2 Registering OPSS Clients

Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS) uses the Registration service to provision an authorization policy for a client. The Security service uses these policies to make authorization decisions. REST clients are required to register themselves to access security services.

Section	Method	Resource Path
POST Registration Method	`POST`	/opss/v2/
GET Registration Method	`GET`	/opss/v2/
PUT Registration Method	`PUT`	/opss/v2/
DELETE Registration Method	`DELETE`	/opss/v2/

2.1 POST Registration Method

Use the POST method to register a new client. An application role with a unique name inside the OPSS rest application stripe is created. Users and groups that are passed as input of the POST method are made members of the application role. Grants to the specified resources are automatically provisioned in the OPSS REST application stripe.

Note:

The same clientName attribute value is required to identify the client when making changes to registration data.

REST Request

POST /opss/v2/opssRestClient/

Request Body

Media Types:

application/json

The request body contains the details of the register request:

Table 2-1 Registration Attributes

Attribute	Description	Required
`“clientName“`	A unique name that identifies the client.	Yes
`“policystoreStripe“`	The policy store stripe to which the client is assigned	No
`“keystore“`	A list of keystores used for the client	No
`“credentialMap“`	A name of the credential map that is used to store credential keys.	No
`“auditComponent“`	A unique name to identify the audit rules for a client	No
`“trustIssueIDD“`	A list identity domains that can issue trust tokens	No
`“trustValidateIDD“`	A list identity domains that can validate trust tokens	No
`“adminGroup“`	A group with the operator role	No
`“operatorGroup“`	A group with the operator role	No
`“viewerGroup“`	A group with the viewer role	No

All attributes other than clientName can be specified multiple times. A user should specify at least one of either: policystoreStripe, keystore, credentialMap, auditComponent, trustIssueIDD, or trustValidateIDD for the service scopes. In addition, a user should specify at least one of either: adminGroup, operatorGroup, or viewerGroup so that some group has privileges.

For service scope attributes, a wild card (*) can be specified to grant all scopes to the client. The wildcard should be used carefully.

Response Body

The output of a POST request is a Resource ID.
