- PAS 2.7 installed

- Authenticator(s) pipe must store authentication method (session property auth_method) and userid (session property userid) in session. This is configured by adding these valves:

• SessionLoadValve
• SessionPropertyAddValve
• SessionPersistValve

Consult the valves documentation for usage examples.

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.

- 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": [
						"verifyUser"
					]
}
			]
		},
		"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",

In this example, no client certificate is used. Please read the Valves documentation on how to configure a client certificate to the pipe.

- Click the Advanced tab

- Open Pipes (click on the pen)

- Add this pipe.

{
		"id": "verifyUser",
		"valves": [
			{
				"name": "ItemCreateValve",
				"config": {
					"dest_id": "item"
				}
			},
			{
				"name": "SessionLoadValve",
				"config": {
					"id": "{{request.access_token}}"
				}
			},
			{
				"name": "PropertyAddValve",
				"config": {
					"name": "userid",
					"value": "{{session.userid}}"
				}
			},
			{
				"name": "PropertyAddValve",
				"config": {
					"name": "auth_method",
					"value": "{{session.auth_method}}"
				}
			}
		]
