How to setup the HTTP API for Swedish BankID authentication

Prerequisites

- BankID test client certificate (FPTestcert2_20150818_102329.p12 for test environments)

- BankID customer client certificate (for production environments)

- Access to BankID infrastructure from PhenixID Server

- Access to BankID infrastructure from Mobile device

- Access to BankID infrastructure from Client

- PAS 2.7 installed

Authentication

It is recommended to add authentication to the API. These authentication methods are supported:

- Client certificate (recommended).
Use a reverse proxy to add client certificate authentication. Add valves to the pipe(s) to verify the certificate.

- Basic authentication
Add valves to the pipes to perform basic authentication verification.

Add BankID certificate

- Login to configuration manager

- Go to Scenarios->Federation->Keystore

- Add new keystore

- Upload bankid certificate (p12 or pfx format) and enter the password

- Click create

- Copy the ID value when created - this value will be used in later steps.

Add local http-api module

- Login to configuration manager

- Click the Advanced tab

- Open Modules (click on the pen)

- Add this module (if module is already added, only add tenant and/or allowedOperation):

{
		"module": "com.phenixidentity~phenix-api-authenticate",
		"enabled": "true",
		"config": {
			"tenant": [
				{
					"id": "t1",
					"displayName": "Tenant1",
					"allowedOperation": [
						"bankid_start_auth",
						"bankid_check_auth"
					]
}
			]
		},
		"id": "authapi_module"
	}

- Click Stage Changes and Commit Changes

- Open NODE_GROUPS (click on the pen)

- Add id of the newly added module to module_refs. Example below. (You can skip this step if the module was already added)

{
		"name": "WIN-DHB3ICNDG4E",
		"description": "Default node (created automatically)",
		"config": {
			"module_refs": "authapi_module,sealapp,signapp_1,......"
		},
		"created": "2017-07-03T11:38:03.135Z",
		"id": "493afd0e-0fe8-40e4-b1a1-a24a5e2df6e2",
		"modified": "2017-07-03T14:39:43.257Z"
	}

Add pipes to trigger BankID authentication and collect authentication status

- Click the Advanced tab

- Open Pipes (click on the pen)

- Add these pipes. Change these properties to suit your environment:

- bankid_keystore -> ID value of the keystore uploaded in previous step.

{
		"id": "bankid_start_auth",
		"description": "Start auth with bankid",
		"valves": [
			
			{
				"name": "BankIDAuthenticateValve",
				"config": {
					"bankid_keystore" : "<ID value copied in previous step>",
					"mode": "test",
					"pnr": "{{request.pnr}}",
					"client_ip_request_param": "X-Forwarded-For"
				}
			}
		]
	},
	{
		"id": "bankid_check_auth",
		"description": "Check auth",
		"valves": [
			
			{
				"name": "BankIDCollectAuthenticationStatusValve",
				"config": {
					"bankid_keystore" : "<ID value copied in previous step>",
					"mode": "test",
					"transactionID": "{{request.transactionID}}",
					"customerID": "{{request.tenant}}"
				}
			},
{
"name": "BankIDCompatCollectValve",
"config": {}
}
		]
	}
