OAuth for MyProxy (OA4MP) implements the OIDC/OA4MP Protocol, which is an extension of the OpenID Connect specification. The modifications introduced by OA4MP on top of OIDC include the GetCert Endpoint which is used by the OA4MP Client (e.g. a Science Gateway) to retrieve an End Entity Certificate (EEC) on behalf of the authenticated user. Typical workflows on the other hand usually do not directly make use of EECs, but instead use RFC3820 Proxy Certificates.
Proxy Certificates, usually having a shorter lifetime than EECs, are less likely to be used maliciously given their short validity period, while still conveying the same authentication information as an EEC would. Moreover, a Proxy Certificate can contain additional authorization information in the form of VOMS Extensions.

The AARC-developed MasterPortal therefore adds a GetProxy Endpoint to the OIDC/OA4MP Protocol, which directly returns Proxy certificate chains to its clients. The main differences between the GetProxy and GetCert Endpoint are:

return RFC3820 Proxy Certificate chain
generates keypair and CSR on server side instead of client side
accepts VONAME and VOMSES parameters

For the technical implementation details of the Getproxy Endpoint, see here.

Protocol Specification

The GetProxy Endpoint, just like the GetCert Endpoint, is an OAuth2.0 protected resource that returns a proxy certificate. This proxy certificate consists of a certificate chain and private key of the proxy. The request made to the GetProxy Endpoint is made up of the following parameters:

Name	Required	Description
client_id	REQUIRED	The client identifier issued at registration time.
client_secret	REQUIRED	The client secret issued at registration time.
access_token	REQUIRED	OIDC (OAuth 2.0) access token obtained with token request. Provided in 'Authorization: Bearer' header or as form value.
proxylifetime	OPTIONAL	Requested proxy lifetime (in seconds). In case this value exceeds the server side default, the request parameter is ignored.
voname	OPTIONAL	Specifies one or more VOs to connect to for membership information. The VO name can be followed by additional groups and roles. (Same format as for the -voms option to voms-proxy-init, see man voms-proxy-init).
vomses	OPTIONAL	Specifies VOMS server information in 'vomses' file format.

Just as for the GetCert endpoint, the access_token, client_id and client_secret parameters are there to ensure the authenticity of the request. Note that the 'certreq' parameter (of the getcert request), containing the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), is not required. Instead, a new keypair and CSR are created on the server side and used in the subsequent MyProxy GET request. The motivation behind this change is to take the burden of key generation away from the OA4MP Client, thus making it more lightweight and easier to adopt by different communities.

Requesting a VOMS Proxy Certificate can be done by using the 'voname' and 'vomses' request parameters. These parameters are passed as-is to the MyProxy GET request executed by the MasterPortal.

Note: The VOMSES string is useful in scenarios where the client would like to make use of a VOMS server which is not configured locally in the back-end MyProxy Server (in its 'vomses' file, see 'man myproxy-server.config' under 'voms_userconf').

Example Request

POST Example

POST /getproxy HTTP/1.1
Host: masterportal.example.edu
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

client_id=s6BhdRkqt3&client_secret=some_secret12345&access_token=8xLOxBtZp8&proxylifetime=43200&
voname=superscience&vomses=%22testvo%22%20%22voms.example.edu%22%20%2215000%22%20%22%2FC%3DXX%2FO%3DExample%2FCN%3Dmyproxy.example.edu%22%20%22testvo%22

curl --capath /etc/grid-security/certificates/ -d \
     'client_id=s6BhdRkqt3&client_secret=some_secret12345&access_token=8xLOxBtZp8&proxylifetime=43200&
      voname=superscience&vomses="testvo" "voms.example.edu" "15000" "/C=XX/O=Example/CN=myproxy.example.edu" "testvo"' \
     https://masterportal.example.edu/oauth2/getproxy

Example Response

In case of a successful request the body of the response message contains the Proxy Certificate in PEM format. The first certificate in the chain is the proxy followed by its private key, and the rest of the chain.

-== Implementation Details ==
-The implementation of the GetProxy Endpoint has been separated from the Master Portal OA4MP extension because it was found to be much easier to modify existing OA4MP code than to extend it. This basically means that for the purpose of implementing this endpoint we forked OA4MP. This custom OA4MP having the GetProxy Endpoint implemented can be found under the RCauth forks of the [https://github.com/rcauth-eu/OA4MP OA4MP] and [https://github.com/rcauth-eu/security-lib security-lib] projects. The separation of the two codebases is inherited from the original OA4MP implementation.
-=== OA4MP ===
-==== Client ====
-The OA4MP Client has to be able to distinguish between cases of requesting an EEC through GetCert and requesting a proxy through GetProxy, since the backend [[#Server|Server]] is configured to provide one '''OR''' the other (EEC or Proxy), '''not both'''. This is done with the use of a new [http://grid.ncsa.illinois.edu/myproxy/oauth/client/manuals/parameters.xhtml#tags OA4MP Client configuration] parameter called 'requestProxies'.

-|-

-| Required?
-| Default

-|}
-Configuration example:
- <client name="client-config" address="https://portal.example.edu/portal">
-     ...
-           <requestProxies>true</requestProxies>
-     ...
- </client>
-By setting this configuration to '''true''' a GetProxy Endpoint aware ''OA2MPProxyService'' object will be returned to client servlets instead of a ''OA2MPService'' object. The servlet can then request a proxy by calling the ''getProxy(OA2Asset a, ATResponse2 atResponse2)'' method of the returned object. The [[#Example Request|GetProxy request]] is build internally using the clients' ID, secret and the current transactions' access token. User input (voname and vomses) should be provided to this method via the ''OA2Asset'' parameter. The proxylifetime parameter is taken from the 'lifetime' client configuration.
-==== Server ====
-The OA4MP Server has both GetCert and GetProxy Endpoints available at the same time, but the MyProxy Server in its backend can only be configured to return '''either''' EEC '''or''' Proxy Certificate.
-'''Note:''' Do NOT use the GetProxy Endpoint when the backend MyProxy Server is configured in [http://grid.ncsa.illinois.edu/myproxy/ca/ CA mode] issuing End Entity Certificates! You will end up receiving EEC from the GetProxy Endpoint.
-The implementation of the GetProxy servlet is done in ''OA2ProxyServlet''. A successful GetProxy request will execute the following flow in the servlet:
-[[File:Getproxy_servlet_seq.svg]]
-* Step 1 : As mentioned above, the key and CSR generation has been moved away from the OA4MP Client into the Server. The ''verifyAndGet'' method creates a new keypair and saves the resulting private key and CSR into the transaction. The proxylifetime, voname and vomses are stripped off from the request and saved in the transaction.
-* Step 2 : The ''checkMPConnection'' method initiates a new MyProxy connection
-* Step 3 : The ''getX509Certificates'' method inserts the proxylifetime, voname and vomses values into the MyProxy connection after which proceeds to execute a MyProxy GET command, returning the certificate chain created.
-* Step 4 : The ''preprocess'' method is called before the resulting certificate chain is written out into the response buffer. Here, the ''MyX509Certificates'' holding only the certificate chain is swapped out to a ''MyX509Proxy'' object containing the same certificate chain, together with the private key from the transaction (saved in Step 1).
-=== security-lib ===
-The '''OA4MP''' project builds on top of the '''security-lib''' project, and therefore some of the modified code logically belongs into this project.
-[[File:Ncsa-uml.svg | 1000px]]
-The original OA4MP uses ''MyX509Certificates'' as a container to transmit and receive certificate chains. With the extension of GetProxy Endpoint, this container class is no longer sufficient to transmit proxies around, because it cannot hold the proxy's private key. A new container under the name of ''MyX509Proxy'' has been implemented which extends ''MyX509Certificates''.
-The ''ProxyUtil'' class holds a set of static methods used for proxy transformation and generation. This class works with the aid of a newly introduced dependency: [https://github.com/eu-emi/canl-java/ canl-java]. At the time of this writing the canl version integrated was version [http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails|eu.eu-emi.security|canl|2.2.0|jar 2.2.0].
-A new request server called ''PPServer2'' (Protected Proxy Server 2) has been added after the model of ''PAServer2'' used for GetCert Requests. The new ''PPServer2'' class sets [[#Protocol Specification | GetProxy request parameters]] and creates a ''MyX509Proxy'' out of the response.
+For example code, see this [https://rcdemo.nikhef.nl/demobasic/ simple PHP demonstrator], which shows how the <tt>/getproxy</tt> endpoint can be used to obtain a valid proxy certificate.
