Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about providing user information when accepting the OAuth consent challenge in Ory. When accepting the OAuth consent challenge, Ory does not automatically return the user information based on the accepted claims. Instead, you need to explicitly provide the user information you want to include in the ID token and access token when accepting the consent challenge. To include custom claims or user information in the tokens, you can use the

session

parameter when accepting the consent request. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, you need to get the consent request details using the

getOAuth2ConsentRequest

method. 2. Then, you can accept the consent request using the

acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest

method, where you can specify the user information you want to include. Here's an example of how to do this using the Ory SDK:

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,   }), )  export async function acceptConsent(consentChallenge: string) {   const { data } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge })    return await ory     .acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({       consentChallenge: consentChallenge,       acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {         session: {           access_token: {             some_custom_claim: "some_custom_value",           },           id_token: {             id_custom_claim: "some_value",           },         },       },     })     .then(({ data }) => data) }

In this example, you can add custom claims to both the access token and the ID token by specifying them in the

session

object. The claims you add here will be included in the respective tokens based on the scopes that the user accepted. It's important to note that you should only include information that corresponds to the scopes the user has accepted. You can check the accepted scopes in the consent request data and add the relevant information accordingly. For more detailed information on customizing the consent process and adding custom claims, you can refer to these resources: 1. [Custom consent UI and custom claims for (JWT) access token](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/jwt-access-token#custom-consent-ui-and-custom-claims-for-jwt-access-token) 2. [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) Remember that you need to implement this logic in your custom consent endpoint. Ory does not automatically populate the tokens with user information based on the accepted scopes.

Based on the scopes you mentioned (email, profile, offline_access, and openid) and the information from the [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) documentation, I can provide you with an example of how the session object in the accept request should look like. Here's an example of how you might structure the session object:

javascript const session = {   id_token: {     email: identity.traits.email,     email_verified: true, // Assuming the email is verified     username: identity.traits.username,     website: identity.traits.website,     updated_at: identity.updated_at,     name: identity.traits.name,     given_name: identity.traits.name.first,     family_name: identity.traits.name.last   },   access_token: {     // You can add custom claims here if needed   } };

Let's break down why we're including these fields: 1. The

email

scope provides the email address and verification status. 2. The

profile

scope includes various user profile information. 3. The

offline_access

scope doesn't require any specific claims, but it allows for issuing a refresh token. 4. The

openid

scope is required for OpenID Connect flows and doesn't add any specific claims by itself. When accepting the consent request, you would use this session object like this:

javascript await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({   consentChallenge: consentChallenge,   acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {     grant_scope: ["email", "profile", "offline_access", "openid"],     session: session   } });

Please note that you should only include the claims for which you have actual data. If some of the profile information is not available, you should omit those fields. Also, remember that the actual structure of the

identity.traits

object depends on your specific identity schema. You may need to adjust the code to match your exact schema structure. Lastly, the

offline_access

scope doesn't require any specific claims, but it signals to Ory that it should issue a refresh token along with the access token. This setup should provide the necessary information based on the requested scopes. Always ensure you're only sharing information that the user has consented to share.

Based on the given scopes (email, profile, offline_access, and openid) and the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can explain the minimal scopes the user should always accept to guarantee a successful authorization. The minimal scope that should always be accepted is: 1.

openid

The

openid

scope is fundamental for OpenID Connect flows and is required to obtain an ID token. As stated in the [OAuth2 authorization code flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/authorization-code-flow#modifying-the-authorization-code-flow): "To obtain an ID token, you need to include the

openid

scope in the access request. The ID token is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that contains information about the authenticated user." The other scopes are optional and depend on the specific requirements of your application: 2. `offline_access`: This scope is necessary if you want to obtain a refresh token. As mentioned in the same document: "To get a refresh token, you need to include the

offline_access

scope in the access request." 3.

email

and `profile`: These scopes are used to request additional user information. They are not strictly necessary for authorization but may be required depending on what user data your application needs. It's important to note that the client needs to be allowed to request these scopes, and the user has to accept them on the consent screen. As stated in the documentation: "The client needs to be allowed to request the

openid

scope and the user has to accept that the client may use the

openid

scope on the consent screen." The same applies to the

offline_access

scope. In summary, to guarantee a successful authorization in the context of OpenID Connect, the minimal scope that should always be accepted is

openid

. If your application requires refresh tokens or additional user information, you would also need to include

offline_access

,

email

, and/or

profile

as needed. Remember that the actual requirements may vary depending on your specific application needs and how you've configured your Ory OAuth2 server.

Certainly! I apologize for not tailoring the previous solution specifically to the given scopes. Let's update the proposed solution to only return the information based on the scopes you mentioned: email, profile, offline_access, and openid. Here's an updated version of the session object that only includes information relevant to the given scopes:

javascript const session = {   id_token: {     // 'email' scope     email: identity.traits.email,     email_verified: true, // Assuming the email is verified      // 'profile' scope     name: identity.traits.name,     given_name: identity.traits.name.first,     family_name: identity.traits.name.last,     username: identity.traits.username,     website: identity.traits.website,     updated_at: identity.updated_at   } };

When accepting the consent request, you would use this session object like this:

javascript await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({   consentChallenge: consentChallenge,   acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {     grant_scope: ["email", "profile", "offline_access", "openid"],     session: session   } });

Let's break down why we're including these fields based on the scopes: 1.

email

scope: This includes the

email

and

email_verified

claims. 2.

profile

scope: This includes

name

,

given_name

,

family_name

,

username

,

website

, and

updated_at

claims. 3.

offline_access

scope: This doesn't require any specific claims in the session object, but it signals to Ory to issue a refresh token. 4.

openid

scope: This is required for OpenID Connect flows and doesn't add any specific claims by itself. Note that we don't need to add anything to the

access_token

part of the session object for these standard scopes. This solution aligns with the information provided in the [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) documentation, which states: "For the

email

scope, the system uses the verifiable addresses of a user. The first verifiable email is used to include the email in the ID token claims. This means that both

email_verified

and

email

claims get set." "For the

profile

scope, the system uses traits associated with a user." Remember to only include the claims for which you have actual data. If some of the profile information is not available in your

identity.traits

, you should omit those fields. This updated solution should provide only the necessary information based on the requested scopes, ensuring that you're only sharing information that the user has consented to share.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. You're right, and I appreciate the clarification. Let's create a generic solution that covers all four cases you mentioned. This solution will dynamically include the relevant information based on the granted scopes. Here's an updated, more flexible approach:

javascript function createSessionObject(grantedScopes, identity) {   const session = {     id_token: {}   };    if (grantedScopes.includes('email')) {     session.id_token.email = identity.traits.email;     session.id_token.email_verified = true; // Assuming the email is verified   }    if (grantedScopes.includes('profile')) {     session.id_token.name = identity.traits.name;     session.id_token.given_name = identity.traits.name?.first;     session.id_token.family_name = identity.traits.name?.last;     session.id_token.username = identity.traits.username;     session.id_token.website = identity.traits.website;     session.id_token.updated_at = identity.updated_at;   }    return session; }  async function acceptConsent(consentChallenge) {   const { data: consentRequest } = await ory.getOAuth2ConsentRequest({ consentChallenge });      const grantedScopes = consentRequest.requested_scope;   const session = createSessionObject(grantedScopes, consentRequest.subject);    return await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({     consentChallenge: consentChallenge,     acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {       grant_scope: grantedScopes,       session: session     }   }); }

This solution dynamically creates the session object based on the granted scopes. Here's how it handles each case: 1. `openid`: This scope is always included by default in OpenID Connect flows, so we don't need to add any specific claims for it. 2. `openid, offline_access`: The

offline_access

scope doesn't require any specific claims in the session object. It's handled by Ory to issue a refresh token. 3. `openid, offline_access, email`: If the

email

scope is granted, it adds the email-related claims. 4. `openid, offline_access, email, profile`: If both

email

and

profile

scopes are granted, it adds all the relevant claims. This approach ensures that only the information corresponding to the granted scopes is included in the session object. It's flexible and can handle any combination of these scopes. Remember to adjust the

identity.traits

structure according to your specific identity schema. Also, make sure to handle potential missing data to avoid errors. For more details on customizing the consent process and handling scopes, you can refer to the [Custom consent UI documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/custom-login-consent/flow#consent). This solution should provide a generic approach that covers all four cases you specified, ensuring that only the necessary information based on the granted scopes is included in the session object.

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Thank you for pointing this out. Let me provide a more accurate explanation based on the Ory documentation. You are correct that the default behavior is different from what I previously described. Let's clarify this based on the information from the Ory documentation: 1. According to the [OpenID Connect userinfo endpoint documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/userinfo-oidc), the userinfo endpoint automatically returns user information based on the scopes that were granted during the consent process. The

email

and

profile

scopes, if granted, will automatically include the relevant information in the userinfo response. 2. The [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) states that by default, Ory OAuth2 and OpenID Connect support the

email

and

profile

scopes as defined by OpenID Connect. The system automatically uses the verifiable addresses for the

email

scope and the identity traits for the

profile

scope. 3. The

session

parameter in the

acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest

is indeed primarily used for adding custom claims, not for standard claims like email and profile information. Here's a corrected explanation of how it works: 1. The

openid

scope is required for OpenID Connect flows. 2. If the

email

scope is granted, the userinfo endpoint will automatically include email-related claims. 3. If the

profile

scope is granted, the userinfo endpoint will automatically include profile-related claims based on the identity traits. 4. The

offline_access

scope, if granted, allows for the issuance of a refresh token. You would only need to use the

session

parameter if you want to add custom claims that are not part of the standard OpenID Connect claims. For example:

javascript await ory.acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest({   consentChallenge: consentChallenge,   acceptOAuth2ConsentRequest: {     grant_scope: grantedScopes,     session: {       id_token: {         custom_claim: "custom_value"       }     }   } });

I apologize again for the earlier misunderstanding. You are correct that the standard claims for

email

and

profile

scopes should be automatically handled by Ory, assuming you have the proper identity schema set up. The

session

content in the consent acceptance is indeed only for additional custom claims. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. It's important to provide accurate information, and I'm glad we could clarify this point.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and our previous conversation, there could be a few reasons why your custom UI project is not correctly returning the userinfo based on the scopes while a newly created project does. Let's explore some potential causes: 1. Identity Schema Configuration: The most likely reason could be related to your identity schema configuration. As mentioned in the [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom), the system automatically uses the verifiable addresses for the

email

scope and the identity traits for the

profile

scope. If your custom project's identity schema is not properly set up to map these traits, it could result in missing information. 2. Custom Consent UI Implementation: If you're using a custom consent UI, make sure it's correctly handling the scopes. As mentioned in the [Custom consent UI documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/refresh-token-grant#custom-consent-ui), you need to ensure that the correct scopes are being granted. For example:

javascript    const grantScope = []    if (data.requested_scope.includes("email")) {      grantScope.push("email")    }    if (data.requested_scope.includes("profile")) {      grantScope.push("profile")    }

3. OAuth2 Client Configuration: Ensure that your OAuth2 client is configured to allow the necessary scopes. You can check this in the Ory Console under your project's OAuth2 Client settings. 4. Project Configuration: There might be some project-level configurations that are different between your custom project and the newly created one. You may want to compare the configurations, especially those related to OAuth2 and OpenID Connect settings. 5. Ory Network Updates: If your custom project is older, it's possible that some updates or improvements have been made to the Ory Network that are automatically applied to new projects but not to existing ones. You might need to update your project configuration or migrate to a newer version. To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend the following steps: 1. Double-check your identity schema to ensure it correctly maps the required traits for email and profile scopes. 2. Review your custom consent UI implementation (if you're using one) to make sure it's correctly handling and granting the requested scopes. 3. Verify the OAuth2 client configuration in your project settings. 4. Compare the overall project configuration with a newly created project to spot any differences. 5. If the issue persists, you may want to contact Ory support for further assistance, as they can look into the specific configuration of your project. Remember, without more specific details about your project setup, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. These suggestions are based on common issues that could lead to the behavior you're experiencing.

Yes, there could potentially be an issue in the Hydra configuration YAML file that might affect how user information is returned based on scopes. The Hydra configuration file plays a crucial role in determining the behavior of the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect flows. According to the [Ory Hydra OAuth2 Server Quickstart documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart#quickstart-configuration), the configuration file for Hydra is typically located at

contrib/quickstart/5-min/hydra.yml

in the Hydra repository. Some potential issues in the Hydra config YAML file that could affect userinfo and scopes include: 1. Incorrect scope configuration: Make sure that the scopes (openid, email, profile) are properly defined and enabled in the configuration. 2. OIDC settings: Check if the OpenID Connect settings are correctly configured, especially those related to claims and scopes. 3. Token settings: Verify that the access token and ID token configurations are correct, including the claims to be included in each token type. 4. Userinfo endpoint configuration: Ensure that the userinfo endpoint is properly configured and enabled. To troubleshoot this, you should: 1. Compare your Hydra configuration file with the default configuration provided in the quickstart guide. 2. Look for any custom settings that might be overriding the default behavior for scope and claim handling. 3. Verify that the OIDC configuration section is present and correctly set up. If you're using Ory Network, some of these configurations might be managed through the Ory Console rather than directly in a YAML file. In that case, you should review your project settings in the Ory Console. If you need more specific guidance, you might want to review your configuration file (with sensitive information redacted) or reach out to Ory support for a detailed analysis of your setup. [Ory Hydra OAuth2 Server Quickstart](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart#quickstart-configuration) provides more information on the configuration file structure and options.

Based on the information you've provided and the knowledge sources available, it appears that the userinfo endpoint is not returning the expected claims for the email and profile scopes. This is unusual, as the default behavior should include this information if the proper scopes were granted during the authorization process. Given that you've double-checked the configuration and couldn't find any issues, there are a few other things we can consider: 1. Scope Granting: Ensure that the email and profile scopes were actually granted during the authorization process. The userinfo endpoint will only return information for the scopes that were granted. 2. Identity Provider Configuration: Check if your identity provider (likely Ory Kratos in this case) is properly configured to provide the necessary claims to Hydra. 3. Custom Login and Consent Flow: If you're using a custom login and consent flow, make sure it's properly passing along the granted scopes and user information. 4. Database Consistency: Verify that the user data is correctly stored in your identity management system and that there are no issues with data retrieval. 5. Token Introspection: You might want to try introspecting the access token to see what scopes and claims are associated with it. This could give you more insight into what's happening. 6. Logging: Enable debug logging in Hydra to see if there are any error messages or warnings that might indicate why the claims are not being included. 7. Version Compatibility: Ensure that all components of your Ory stack (Hydra, Kratos, etc.) are on compatible versions. If none of these suggestions help identify the issue, you may want to consider reaching out to Ory support or posting in the Ory community forums with more details about your setup, including: - The exact flow you're using (e.g., Authorization Code flow) - The scopes you're requesting in your initial authorization request - The response you get from the token endpoint - Your Hydra and Kratos (if used) versions The behavior you're seeing is not the expected default behavior for Ory Hydra, so there's likely a configuration issue or a misunderstanding somewhere in the process. Without more detailed information about your specific setup, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of this behavior. [Ory Hydra API - oidc](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/reference/api) documentation might provide more insights into the expected behavior of the userinfo endpoint.

To answer your question about what Kratos needs to provide to Hydra in order to work, I'll explain the key components based on the information from the Ory documentation. Ory Kratos and Ory Hydra are designed to work together in an OAuth2 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) setup, where Kratos handles identity management and Hydra handles OAuth2/OIDC flows. Here's what Kratos needs to provide to Hydra: 1. Identity Information: Kratos needs to provide the identity information to Hydra. This includes the user's traits (like email, profile information) that correspond to the OAuth2 scopes (email, profile, etc.). As mentioned in the [Customize OpenID Connect scope and claims](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/openid-connect-claims-scope-custom) documentation, Kratos should make this information available to Hydra based on the identity schema. 2. Authentication Status: Kratos needs to inform Hydra about the authentication status of the user. This is typically done through a login provider that Hydra calls during the OAuth2 flow. 3. Consent Information: Kratos (or a custom consent app built on top of Kratos) needs to provide information about which scopes the user has consented to. This is done through a consent provider that Hydra calls during the OAuth2 flow. 4. Session Information: Kratos needs to maintain and provide session information that Hydra can use to validate the user's session during token introspection or when accessing the userinfo endpoint. To set up this integration, you typically need to: 1. Configure Hydra to use Kratos (or a Kratos-based app) as its login and consent provider. This is done in the Hydra configuration, as mentioned in the [Ory Hydra OAuth2 Server Quickstart](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/quickstart#quickstart-configuration) documentation. 2. Implement the login and consent flows in your Kratos-based application. These flows should interact with Hydra's login and consent endpoints. 3. Ensure that the identity schema in Kratos maps correctly to the OIDC standard claims that Hydra expects. 4. Set up proper communication between Kratos and Hydra, usually through API calls or shared database access, depending on your specific setup. If you're experiencing issues with this integration, such as missing user information in the userinfo endpoint response, you may need to review these connection points to ensure that Kratos is correctly providing all necessary information to Hydra. For more detailed information on setting up this integration, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos & Ory Hydra integration guide]() video mentioned in the [Community resources](https://www.ory.sh/docs/ecosystem/community#videos) documentation.

Yes, it's entirely possible that the identity schema could be causing issues with the userinfo endpoint not returning the expected claims. The identity schema plays a crucial role in defining what information is stored for each user and how it's mapped to OpenID Connect claims. According to the [Customize identity schemas documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/customize-identity-schema), the identity schema not only defines the data model of your identities but also controls business logic, including which fields are used for authentication and verification. Here are a few ways the identity schema could cause issues: 1. Incorrect trait mapping: If the traits in your schema are not correctly mapped to the standard OpenID Connect claims, Hydra won't be able to include them in the userinfo response. For example, the

email

trait should be mapped to the

email

claim. 2. Missing

<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>

extensions: The schema should include the proper

<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>

extensions to indicate which fields are used for various purposes. For example:

json    "email": {      "type": "string",      "format": "email",      "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {        "credentials": {          "password": {            "identifier": true          }        },        "verification": {          "via": "email"        },        "recovery": {          "via": "email"        }      }    }

3. Incorrect or missing required fields: If required fields are missing or incorrectly defined, it could prevent the proper creation and retrieval of user information. 4. Schema version mismatch: If you've updated your schema but haven't properly migrated existing user data, it could lead to inconsistencies. To troubleshoot this, you should: 1. Review your identity schema and ensure it correctly defines all necessary traits. 2. Verify that the traits are properly mapped to OpenID Connect claims. 3. Check that the

<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>

extensions are correctly set up for each relevant trait. 4. Ensure that your schema version is up to date and that all user data has been properly migrated if you've made schema changes. If you need an example of a properly configured identity schema, you can refer to the [Advanced schema example](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/customize-identity-schema#advanced-schema) in the Ory documentation. If you're still having issues after reviewing and potentially adjusting your identity schema, you may want to share your schema (with any sensitive information redacted) with the Ory community or support for further assistance.

Certainly! I'd be happy to explain the difference between calling

getOidcUserInfo

on the OIDC API and

getIdentity

from the Identity API. These two methods serve different purposes and return different sets of information. 1.

getOidcUserInfo

(OIDC API): This method is part of the OpenID Connect (OIDC) flow and is used to retrieve user information based on an access token. According to the [OpenID Connect Userinfo endpoint documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/oauth2-oidc/userinfo-oidc): - It's a protected resource that provides information about a user when a service provider presents an access token issued by your Token endpoint. - The scopes in the access token specify which user attributes are returned in the response. - It requires the

openid

scope to be present in the access token claims. - The information returned is based on the scopes granted during the OAuth2/OIDC flow (e.g., email, profile). - It's typically used by client applications to get user information after successful authentication. Example usage:

javascript const { data } = await ory.getOidcUserInfo({   headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken }, })

2.

getIdentity

(Identity API): This method is part of the Identity Management API and is used to retrieve detailed information about a specific identity. According to the [Ory API Reference for getIdentity](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api#tag/identity/operation/getIdentity): - It returns an identity by its ID. - It provides more comprehensive information about the identity, including credentials, metadata, and verification status. - It requires administrative privileges and is typically used for backend operations or management interfaces. - It can optionally include credential information (e.g., social sign-in connections) in the response. Example usage:

javascript const { data } = await ory.getIdentity(identityId).includeCredential(["oidc"]).execute()

Key differences: 1. Purpose:

getOidcUserInfo

is for client applications in an OIDC flow, while

getIdentity

is for administrative or backend use. 2. Access control:

getOidcUserInfo

uses an access token, while

getIdentity

typically requires administrative API access. 3. Scope of information:

getOidcUserInfo

returns information based on granted scopes, while

getIdentity

can return all available information about an identity. 4. Use case:

getOidcUserInfo

is part of the authentication flow, while

getIdentity

is used for identity management tasks. In summary,

getOidcUserInfo

is used in the context of an OAuth2/OIDC flow to get user information based on granted scopes, while

getIdentity

is used for more comprehensive identity management tasks and provides more detailed information about a user's identity.
