OidcHandler

The OidcHandler gets either called from a ServiceProxy instance or from an App instance.

A ServiceProxy instance either wants subject attributes (get_userinfo) or returns with an request for specific claims (need_claims). In the get_userinfo method it is checked if the user supplied an access token via the HTTP request headers (command line usage) or if an access token is saved in the session of the user (webbrowser usage). If an access token was found, the user information from the cache are returned. If the cache does not contain information, then an empty dictionary is returned. Note that here no authentication is enforced. If the need_claims method was called, the evaluation process returned that one or more specific subject attribute was missing to evaluate a rule. These claims are then converted to a list of scopes. These scopes are then asked for in the userinfo request if an access token was was found, or the user gets redirected either to a list of OpenID connect providers where he can choose his provider, or he gets redirected to the OpenID connect provider if only one is supported.

The App instance calls the OidcHandler to setup the connection with the OpenID Connect Providers. Either the client id and client secret were already found (create_client_from_secrets) or the client (our proxy) must register at the provider (register_first_time).

pyoidc

All subject attributes are claims of an OpenID Connect provider. Therefore we need to communicate with OpenID Connect Provider, act as a relying party and comply with the respective standards. The library pyoidc ([pyoidc]) enables us to comply with the standard without implementing it on our own.

pyjwkest

If the user does a request with an access token included, we need to contact the issuer of this access token to ensure that the access token is valid. Because many issuers (TODO: cite/prove) use JWTs we can parse them and contact the issuer that is stated inside the JWT. pyoidc uses for this task the library pyjwkest ([pyjwkest]) which we use as well.
