Etude : OpenID dans Tchap iOS

[NicolasBuquet]

Analyser l'usage de OpenID Connect dans le code de Tchap :

• [ ] lister les modules et méthodes concernées
• [ ] lister les dépendances au back-end
• [ ] lister les appels demandant un token OpenID

Classe MXIdentityService:

La méthode suivante nécessite un openID token pour demander un nouvel access token.

- (MXHTTPOperation*)renewAccessTokenWithSuccess:(void (^)(NSString*))success failure:(void (^)(NSError *))failure
{
    if (!self.homeserverRestClient)
    {
        NSError *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"MXIdentityService" code:0 userInfo:nil];

        return nil;
    }

    MXHTTPOperation *operation;

    MXWeakify(self);

    operation = [self.homeserverRestClient openIdToken:^(MXOpenIdToken *tokenObject) {

        MXStrongifyAndReturnIfNil(self);

        MXHTTPOperation *operation2 = [self.restClient registerWithOpenIdToken:tokenObject success:^(NSString * _Nonnull accessToken) {

            success(accessToken);

        } failure:^(NSError * _Nonnull error) {
            failure(error);
        }];

        [operation mutateTo:operation2];

L'obtention de l'openID token semble passer par l'intégration d'un service tiers par la classe IntegrationManagerViewController :

- (WidgetManagerConfig*)createWidgetManagerConfigForUser:(NSString*)userId
{
    WidgetManagerConfig *config;

    MXSession *session = [self matrixSessionForUser:userId];

    // Find the integrations settings for the user

    // First, look at matrix account
    // TODO in another user story

    // Then, try to the homeserver configuration
    MXWellknownIntegrationsManager *integrationsManager = session.homeserverWellknown.integrations.managers.firstObject;
    if (integrationsManager)
    {
        config = [[WidgetManagerConfig alloc] initWithApiUrl:integrationsManager.apiUrl uiUrl:integrationsManager.uiUrl];
    }
    else
    {
        // Fallback on app settings
        config = [self createWidgetManagerConfigWithAppSettings];
    }

    return config;
}

- (WidgetManagerConfig*)createWidgetManagerConfigWithAppSettings
{
    return [[WidgetManagerConfig alloc] initWithApiUrl:BuildSettings.integrationsRestApiUrlString
                                                 uiUrl:BuildSettings.integrationsUiUrlString];
}

L'usage de OpenID dans Matrix est basé sur la MSC1961 : https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/old_master/proposals/1961-integrations-auth.md

The Matrix spec proposal pull request : https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1961

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2140 defines a new v2 API for Identity Servers and uses OpenID authentication as defined in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1961.
