Upgrading

0.2.x to 0.3.x

A new configuration option was added to allow the API script to access the token endpoint without validating the SSL certificate.

disableServerCertCheck = true

It defauls to false.

0.1.8 to 0.2.x

In order to upgrade from 0.1.8 to 0.2.x a number of things need to change. The most important are the configuration file changes and the database changes.

The configuration file changes are easy, but the database changes are more extensive and require some fiddling.

If you run from a git checkout you also need to run php /path/to/composer.phar update after checking out the new version.

Configuration

The following fields are removed from the configuration file and no longer have any effect:

serviceName
serviceLogoUri
serviceLogoWidth
serviceLogoHeight
allowRemoteStorageClients

[PdoStorage]
persistentConnection
[SimpleAuthResourceOwner]

The following configuration options were renamed:

authenticationMechanism -> authenticationPlugin

The following configuration option was added to allow for wildcard support for redirect URIs:

allowRegExpRedirectUriMatch

There are now three supported authentication backends:

BasicAuthentication
MellonAuthentication
SimpleSamlAuthentication

These can be the values of authenticationPlugin. Each of them has their own configuration section as well. The SimpleAuthResourceOwner backend support was removed. The SimpleSamlAuthentication backend is deprecated and one SHOULD use MellonAuthentication instead.

See the example configuration file in config/oauth.ini.defaults for more information on how to update the configuration for each of the authentication backends.

See below on how to update the consent dialog template if you have the need.

Entitlements

All entitlements are now configured through the file config/entitlements.json and no longer through the authentication backend. This makes it much easier to configure and does not require support from the authentication backend to support entitlements.

We can go a number of ways after this:

  • remove entitlements.json and add it to the normal config/oauth.ini file;
  • remove entitlements altogether and leave it up to the resource server (the RS can use the sub field for entitlement mapping through the introspection endpoint.

The second solution seems to be the best one, so maybe it is better to not depend too much on this functionality being available.

Database

TBD

Housekeeping

A new script is available to delete expired tokens from the database to be run from a "cron" task. The script is called php-oauth-as-housekeeping and should be run periodically, say once every day. If you are using SQlite as a database the script should be run as the apache user, or root (not recommended).

The following crontab(5) entry can be used to run the housekeeping script, for example, every night 5 minutes after midnight.

5 0 * * *     /usr/bin/php-oauth-as-housekeeping

UI Customization

One can now customize the consent dialog by copying the file views/askAuthorization.twig to config/views/askAuthorization.twig and modifying it there.
