WSCLI command line tool and SDK for PHP

WSCLI

The wscli is ISECure WS-Channel SaaS command line client. It uses WSCLI SDK for PHP that is boosted version of OpenAPI 2.0 generated client SDK. See details about the SDK below.

$ curl -LSs https://isecurefi.github.io/wscli-php/installer.php | php
$ ./wscli.phar --version

ISECure WS-Channel runs on AWS API Gateway and follows somewhat RESTful API style. See OpenAPI 2.0 API specification and online API documentation for more information.

WS-Channel service supports banks in Finland and uses SEPA WebServices interface towards banks. It supports certificate enrollment and file transfers. Additionally, the services provides account management with admin account and file transfers with data account (both use the same email registration address and phone number). admin account always requires SMS one-time password per login session (2FA/MFA). This way data account credentials can be stored on e.g. filesystem (with proper permissions) for automation and managemnt credentials used separately (admin account password and phone).

To-Be-Done: PGP keys can be used to sign file uploads (with data account) for authorization decisions, n of m signatures required scheme, if needed. These PGP keys are imported as authorization keys. Certificates and more precisely, their private keys, can be imported and exported for the registered PGP keys imported as export PGP keys.

Every account must have an API Key, e.g. integrator's API Key. Certificates can be shared between accounts having the same API Key - the account owner shares its certificates to other accounts. This can be helpful if multiple accounts are required, but only one set of bank certificates.

For clients WSCLI PHP SDK provides beefed up OpenAPI 2.0 generated SDK interface with WS-Channel service account registration, session login, and file transfers, and PGP based file upload authorizations. Clients do not need to worry about challenge-response fetching, RSA encryption or email/phone verification - all this happens automatically with WSCLI PHP SDK. In addition, the login session is preserved and checked in the settings file for expiration, which makes using the command line client easier.

Run wscli on Docker

You can run wscli through docker container.

Here is an example minimal Dockerfile.

FROM php:5.6-zts-jessie
RUN curl -LSs https://isecurefi.github.io/wscli-php/installer.php | php && \
    cp wscli.phar /usr/local/bin/wscli && \
    cp wscli.phar.pubkey /usr/local/bin/wscli.pubkey

And commands to use it. It assumes that you have ~/.wscli/settings.yaml configuration file properly setup. So, it runs the wscli:latest docker container and the wscli command in it that we just installed when we built the container.

docker build -t wscli:latest .
docker run -v ${HOME}/.wscli:/root/.wscli wscli wscli session login

Install wscli tool

You can install wscli with the following commands. The tool is a PHAR file.

$ curl -LSs https://isecurefi.github.io/wscli-php/installer.php | php
$ ./wscli.phar --version

Optionally setup as /usr/local/bin/wscli:

$ sudo cp wscli.phar /usr/local/bin/wscli
$ sudo cp wscli.phar.pubkey /usr/local/bin/wscli.pubkey
$ wscli --version

Tool can be updated and rollbacked if needed. We recommend checking for updates frequently:

$ sudo wscli --update
$ sudo wscli --rollback

NOTE: The wscli itself is distributed as PHAR file. PHP was selected as the programming language to write beefed up SDK and command line client as most of our clients use PHP on their backends. Other languages are also supported on request (C#, Javascript, Python, ..).

Create configuration file

Create ~/.wscli/settings.yaml file to keep default values for your setup. wscli will also add session information into the file, so your session is available for wscli commands readily.

settings:
    filetype: KTL
    filestatus: ALL
    bank: nordea
    environment: testing
    name: 'Dan Forsberg'
    phone: '+358404835507'
    email: dforsber@gmail.com
    company: 'ISECure Oy'
    apikey: <add your apikey or "0" for new regs and update once registered>
    password: <add 20 char long pw with big/small chars and spec chars and numbers>
    mode: admin

Note that the session information is not shown in the example above.

WSCLI SDK for PHP

wscli uses WSCLI SDK for PHP that is based on OpenAPI 2.0 generated client side SDK. It uses API to automatically fetch challenge, utilizes required password RSA encryption and phone/email verification logic during registration.

The SDK allows clients to focus on simple things, like calling register() and then login() with or without parameters (when settings are stored on configuration file).

The SDK supports storing settings on a file, including session credentials fetched during login. By default the file is ~/.wscli/settings.yaml. This allows running commands in a simple form without too many arguments:

$ wscli session login
$ wscli files listFiles --bank=nordea --status=ALL --filetype=KTL

NOTE: On the other parts than account and session the SDK is basically on the same level OpenAPI 2.0 generated SDK. However, on the files API, the SDK adds support for downloading set of files similar to the listing files API. It just downloads file one by one using the corresponding downloadFile API and by first calling listFiles.

Download WSCLI SDK for PHP

See WSCLI SDK and WSCLI client releases on GitHub isecurefi/wscli-php project. The API documentation and OpenAPI 2.0 JSON API in isecurefi/wsapi-v2 description are available online. See also wscli-php pages.
