Authress SDK for PHP

Installation & Usage

Install authress-sdk for usage of the API:

composer require authress/authress-sdk.php

SDK usage

There's a full working example in this repository for how to flow can look like: working example;

The full flow is usually:

• Check if user is logged in using userSessionExists

• If user is not logged in send them to your login page

  • On your login page ask the user which connection provider they want to use
  • Call authenticate with that connectionId
  • User will be redirected to the provider

• User will be returned to your redirectUrl

  • The redirectUrl page should include a code snippet from the working example and in the URL of your page will contain the iss, code, and nonce parameters (for validation, you don't need to worry how to handle them, but they need to be there this signals that the login worked correctly.)

• Call the userSessionExists method

  • This should work and return true at this moment

  You can also validate this worked by looking at the cookies for the app, which should contain authorization and user cookies. Please don't use these cookies directly as their format might change.

Authorization

<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use AuthressSdk\AuthressClient;
use AuthressSdk\ApiException;

// create an instance of the API class during service initialization
$authressCustomDomain = "https://login.application.com";
$authressClient = new AuthressClient($authressCustomDomain);
$authressClient->setApiKey('eyJ...');

// OR: Set the user's access token per request
$authressClient->setAccessToken("user-JWT");

$apiInstance = new \AuthressSdk\Api\UserPermissionsApi($authressClient);

try {
    $userId = "test-userId";
    $resourceUri = "test-resource";
    $permission = "test-permission";
    $result = $apiInstance->authorizeUser($userId, $resourceUri, $permission);
} catch (ApiException $e) {
    if ($e->getStatusCode() === 404 || $e->getStatusCode() === 403) {
        return false;
    }
    throw $e;
}
?>

Authentication

Log the user in with the selected identity provider connection. Use when the user isn't logged in yet.

<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use AuthressSdk\AuthressClient;
use AuthressSdk\Login\AuthenticationParameters;

// create an instance of the API class during service initialization: https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=domain
$authressCustomDomain = "https://login.application.com";
// The application that the user is logging in with https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=applications
$applicationId = 'app_APPLICATION_ID';
$authressClient = new AuthressClient($authressCustomDomain, $applicationId);

$options = new AuthenticationParameters([
    // When user clicks "Log in with Google (or Github)" pass the relevant connectionId here:  https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=connections
    'connectionId' => "CONNECTION_ID",
    // Optional redirect, by default the redirect url will be the current window.location.href
    'redirectUrl' => "URL_AFTER_SUCCESS_LOGIN"
]);

// Returns true if the user is successfully logged in, and otherwise redirects the user to appropriate login page
session_start();
$result = $authressClient->login->authenticate($options);
?>

Check if the user is currently logged in. If the user isn't logged in yet, call $authressClient->login->authenticate() above.

<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use AuthressSdk\AuthressClient;

// create an instance of the API class during service initialization: https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=domain
$authressCustomDomain = "https://login.application.com";
// The application that the user is logging in with https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=applications
$applicationId = "app_APPLICATION_ID";
$authressClient = new AuthressClient($authressCustomDomain, $applicationId);

// Returns true if the user is successfully logged in, and otherwise redirects the user to appropriate login page.
session_start();
$isUserLoggedIn = $authressClient->login->userSessionExists();
if (!$isUserLoggedIn) {
    // When the user isn't logged in, send them to the login page
    header("Location: ./login.php");
    exit();
}

// Optionally get access to the user's authorization access token, this token can be explicitly used to call other APIs including Authress authorization as the user.
$userToken = $authressClient->login->getToken();

?>

Verify an incoming token into your service from a client:

<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php');
use AuthressSdk\AuthressClient;

// create an instance of the API class during service initialization: https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=domain
$authressCustomDomain = "https://login.application.com";
// The application that the user is logging in with https://authress.io/app/#/setup?focus=applications
$applicationId = "app_APPLICATION_ID";
$authressClient = new AuthressClient($authressCustomDomain, $applicationId);

// Returns true if the user is successfully logged in, and otherwise redirects the user to appropriate login page.
session_start();
$token = $authressClient->login->getToken();
$accessTokenClaims = $authressClient->login->verifyToken($token);
echo json_encode($accessTokenClaims);

// Or set it as the `Authorization Header` to call another service:

$client->request('POST', 'https://api.application.com', [
    headers => [
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $token
    ]
]);
