Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This specification generalizes the discovery mechanisms defined by "OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0" [OpenID.Discovery] in a way that is compatible with OpenID Connect Discovery, while being applicable to a wider set of OAuth 2.0 use cases. This is intentionally parallel to the way that the "OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration Protocol" [RFC7591] specification generalized the dynamic client registration mechanisms defined by "OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration 1.0" [OpenID.Registration] in a way that was compatible with it.

In order for an OAuth client to utilize OAuth 2.0 services for a resource owner, the client needs to know where the OAuth 2.0 authorization server is. This specification uses WebFinger [RFC7033] to locate the authorization server for an resource owner. This process is described in Section 2.

Once the authorization server has been identified, the configuration information for that authorization server is retrieved from a well-known location as a JSON [RFC7159] document, including its OAuth 2.0 endpoint locations and authorization server capabilities. This process is described in Section 4.

1.1. Requirements Notation and Conventions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

All uses of JSON Web Signature (JWS) [JWS] and JSON Web Encryption (JWE) [JWE] data structures in this specification utilize the JWS Compact Serialization or the JWE Compact Serialization; the JWS JSON Serialization and the JWE JSON Serialization are not used.

1.2. Terminology

This specification uses the terms "Access Token", "Authorization Code", "Authorization Endpoint", "Authorization Grant", "Authorization Server", "Client", "Client Authentication", "Client Identifier", "Client Secret", "Grant Type", "Protected Resource", "Redirection URI", "Refresh Token", "Resource Owner", "Resource Server", "Response Type", and "Token Endpoint" defined by OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749], the terms "Claim Name", "Claim Value", and "JSON Web Token (JWT)" defined by JSON Web Token (JWT) [JWT], and the term "Response Mode" defined by OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type Encoding Practices [OAuth.Responses].

This specification also defines the following terms:

Resource

Entity that is the target of a request in WebFinger.
Host

Server where a WebFinger service is hosted.

2. Authorization Server WebFinger Discovery

Authorization server WebFinger discovery is a means of determining the location of the authorization server's configuration information.

WebFinger discovery is OPTIONAL; if a client knows the authorization server's configuration information location through an out-of-band mechanism, it can skip this step and proceed to Section 4.

WebFinger discovery requires the following information to make a discovery request:

resource

Identifier for the target resource owner that is the subject of the discovery request.
host

Server where the WebFinger service is hosted.
rel

URI identifying the type of service whose location is being requested.

OAuth discovery uses the following rel value in WebFinger [RFC7033]:

Rel Type URI
OAuth 2.0 Configuration Information Location URL http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer

To start discovery of OAuth 2.0 configuration information, the resource owner supplies a URI to the client that can be used to discover the corresponding authorization server. In some cases, the client may know this URI without involvement of the resource owner. This URI might, for instance, be an e-mail address, an account identifier, a profile URL, or a service or tenant URL.

The host to which the WebFinger request will be made is obtained from the URI. The client then makes an HTTP GET request to the host's WebFinger [RFC7033] endpoint using the URI as the resource parameter value and the rel value http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer to obtain the authorization server's configuration information location.

The configuration information location MUST be returned in the WebFinger response as the value of the href member of a links array element with rel member value http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer. As described in Section 6, despite the identifier http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer appearing to be OpenID-specific, its usage in this specification is actually referring to a general OAuth 2.0 feature that is not specific to OpenID Connect. (Per Section 7 of WebFinger [RFC7033], obtaining the WebFinger response may first involve following some redirects.)

The returned configuration information location MUST be a URI RFC 3986 [RFC3986] with a scheme component that MUST be https, a host component, and optionally, port and path components and no query or fragment components. Note that the WebFinger response can return a configuration information location value using a completely different scheme, host, port, and path from any contained in the input URI, and no relationship can be assumed between the input URI and the resulting configuration information location.

An example WebFinger discovery request follows. To find the authorization server's configuration information location for the account identified using the e-mail address syntax joe@example.com and corresponding account URI acct:joe@example.com, the WebFinger parameters are as follows:

WebFinger Parameter Value
resource acct:joe@example.com
host example.com
rel http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer

The client would make the following WebFinger request to discover the authorization server's configuration information location (with line wraps within lines for display purposes only):

  GET /.well-known/webfinger
    ?resource=acct%3Ajoe%40example.com
    &rel=http%3A%2F%2Fopenid.net%2Fspecs%2Fconnect%2F1.0%2Fissuer
    HTTP/1.1
  Host: example.com

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

  {
   "subject": "acct:joe@example.com",
   "links":
    [
     {
      "rel": "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer",
      "href": "https://server.example.com"
     }
    ]
  }

The discovered authorization server configuration information location is https://server.example.com.

3. Authorization Server Metadata

Authorization servers can have metadata describing their configuration. These authorization server metadata values are used by this specification:

issuer

REQUIRED. URL of the authorization server's configuration information location, which uses the https scheme and has no query or fragment components. This is the location where .well-known RFC 5785 [RFC5785] resources containing information about the authorization server are published, and in particular, the /.well-known/openid-configuration resource defined in Section 4. If WebFinger discovery is supported (see Section 2), this value MUST be identical to the configuration information location value returned by WebFinger.
authorization_endpoint

REQUIRED. URL of the authorization server's authorization endpoint [RFC6749].
token_endpoint

URL of the authorization server's token endpoint [RFC6749]. This is REQUIRED unless only the implicit grant type is used.
jwks_uri

REQUIRED. URL of the authorization server's JWK Set [JWK] document. This contains the signing key(s) the client uses to validate signatures from the authorization server. The JWK Set MAY also contain the Server's encryption key(s), which are used by RPs to encrypt requests to the Server. When both signing and encryption keys are made available, a use (public key use) parameter value is REQUIRED for all keys in the referenced JWK Set to indicate each key's intended usage. Although some algorithms allow the same key to be used for both signatures and encryption, doing so is NOT RECOMMENDED, as it is less secure. The JWK x5c parameter MAY be used to provide X.509 representations of keys provided. When used, the bare key values MUST still be present and MUST match those in the certificate.
registration_endpoint

RECOMMENDED. URL of the authorization server's OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration endpoint [RFC7591].
scopes_supported

RECOMMENDED. JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749] scope values that this authorization server supports. Servers MAY choose not to advertise some supported scope values even when this parameter is used.
response_types_supported

REQUIRED. JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 response_type values that this authorization server supports.
response_modes_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 response_mode values that this authorization server supports, as specified in OAuth 2.0 Multiple Response Type Encoding Practices [OAuth.Responses]. If omitted, the default is ["query", "fragment"]. The response mode value form_post is also defined in OAuth 2.0 Form Post Response Mode [OAuth.Post].
grant_types_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of the OAuth 2.0 grant type values that this authorization server supports. If omitted, the default value is ["authorization_code", "implicit"].
token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of client authentication methods supported by this token endpoint. Client authentication method values are used in the token_endpoint_auth_method parameter defined in Section 2 of [RFC7591]. If omitted, the default is client_secret_basic -- the HTTP Basic Authentication Scheme specified in Section 2.3.1 of OAuth 2.0 [RFC6749].
token_endpoint_auth_signing_alg_values_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms (alg values) supported by the token endpoint for the signature on the JWT [JWT] used to authenticate the client at the token endpoint for the private_key_jwt and client_secret_jwt authentication methods. Servers SHOULD support RS256. The value none MUST NOT be used.
service_documentation

OPTIONAL. URL of a page containing human-readable information that developers might want or need to know when using the authorization server. In particular, if the authorization server does not support Dynamic Client Registration, then information on how to register clients needs to be provided in this documentation.
ui_locales_supported

OPTIONAL. Languages and scripts supported for the user interface, represented as a JSON array of BCP47 [RFC5646] language tag values.
op_policy_uri

OPTIONAL. URL that the authorization server provides to the person registering the client to read about the authorization server's requirements on how the client can use the data provided by the authorization server. The registration process SHOULD display this URL to the person registering the client if it is given. As described in Section 6, despite the identifier op_policy_uri, appearing to be OpenID-specific, its usage in this specification is actually referring to a general OAuth 2.0 feature that is not specific to OpenID Connect.
op_tos_uri

OPTIONAL. URL that the authorization server provides to the person registering the client to read about authorization server's terms of service. The registration process SHOULD display this URL to the person registering the client if it is given. As described in Section 6, despite the identifier op_tos_uri, appearing to be OpenID-specific, its usage in this specification is actually referring to a general OAuth 2.0 feature that is not specific to OpenID Connect.
revocation_endpoint

OPTIONAL. URL of the authorization server's OAuth 2.0 revocation endpoint [RFC7009].
revocation_endpoint_auth_methods_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of client authentication methods supported by this revocation endpoint. The valid client authentication method values are those registered in the IANA "OAuth Token Endpoint Authentication Methods" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters].
revocation_endpoint_auth_signing_alg_values_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms (alg values) supported by the revocation endpoint for the signature on the JWT [JWT] used to authenticate the client at the revocation endpoint for the private_key_jwt and client_secret_jwt authentication methods. The value none MUST NOT be used.
introspection_endpoint

OPTIONAL. URL of the authorization server's OAuth 2.0 introspection endpoint [RFC7662].
introspection_endpoint_auth_methods_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of client authentication methods supported by this introspection endpoint. The valid client authentication method values are those registered in the IANA "OAuth Token Endpoint Authentication Methods" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters] or those registered in the IANA "OAuth Access Token Types" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters]. (These values are and will remain distinct, due to Section 8.2.)
introspection_endpoint_auth_signing_alg_values_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of the JWS signing algorithms (alg values) supported by the introspection endpoint for the signature on the JWT [JWT] used to authenticate the client at the introspection endpoint for the private_key_jwt and client_secret_jwt authentication methods. The value none MUST NOT be used.
code_challenge_methods_supported

OPTIONAL. JSON array containing a list of PKCE [RFC7636] code challenge methods supported by this authorization server. Code challenge method values are used in the code_challenge_method parameter defined in Section 4.3 of [RFC7636]. The valid code challenge method values are those registered in the IANA "PKCE Code Challenge Methods" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters].

Additional authorization server metadata parameters MAY also be used. Some are defined by other specifications, such as OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 [OpenID.Discovery].

4. Obtaining Authorization Server Configuration Information

Using the configuration information location discovered as described in Section 2 or by other means, the authorization server's configuration information can be retrieved.

Authorization servers supporting discovery MUST make a JSON document available at the path formed by concatenating the string /.well-known/openid-configuration to the configuration information location. The syntax and semantics of .well-known are defined in RFC 5785 [RFC5785] and apply to the configuration information location value when it contains no path component. openid-configuration MUST point to a JSON document compliant with this specification and MUST be returned using the application/json content type. As described in Section 6, despite the identifier /.well-known/openid-configuration, appearing to be OpenID-specific, its usage in this specification is actually referring to a general OAuth 2.0 feature that is not specific to OpenID Connect.

4.1. Authorization Server Configuration Information Request

An authorization server configuration information document MUST be queried using an HTTP GET request at the previously specified path.

The client would make the following request to the configuration information location https://example.com to obtain its configuration information, since the configuration information location contains no path component:

  GET /.well-known/openid-configuration HTTP/1.1
  Host: example.com

If the configuration information location value contains a path component, any terminating / MUST be removed before appending /.well-known/openid-configuration. The client would make the following request to the configuration information location https://example.com/issuer1 to obtain its configuration information, since the configuration information location contains a path component:

  GET /issuer1/.well-known/openid-configuration HTTP/1.1
  Host: example.com

Using path components enables supporting multiple issuers per host. This is required in some multi-tenant hosting configurations. This use of .well-known is for supporting multiple issuers per host; unlike its use in RFC 5785 [RFC5785], it does not provide general information about the host.

4.2. Authorization Server Configuration Information Response

The response is a set of claims about the authorization server's configuration, including all necessary endpoints and public key location information. A successful response MUST use the 200 OK HTTP status code and return a JSON object using the application/json content type that contains a set of claims as its members that are a subset of the metadata values defined in Section 3. Other claims MAY also be returned.

Claims that return multiple values are represented as JSON arrays. Claims with zero elements MUST be omitted from the response.

An error response uses the applicable HTTP status code value.

The following is a non-normative example response:

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

  {
   "issuer":
     "https://server.example.com",
   "authorization_endpoint":
     "https://server.example.com/connect/authorize",
   "token_endpoint":
     "https://server.example.com/connect/token",
   "token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported":
     ["client_secret_basic", "private_key_jwt"],
   "token_endpoint_auth_signing_alg_values_supported":
     ["RS256", "ES256"],
   "userinfo_endpoint":
     "https://server.example.com/connect/userinfo",
   "jwks_uri":
     "https://server.example.com/jwks.json",
   "registration_endpoint":
     "https://server.example.com/connect/register",
   "scopes_supported":
     ["openid", "profile", "email", "address",
      "phone", "offline_access"],
   "response_types_supported":
     ["code", "code token"],
   "service_documentation":
     "http://server.example.com/connect/service_documentation.html",
   "ui_locales_supported":
     ["en-US", "en-GB", "en-CA", "fr-FR", "fr-CA"]
  }

4.3. Authorization Server Configuration Information Validation

If any of the validation procedures defined in this specification fail, any operations requiring the information that failed to correctly validate MUST be aborted and the information that failed to validate MUST NOT be used.

The issuer value returned MUST be identical to the configuration information location URL that was directly used to retrieve the configuration information.

5. String Operations

Processing some OAuth 2.0 messages requires comparing values in the messages to known values. For example, the member names in the configuration information response might be compared to specific member names such as issuer. Comparing Unicode [UNICODE] strings, however, has significant security implications.

Therefore, comparisons between JSON strings and other Unicode strings MUST be performed as specified below:

  1. Remove any JSON applied escaping to produce an array of Unicode code points.
  2. Unicode Normalization [USA15] MUST NOT be applied at any point to either the JSON string or to the string it is to be compared against.
  3. Comparisons between the two strings MUST be performed as a Unicode code point to code point equality comparison.

6. Compatibility Notes

The identifiers /.well-known/openid-configuration, http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer, op_policy_uri, and op_tos_uri contain strings referring to the OpenID Connect [OpenID.Core] family of specifications that were originally defined by "OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0" [OpenID.Discovery]. Despite the reuse of these identifiers that appear to be OpenID-specific, their usage in this specification is actually referring to general OAuth 2.0 features that are not specific to OpenID Connect.

7. Security Considerations

7.1. TLS Requirements

Implementations MUST support TLS. Which version(s) ought to be implemented will vary over time, and depend on the widespread deployment and known security vulnerabilities at the time of implementation. The authorization server MUST support TLS version 1.2 [RFC5246] and MAY support additional transport-layer security mechanisms meeting its security requirements. When using TLS, the client MUST perform a TLS/SSL server certificate check, per RFC 6125 [RFC6125]. Implementation security considerations can be found in Recommendations for Secure Use of TLS and DTLS [BCP195].

To protect against information disclosure and tampering, confidentiality protection MUST be applied using TLS with a ciphersuite that provides confidentiality and integrity protection.

7.2. Impersonation Attacks

TLS certificate checking MUST be performed by the client, as described in Section 7.1, when making an authorization server configuration information request. Checking that the server certificate is valid for the configuration information location URL prevents man-in-middle and DNS-based attacks. These attacks could cause a client to be tricked into using an attacker's keys and endpoints, which would enable impersonation of the legitimate authorization server. If an attacker can accomplish this, they can access the resources that the affected client has access to using the authorization server that they are impersonating.

An attacker may also attempt to impersonate an authorization server by publishing a discovery document that contains an issuer claim using the configuration information location URL of the authorization server being impersonated, but with its own endpoints and signing keys. This would enable it to impersonate that authorization server, if accepted by the client. To prevent this, RPs MUST ensure that the configuration information location URL they are using for the configuration information request exactly matches the value of the issuer metadata value in the authorization server configuration information document received by the client.

8. IANA Considerations

The following registration procedure is used for the registry established by this specification.

Values are registered on a Specification Required [RFC5226] basis after a two-week review period on the oauth-ext-review@ietf.org mailing list, on the advice of one or more Designated Experts. However, to allow for the allocation of values prior to publication, the Designated Experts may approve registration once they are satisfied that such a specification will be published.

Registration requests sent to the mailing list for review should use an appropriate subject (e.g., "Request to register OAuth Discovery Metadata: example").

Within the review period, the Designated Experts will either approve or deny the registration request, communicating this decision to the review list and IANA. Denials should include an explanation and, if applicable, suggestions as to how to make the request successful. Registration requests that are undetermined for a period longer than 21 days can be brought to the IESG's attention (using the iesg@ietf.org mailing list) for resolution.

Criteria that should be applied by the Designated Experts includes determining whether the proposed registration duplicates existing functionality, determining whether it is likely to be of general applicability or whether it is useful only for a single application, and whether the registration makes sense.

IANA must only accept registry updates from the Designated Experts and should direct all requests for registration to the review mailing list.

It is suggested that multiple Designated Experts be appointed who are able to represent the perspectives of different applications using this specification, in order to enable broadly-informed review of registration decisions. In cases where a registration decision could be perceived as creating a conflict of interest for a particular Expert, that Expert should defer to the judgment of the other Experts.

8.1. OAuth Discovery Metadata Registry

This specification establishes the IANA "OAuth Discovery Metadata" registry for OAuth 2.0 authorization server metadata names. The registry records the authorization server metadata member and a reference to the specification that defines it.

8.1.1. Registration Template

Discovery Metadata Name:

The name requested (e.g., "issuer"). This name is case-sensitive. Names may not match other registered names in a case-insensitive manner unless the Designated Experts state that there is a compelling reason to allow an exception.
Discovery Metadata Description:

Brief description of the discovery metadata (e.g., "Issuer URL").
Change Controller:

For Standards Track RFCs, list the "IESG". For others, give the name of the responsible party. Other details (e.g., postal address, email address, home page URI) may also be included.
Specification Document(s):

Reference to the document or documents that specify the parameter, preferably including URIs that can be used to retrieve copies of the documents. An indication of the relevant sections may also be included but is not required.

8.1.2. Initial Registry Contents

8.2. Updated Registration Instructions

This specification adds to the instructions for the Designated Experts of the following IANA registries, both of which are in the "OAuth Parameters" registry [IANA.OAuth.Parameters]:

IANA has added a link to this specification in the Reference sections of these registries. [[ RFC Editor: The above sentence is written in the past tense as it would appear in the final specification, even though these links won't actually be created until after the IESG has requested publication of the specification. Please delete this note after the links are in place. ]]

For these registries, the designated experts must reject registration requests in one registry for values already occurring in the other registry. This is necessary because the introspection_endpoint_auth_methods_supported parameter allows for the use of values from either registry. That way, because the values in the two registries will continue to be mutually exclusive, no ambiguities will arise.
