Profiles and Templates Endpoint¶

The profiles and templates endpoint is an endpoint to obtain server-sided stored profiles and templates. In the following we refer to both as profiles. These profiles can be referenced by their (full) name in any request where this is applicable. The content of a profile can also be obtained from this endpoint and directly included in a request as json.

This endpoint is more structured than other endpoints. In the following we refer to the endpoint uri as it is given in the configuration endpoint as the base uri.

Profiles can be grouped, i.e. different groups / organisations can have their own profiles. A full profile name is of the form <group>/<profile_name>. The default group for a mytoken server is named _.

Obtaining Groups¶

Groups Request¶

To query the list of groups on a mytoken server the client makes a GET request to the profiles endpoint base uri.

Example

GET /api/v0/pt HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com

Groups Response¶

A successful response returns an array containing the group names using the application/json media type.

Example

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[
    "_",
    "kit",
    "egi"
]

Obtaining Profiles¶

Obtaining profiles and templates for the different types works exactly the same. There are just different endpoints:

URI Path	Description
`<base_uri>/<group>/profiles`	Profiles for the `<group>` group.
`<base_uri>/<group>/capabilities`	Capabilities Templates for the `<group>` group.
`<base_uri>/<group>/restrictions`	Restrictions Templates for the `<group>` group.
`<base_uri>/<group>/rotation`	Rotation Templates for the `<group>` group.

Profiles Request¶

To query the profiles for a group the client makes a GET request to the endpoint for that profile type for that group (see above).

Example

GET /api/v0/pt/_/capabilities HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com

Profiles Response¶

A successful response returns an array of profile entries using the application/json media type. Each profile entry has the following attributes (independent of profile type):

Parameter	Necessity	Description
`id`	REQUIRED	A string identifying this entry
`name`	REQUIRED	The name of the profile
`payload`	REQUIRED	The profile's payload as json

Example

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

[{
    "id": "6ebe1919-0b82-4940-8195-6ec4fca65b8c",
    "name": "all",
    "payload": [
        "AT",
        "tokeninfo",
        "manage_mytokens",
        "create_mytoken",
        "settings"
    ]
}, {
    "id": "12a3516e-0d47-4a7b-b50d-0cb62778c4f9",
    "name": "default",
    "payload": [
        "AT",
        "tokeninfo"
    ]
}]

Managing Profiles¶

The administrator of a mytoken server can define the groups with their credentials and hand them out to others. This allows organizations or other groups to create and manage their own profiles.

Important

The create, update, and delete operations described below all require authentication by including the group credentials with basic authentication in the request.

Create a New Profile¶

Request¶

To create a new profile the client does a POST request to the profile types endpoint and includes the profile entry (omitting the id) in the request body using the application/json content type.

Example

POST /api/v0/pt/_/capabilities HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com
Authorization: Basic XzphZG1pbgo=
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name": "also-all",
    "payload": ["@_/all"]
}

Response¶

On success the server responses with an http status code of 201 and an empty response body.

Example

HTTP/1.1 201 Created

Update an Existing Profile¶

Request¶

To update a new profile the client sends a PUT request and includes the updated profile entry in the request body using the application/json content type. All attributes of the updated profile must be given, not only the updated ones.

The request can be sent to either of the following endpoints: - <base_uri>/<group>/<profile_type> - <base_uri>/<group>/<profile_type>/<id>

In the latter case the id parameter in the profile entry can be omitted, in the first case it is required.

Example

POST /api/v0/pt/_/capabilities/12a3516e-0d47-4a7b-b50d-0cb62778c4f9 HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com
Authorization: Basic XzphZG1pbgo=
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "name": "default",
    "payload": [
        "AT",
        "tokeninfo:introspect",
    ]
}

Response¶

On success the server responses with an http status code of 200 and an empty response body.

Example

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Delete an Existing Profile¶

Request¶

To delete a new profile the client sends a DELETE request to either of the following endpoints: - <base_uri>/<group>/<profile_type> - <base_uri>/<group>/<profile_type>/<id>

In the first case the id parameter MUST be given in the request body.

Example

DELETE /api/v0/pt/_/capabilities/12a3516e-0d47-4a7b-b50d-0cb62778c4f9 HTTP/1.1
Host: mytoken.example.com
Authorization: Basic XzphZG1pbgo=

Response¶

On success the server responses with an http status code of 204 and an empty response body.

Example

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
