Background & Business Value

A lot of applications need access to non-sensitive data (P1). To provide for those needs we will use the Campus API Gateway to restrict access to only known clients. But, those clients will NOT need to be known to the Resource Server. This should be the simplest machine-to-machine interactions the Campus API Gateway needs to provide.

Goals

  • Provide access to non-sensitive data (P1)
  • Provide the least amount of security needed to gain access
  • Enforce security through all access going through the Campus API Gateway
  • Enforce security through IP/DNS access restrictions to the Resource Servers

Out of Scope

  • Anything that has to do with data classified as P2 or higher.

Assumptions

  • Campus IdM will support client_credential grant using ucsbNetId and password for Application Accounts (Service Accounts).
    • Application Accounts (Service Accounts) Description from ETSC (UCSB isDesk):
      > 2018-05-25 10:06:09 - Laurie Branagan (Additional comments)
      > App accounts were created to allow for programmatic access to the
      > directory without embedding a person's credentials in the application. They
      > were not scoped to be used for authorization beyond access to the
      > directory. It's understood this utility is somewhat limited.
      > If what you're requesting is non-person entities in the directory - That
      > feature is on the roadmap document that the Identity Advisory Group drafted
      > last year. It has not been implemented.
  • Campus IdM will support an OAuth 2.0 introspection endpoint.
  • Campus IdM will be able to store the Apigee client_id.
  • All calls will be over HTTPS.

Requirements

Ticket(s)TitleUser StoryPriorityNotes

Call Non-Sensitive APIAs a Client Developer, I need to authenticate my calls to the Campus API Gateway in order to get access to non-sensitive endpoints (/students/lookups)MUST HAVE
  • Should only need to provide Service Account ucsbNetId and password.
  • OAuth call should go against Apigee OAuth endpoint.
    • Apigee will pass through the call to Campus IdM
    • The Campus IdM response will pass through back to the client

Authenticate ClientAs a Campus IdM Admin, I need to authenticate the Client Application before the Campus API Gateway can grant accessMUST HAVE

Client Info Storage in Campus API GatewayAs a Campus API Admin, I need to retrieve Client Application information for future request verifications.MUST HAVE
  • Campus IdM access tokens will need to be stored in the Apigee OAuth Provider.
  • Apigee will need to store the access token and client_id in the OAuthV2/GenerateAccessToken policy. This will be used for verification/validation in subsequent calls from the client through Apigee.
