message
  }

  return (
    <div className="modal">
      <h2>Please confirm your identity</h2>
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        {filterNodesByGroups({
          nodes: flow.ui.nodes,
          groups: ["default", "password"],
        }).map((node, idx) => {
          if (isUiNodeInputAttributes(node.attributes)) {
            return (
              <input
                key={idx}
                name={node.attributes.name}
                type={node.attributes.type}
                required={node.attributes.required}
              />
            )
          }
          return null
        })}
        <button type="submit">Confirm</button>
        <button type="button" onClick={onCancel}>Cancel</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  )
}

3. Handle the re-authentication flow: When you detect the need for re-authentication, create a new login flow with the

refresh

parameter set to `true`:

javascript
async function handleReAuthentication() {
  try {
    const { data: flow } = await frontend.createBrowserLoginFlow({
      refresh: true,
      returnTo: window.location.href,
    })
    // Show the ReAuthenticationModal with the flow data
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error creating login flow:", error)
  }
}

4. Provide clear messaging: Explain to the user why re-authentication is necessary. This can help reduce confusion and improve the user experience. 5. Offer alternative authentication methods: If available, provide options for different authentication methods, such as password, two-factor authentication, or social login.

To implement smooth re-authentication flows in the UI when using Ory, you can follow these guidelines based on the information from the knowledge sources: 1. Detect the need for re-authentication: When you receive a login flow with

3. Handle the re-authentication flow: When you detect the need for re-authentication, create a new login flow with the

refresh

parameter set to `true`:

javascript async function handleReAuthentication() {   try {     const { data: flow } = await frontend.createBrowserLoginFlow({       refresh: true,       returnTo: window.location.href,     })     // Show the ReAuthenticationModal with the flow data   } catch (error) {     console.error("Error creating login flow:", error)   } }

4. Provide clear messaging: Explain to the user why re-authentication is necessary. This can help reduce confusion and improve the user experience. 5. Offer alternative authentication methods: If available, provide options for different authentication methods, such as password, two-factor authentication, or social login. 6. Handle success and failure: After successful re-authentication, update the session and continue with the original action the user was attempting. In case of failure, provide clear error messages and options to retry or get help. 7. Consider using the

prompt=none

parameter: As mentioned in the [Try common OAuth2 Grants](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/ory-network-oauth2#authorization-code-grant) documentation, you can use the

prompt=none

parameter in your OAuth2 request to check if a session refresh is needed without immediately triggering the login UI. This allows you to proactively handle re-authentication when necessary.

javascript const checkSessionStatus = async () => {   const authorizationUrl = `https://${PROJECT_SLUG}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri=${REDIRECT_URI}&scope=openid&prompt=none|projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri=${REDIRECT_URI}&scope=openid&prompt=none>`      try {     const response = await fetch(authorizationUrl)     if (response.status === 200) {       // Session is valid     } else {       // Session needs refresh, initiate re-authentication       handleReAuthentication()     }   } catch (error) {     console.error("Error checking session status:", error)   } }

By implementing these strategies, you can create a smoother re-authentication experience that maintains context and minimizes disruption to the user's workflow. Remember to always prioritize security while striving for a seamless user experience.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, I can recommend the appropriate flow and OAuth2 client configuration for your application that cannot secure the client secret. For applications that cannot securely store a client secret, such as mobile apps, native apps, or single-page applications (SPAs), you should use the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange). This flow provides a secure way to obtain an access token without relying on a client secret. Here's what you should do: 1. Create an OAuth2 client: Use the following command to create a public OAuth2 client that doesn't use a client secret:

ory create oauth2-client --token-endpoint-auth-method none

This creates a client that is considered a public client, suitable for applications that can't keep secrets [OAuth2 authorization code flow > Examples](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/authorization-code-flow#examples). 2. Use the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE: Implement the Authorization Code Flow with PKCE in your application. Here's a basic example of how to initiate this flow:

javascript
const clientId = "your_client_id"
const { codeChallenge, codeVerifier } = await generatePKCES256()
const authorizationUrl = `<https://auth-server.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=${clientId}&redirect_uri=myapp://callback&scope=openid&state=12345&code_challenge_method=S256&code_challenge=${codeChallenge}>`

// Launch the system browser to start the authorization flow
Browser.openURL(authorizationUrl)

3. Exchange the code for a token: After receiving the authorization code, exchange it for an access token:

javascript
const code = "authorization_code_received_from_auth_server"
const tokenUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/token|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/token>"
const requestBody = `grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=${clientId}&code_verifier=${codeVerifier}&code=${code}`

fetch(tokenUrl, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },
  body: requestBody,
})
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error))

4. Token Introspection: To obtain the subject (user ID) upon introspection, you can use the token introspection endpoint. The subject will be included in the introspection result as the

sub

claim [Ory OAuth2 Server Quickstart Part 2](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart).

javascript
const introspectionUrl = "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/introspect|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/oauth2/introspect>"
const introspectionBody = `token=${accessToken}`

fetch(introspectionUrl, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },
  body: introspectionBody,
})
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((data) => {
    if (data.active) {
      console.log("User ID (subject):", data.sub)
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => console.error(error))

By using this approach, you can securely obtain an access token and retrieve the subject (user ID) upon introspection, even without a client secret. This method is suitable for public clients and provides the same result as using a confidential client with a client secret. Remember to implement proper error handling and follow security best practices when implementing this flow in your application.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, I can explain why you're encountering this error and suggest some potential solutions. The error you're receiving indicates that Ory is unable to find an existing login session when you're using

prompt=none

. This can happen due to several reasons, especially when working with local development environments. Let's address the possible causes and solutions: 1. Session Cookie Domain Mismatch: The most likely cause of this issue is a mismatch in the domains used for your session cookies. Ory uses HTTP cookies to manage sessions, and these cookies are domain-specific. When you're using different localhost ports for your application and the Ory tunnel, the cookies might not be shared correctly. [Docs > Getting-started > Integrate-auth > Integrate authentication into React > Run Ory APIs on

localhost

](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/react#run-ory-apis-on-localhost) mentions: "When developing locally, use either

localhost

or

127.0.0.1

, but not both. Although technically these mean the same thing, they're different hostnames. Using both interchangeably in your code can cause problems with the origin of HTTP cookies sent by the application." Solution: Ensure that you're consistently using either

localhost

or

127.0.0.1

across all your local services (custom UI, Ory tunnel, and server initiating the request). 2. Ory Tunnel Configuration: Make sure you're running the Ory Tunnel correctly. The documentation suggests using:

npx @ory/cli tunnel --dev <http://localhost:3000>

This command sets up the tunnel to work with your application running on port 3000. 3. Session Persistence: Check if your Ory project is configured to use persistent sessions. If sessions are not persistent, they might be lost between requests. You can check and update this setting using the Ory CLI:

ory get project $PROJECT_ID
ory patch project $PROJECT_ID -f - <<EOF
{
  "session": {
    "cookie": {
      "persistent": true
    }
  }
}
EOF

4. CORS and Credentials: Ensure that your application is configured to send credentials with cross-origin requests. In your API calls to Ory, include the

withCredentials: true

option:

javascript
const ory = new OAuth2Api(new Configuration({
  basePath: "<http://localhost:4000>",
  baseOptions: { withCredentials: true }
}))

5. Check Session Status: Before initiating the auth flow with

prompt=none

, you can check the session status:

javascript
try {
  const { data: session } = await ory.toSession()
  console.log("Active session:", session)
  // Proceed with prompt=none
} catch (error) {
  console.error("No active session:", error)
  // Handle re-authentication
}

javascript try {   const { data: session } = await ory.toSession()   console.log("Active session:", session)   // Proceed with prompt=none } catch (error) {   console.error("No active session:", error)   // Handle re-authentication }

6. Browser Security Settings: Some browser security settings or extensions might interfere with cookies in local development environments. Try using an incognito/private browsing window or a different browser to rule out this possibility. If you've verified all these points and are still encountering issues, you might want to: 1. Use browser developer tools to inspect the cookies and ensure they're being set and sent correctly. 2. Check the Ory logs for any additional error messages or warnings. 3. Consider using the

ory perform authorization-code

command from the Ory CLI to test the flow outside of your application context and see if the issue persists. If the problem continues after trying these solutions, you may want to reach out to Ory support or check their community forums for more specific assistance with your local development setup.

Certainly! I can provide you with more information about the

persistent

option for sessions in Ory based on the knowledge sources available. The

persistent

option for sessions in Ory is a configuration setting that determines whether a session cookie should persist beyond the current browser session. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Purpose: The

persistent

option controls whether the session cookie is set as a persistent cookie or a session cookie. When set to

true

, the cookie will persist even after the browser is closed, allowing for longer-lasting sessions. When set to

false

, the cookie will be deleted when the browser session ends [Docs > Kratos > Session-management > Session lifespan](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/session-lifespan#session-cookie-max-age). 2. Configuration: You can configure this option in your Ory project settings. Here's an example of how it appears in the configuration:

yaml
   session:
     cookie:
       persistent: false

[Docs > Kratos > Session-management > Session lifespan](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/session-lifespan#session-cookie-max-age) 3. Impact on Session Behavior: - When

persistent: false

(default): - The session cookie is treated as a session cookie. - The cookie is deleted when the browser is closed. - Users will need to log in again when they reopen the browser. - When `persistent: true`: - The session cookie is treated as a persistent cookie. - The cookie remains valid even after the browser is closed. - Users can remain logged in across browser restarts. 4. Relationship with `max-age`: - When

persistent: true

, the session cookie's

max-age

is set to the same value as the session lifespan. - When

persistent: false

, the

max-age

is not set, and the cookie expires when the browser session ends. 5. Security Considerations: - Using persistent sessions can enhance user experience by reducing the frequency of logins. - However, it may also pose security risks, especially on shared devices, as sessions remain active for longer periods. 6. Updating the Setting: You can update this setting using the Ory CLI:

bash
   ory patch project $PROJECT_ID -f - <<EOF
   {
     "session": {

. If sessions are not persistent, you may encounter issues with session recognition across different requests or browser restarts. It's important to choose the appropriate setting based on your application's security requirements and user experience needs. For applications requiring high security, you might prefer non-persistent sessions. For applications prioritizing user convenience, persistent sessions might be more suitable. Remember to consider the implications on your overall authentication flow and user experience when configuring this option.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, I can help you debug the issue with the

id_token

not containing the profile claim information despite requesting the

profile

scope. Here are some potential reasons and steps to troubleshoot: 1. Scope Configuration: First, ensure that the

profile

scope is properly configured and allowed for your OAuth2 client. You can check this using the Ory CLI:

ory get oauth2-client YOUR_CLIENT_ID

Make sure that the

profile

scope is listed in the allowed scopes for your client. 2. Consent Screen: The user must consent to share the

profile

scope during the authorization process. Check if the consent screen is displaying and allowing the user to grant the

profile

scope. If you're using a custom consent UI, ensure it's properly handling the

profile

scope [Custom Login and Consent Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow#consent). 3. Identity Schema: The

profile

scope typically maps to certain traits in the identity schema. Make sure your identity schema includes the relevant profile information. According to the [Docs > Kratos > Social-signin > GitLab](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/gitlab) documentation, the default mapping for the

profile

scope includes: -

identity.traits.username

for the

username

claim -

identity.traits.website

for the

website

claim -

identity.updated_at

for the

updated_at

claim -

identity.traits.name

for the

name

claim (or

given_name

and

family_name

if it's an object) Ensure your identity schema includes these traits and that they are populated for the user. 4. Token Mapping: Check if there's any custom token mapping that might be interfering with the inclusion of profile claims. According to the [Docs > Oauth2-oidc > Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) documentation, you can customize how claims are mapped to the ID token. 5. Introspection vs ID Token: It's important to note that the ID token might not always contain all the claims. Some information might only be available through token introspection or the userinfo endpoint. You can try introspecting the token to see if the profile information is present there:

ory introspect token $access_token --project "$PROJECT_ID"

6. Use the Userinfo Endpoint: If the profile information is not in the ID token, you can try retrieving it from the userinfo endpoint. This endpoint should return the user's claims based on the scopes granted to the token. 7. Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or warnings in your application logs or the Ory logs that might indicate why the profile claims are not being included. 8. Verify Token Contents: Decode the ID token (it's a JWT) and examine its contents. You can use a tool like jwt.io to do this. This will help you confirm exactly what claims are present in the token.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, I can help you debug the issue with the

id_token

not containing the profile claim information despite requesting the

profile

scope. Here are some potential reasons and steps to troubleshoot: 1. Scope Configuration: First, ensure that the

profile

scope is properly configured and allowed for your OAuth2 client. You can check this using the Ory CLI:

ory get oauth2-client YOUR_CLIENT_ID

Make sure that the

profile

scope is listed in the allowed scopes for your client. 2. Consent Screen: The user must consent to share the

profile

scope during the authorization process. Check if the consent screen is displaying and allowing the user to grant the

profile

scope. If you're using a custom consent UI, ensure it's properly handling the

profile

scope [Custom Login and Consent Flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow#consent). 3. Identity Schema: The

profile

scope typically maps to certain traits in the identity schema. Make sure your identity schema includes the relevant profile information. According to the [Docs > Kratos > Social-signin > GitLab](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/gitlab) documentation, the default mapping for the

profile

scope includes: -

identity.traits.username

for the

username

claim -

identity.traits.website

for the

website

claim -

identity.updated_at

for the

updated_at

claim -

identity.traits.name

for the

name

claim (or

given_name

and

family_name

if it's an object) Ensure your identity schema includes these traits and that they are populated for the user. 4. Token Mapping: Check if there's any custom token mapping that might be interfering with the inclusion of profile claims. According to the [Docs > Oauth2-oidc > Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) documentation, you can customize how claims are mapped to the ID token. 5. Introspection vs ID Token: It's important to note that the ID token might not always contain all the claims. Some information might only be available through token introspection or the userinfo endpoint. You can try introspecting the token to see if the profile information is present there:

ory introspect token $access_token --project "$PROJECT_ID"

6. Use the Userinfo Endpoint: If the profile information is not in the ID token, you can try retrieving it from the userinfo endpoint. This endpoint should return the user's claims based on the scopes granted to the token. 7. Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or warnings in your application logs or the Ory logs that might indicate why the profile claims are not being included. 8. Verify Token Contents: Decode the ID token (it's a JWT) and examine its contents. You can use a tool like jwt.io to do this. This will help you confirm exactly what claims are present in the token. If after checking these points you still don't see the profile claims in your ID token, there might be an issue with how Ory is configured to handle the

profile

scope. In this case, you might want to: 1. Double-check the Ory documentation for any recent changes in how profile scopes are handled. 2. Consider opening an issue on the Ory GitHub repository if you believe this is unexpected behavior. 3. Reach out to Ory support for more specific assistance with your configuration. Remember, the exact behavior can depend on your specific Ory configuration and version, so always refer to the most up-to-date documentation for your Ory setup.

To configure the mapping of identity traits with the OIDC profile claims in Ory, you can use a Jsonnet code snippet for data mapping. This allows you to customize how the identity traits are mapped to the OIDC claims. Here's how you can do it: 1. Create a Jsonnet code snippet: First, you need to create a Jsonnet code snippet that defines the mapping between your identity traits and the OIDC claims. Here's an example:

jsonnet
local claims = std.extVar('claims');

{
  identity: {
    traits: {
      email: claims.email,
      name: claims.name,
      given_name: claims.given_name,
      family_name: claims.family_name,
      username: claims.preferred_username,
      website: claims.website,
      // Add more mappings as needed
    },
  },
}

This snippet maps various OIDC claims to your identity traits. You can customize this based on your specific identity schema and the OIDC claims you want to use. 2. Configure the mapping: You can configure this mapping in your Ory project using either the Ory Console or the Ory CLI. Using the Ory Console: - Go to the "Social Sign-In" section in the Ory Console. - Find the OIDC provider you want to configure. - In the "Data Mapping" field, paste your Jsonnet code snippet. Using the Ory CLI: You can update the identity configuration with the Jsonnet mapping. Here's an example:

bash
ory patch identity-config $PROJECT_ID \
  --replace '/selfservice/methods/oidc/config/providers/0/mapper_url="<base64://ewogIGlkZW50aXR5OiB7CiAgICB0cmFpdHM6IHsKICAgICAgZW1haWw6IGNsYWltcy5lbWFpbCwKICAgICAgbmFtZTogY2xhaW1zLm5hbWUsCiAgICAgIGdpdmVuX25hbWU6IGNsYWltcy5naXZlbl9uYW1lLAogICAgICBmYW1pbHlfbmFtZTogY2xhaW1zLmZhbWlseV9uYW1lLAogICAgICB1c2VybmFtZTogY2xhaW1zLnByZWZlcnJlZF91c2VybmFtZSwKICAgICAgd2Vic2l0ZTogY2xhaW1zLndlYnNpdGUsCiAgICAgIC8vIEFkZCBtb3JlIG1hcHBpbmdzIGFzIG5lZWRlZAogICAgfSwKICB9LAp9>"'

Note that the Jsonnet code is Base64 encoded in this example. 3. Customize for specific providers: Different OIDC providers might return different claims. You can create specific mappings for each provider if needed. For example, the GitHub provider might require a different mapping:

jsonnet
local claims = std.extVar('claims');

{
  identity: {
    traits: {
      email: claims.email,
      name: claims.name,
      username: claims.login,
      // GitHub-specific mappings
    },
  },
}

4. Handle optional claims: Some claims might not always be present. You can use Jsonnet's conditional expressions to handle these cases:

jsonnet
local claims = std.extVar('claims');

{
  identity: {
    traits: {
      email: claims.email,
      [if 'name' in claims then 'name' else null]: claims.name,
      // This will only set the 'name' trait if it's present in the claims
    },
  },
}

Remember that the exact implementation will depend on your specific identity schema and the OIDC providers you're using. Always ensure that your mapping aligns with your application's security requirements and data handling policies.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let me provide you with information on how to configure the claims for the OAuth2 authorization code flow and the

/userinfo

endpoint in Ory. To configure the claims for the OAuth2 authorization code flow and the

/userinfo

endpoint, you need to customize the OAuth2 provider configuration. Here's how you can do it: 1. Use OAuth2 Provider Configuration: You can customize the claims returned in the ID token and from the

/userinfo

endpoint by configuring the OAuth2 provider settings. This is done through the

oauth2_provider.override

configuration in your Ory project. 2. Update the Configuration: You can update the configuration using the Ory CLI. Here's an example of how to do this:

bash ory patch oauth2-config $PROJECT_ID \   --replace '/oauth2_provider/override/id_token/claims={"email":{"essential":true},"email_verified":{"essential":true},"name":{"essential":true}}'

This example adds the

email

,

email_verified

, and

name

claims to the ID token. You can customize this based on your needs. 3. Configure Scopes: Make sure that the scopes you're requesting (e.g.,

profile

,

email

) are properly configured to return the desired claims. You can do this by updating the scope configuration:

bash ory patch oauth2-config $PROJECT_ID \   --replace '/oauth2_provider/override/scopes/profile/scope={"name":null,"given_name":null,"family_name":null,"username":null,"website":null}'

This example configures the

profile

scope to include various profile-related claims. 4. Userinfo Endpoint: The

/userinfo

endpoint will return claims based on the scopes granted to the access token. The configuration you set for the ID token claims will also affect the

/userinfo

endpoint. 5. Custom Claims: If you need to include custom claims, you can add them to the configuration as well. For example:

bash ory patch oauth2-config $PROJECT_ID \   --replace '/oauth2_provider/override/id_token/claims={"email":{"essential":true},"custom_claim":{"essential":true}}'

6. Verify Configuration: After making changes, you can verify your configuration using:

bash ory get oauth2-config $PROJECT_ID

7. Testing: After configuring the claims, you should test the authorization code flow and the

/userinfo

endpoint to ensure they're returning the expected claims. Remember that the exact claims returned will depend on the scopes requested during the authorization process and the claims available in the user's identity. Make sure your identity schema includes the traits that correspond to the claims you want to include. For more detailed information on customizing OAuth2 and OpenID Connect claims, you can refer to the [Ory documentation on customizing OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom). If you need further assistance or have specific requirements for claim mapping, please let me know, and I'll be happy to provide more targeted guidance.
