Automatic subscription via JWT claims doesn't support array of strings as values

[patrickmedina]

Summary and context

Automatic subscription only supports strings as claims value. When passing claims with array of strings, the automatic subscription doesn't work at all. The most common use case for this is the "Roles" claim which is typically provided as an array of strings. Though this subscriptions can be added later after initiating the websocket/sse connection, it would be beneficial to have this as part of the automatic subscription via JWT claims during connection.

How to reproduce

When I run RIG with these settings:

JWT

{
"iss": "Online JWT Builder",
"iat": 1622458324,
"exp": 1653994324,
"aud": "www.example.com",
"sub": "jrocket@example.com",
"GivenName": "Johnny",
"Surname": "Rocket",
"Email": "jrocket@example.com",
"Roles": [
"Admin",
"Tester"
]
}

Example Event

{"data":{"clientId":"Personnel30","name":"User1","position":{"x":5170,"y":-2480,"z":370},"timestamp":"12304967032","userType":"Admin"},"id":"58bc0707-a9d7-41f8-91eb-12db371ff272","source":"test","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-04T02:58:16Z","type":"position"}

Extractor json

{
"position": {
"userType": {
"stable_field_index": 1,
"event": {
"json_pointer": "/data/userType"
},
"jwt": {
"json_pointer": "/Roles"
}
}
}
}

..and set up clients and services like this:

Websocket connection

wscat -c ws://localhost:4000/_rig/v1/connection/ws\?jwt\=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJPbmxpbmUgSldUIEJ1aWxkZXIiLCJpYXQiOjE2MjI0NTgzMjQsImV4cCI6MTY1Mzk5NDMyNCwiYXVkIjoid3d3LmV4YW1wbGUuY29tIiwic3ViIjoianJvY2tldEBleGFtcGxlLmNvbSIsIkdpdmVuTmFtZSI6IkpvaG5ueSIsIlN1cm5hbWUiOiJSb2NrZXQiLCJFbWFpbCI6Impyb2NrZXRAZXhhbXBsZS5jb20iLCJSb2xlcyI6WyJBZG1pbiIsIlRlc3RlciJdfQ.H8y1h8lwC4Jw-zUWY5Rlmkut9xnv9lVCDRue7NVLWSY

Websocket response

{"data":[{"eventType":"position","oneOf":[{"userType":["Admin","Tester"]}]}],"id":"da125119-090c-4687-b3d7-a9d41c739887","source":"rig","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-31T11:20:52.842666+00:00","type":"rig.subscriptions_set"}

..I see the following error and/or log output:

Unable to receive any events, neither "userType": "Admin" nor "userType": "Tester"

{"data":{"clientId":"Personnel30","name":"User1","position":{"x":5170,"y":-2480,"z":370},"timestamp":"12304967032","userType":"Admin"},"id":"58bc0707-a9d7-41f8-91eb-12db371ff272","source":"test","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-04T02:58:16Z","type":"position"}

or

{"data":{"clientId":"Personnel30","name":"User1","position":{"x":5170,"y":-2480,"z":370},"timestamp":"12304967032","userType":"Tester"},"id":"58bc0707-a9d7-41f8-91eb-12db371ff272","source":"test","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-04T02:58:16Z","type":"position"}

..but I really expected this:

RIG should accept events with /data/userType value of either "Admin" or "Tester". I think there should be parsing during automatic subscription when the value of the json pointer is an array of strings, it should add the values in the array as "oneOf" values. Current subscription

{"data":[{"eventType":"position","oneOf":[{"userType":["Admin","Tester"]}]}],"id":"da125119-090c-4687-b3d7-a9d41c739887","source":"rig","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-31T11:20:52.842666+00:00","type":"rig.subscriptions_set"}

Expected subscription

{"data":[{"eventType":"position","oneOf":[{"userType":"Admin"},{"userType":"Tester"}]}],"id":"da125119-090c-4687-b3d7-a9d41c739887","source":"rig","specversion":"0.2","time":"2021-05-31T11:20:52.842666+00:00","type":"rig.subscriptions_set"}
